Voluntary Legal Entity Modern Slavery Statement
1. Introduction
1.1. ISOQAR Limited does not meet the reporting threshold under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. However, as a responsible and ethical organisation, we have chosen to voluntarily publish this statement to demonstrate our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains.
1.2. This voluntary statement outlines the actions ISOQAR Limited has taken during the 2026 financial year to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
2. What is Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
2.1. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
2.2. Human trafficking specifically involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of individuals through force, coercion, deception or abuse of vulnerability for the purpose of exploitation.
2.3. Indicators of modern slavery may include but are not limited to: restrictions on freedom of movement, retention of passports or documents, deceptive recruitment practices, intimidation or threats, withholding of wages, or working conditions that suggest coercion or exploitation. Employees are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any concerns via internal reporting mechanisms.
