Modern Slavery Policy
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Emplas Window Systems Ltd are committed to trading ethically, sourcing responsibly, and working to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our organisation and supply chains. We take any allegation of human rights abuse seriously and operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in all its forms.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps taken by Emplas Group to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains for the financial year ending July 2025. It will be reviewed annually and published on our website.
