Whistleblowing policy
The Whistleblowing Policy encourages all Renovotec’s employees, customers and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities of the organisation or its supply chains. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking. The Whistleblowing Policy is designed to make it easy for workers to make disclosures, without fear of retaliation or reprisal.
Compliance
Our legal advisors are responsible for investigations in relation to known or suspected instances of slavery and human trafficking. Any matter that gave cause for concern would be passed to them for investigation.
Renovotec regularly evaluates the potential exposure to the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. Renovotec does not operate in a high-risk sector or locations and ensures compliance with all legislation. Where activities or countries are considered high risk in relation to slavery or human trafficking, Renovotec will carry out the appropriate risk assessment. Then interrogate the results and take action as appropriate.
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to the relevant members of staff. Which includes an introduction to the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Renovotec is committed to continuously reviewing and training to raise awareness to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are prevented.
