At the Buttress Group t/a Maidaid Halcyon, we recognise the responsibility that we share with our suppliers, to buy materials and deliver our services in an ethical manner. As part of this commitment, we acknowledge our responsibility towards the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within the organisation and with our suppliers of goods and services to Buttress Group t/a Maidaid Halcyon.
We want our customers to be confident that our business partners treat their employees fairly, with respect for human rights, and are not exposed to unsafe working conditions or in any way forced to work under slavery. We believe that when ethical standards are in place, this can improve worker well-being, productivity, and quality, which benefits both our suppliers and our customers. Only suppliers who share our standards and values will be considered appropriate to trade with Buttress Group t/a Maidaid Halcyon and we seek to develop long-term trading relationships with suppliers based on the principle of fair, open, and honest dealings at all times.
As a part of our company’s due diligence process, we question our suppliers on a regular basis and will only work with organisations who also commit to the eradication of slavery and human trafficking.
Imported products sourced from outside the UK or EC are potentially more at risk of slavery or human trafficking issues. If products have to be sourced from such locations, we look to work in partnership with companies who possess certifications that have independently assessed standards that reinforce their commitment to human rights, working conditions, and the provision of a living wage.
Buttress Group t/a Maidaid Halcyon will not work with any organisation that either has or is found to be knowingly involved within either human trafficking or modern slavery.
The Directors and Management shall be responsible for the application of this policy and ensure all activity complies with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Buttress Group t/a Maidaid Halcyon will provide adequate resources, training, and investment to ensure its successful application.
