Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement

The Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment to combating exploitation and promoting ethical practices in all areas of our operations. At Elizabeth Andrews Catering, we are committed to conducting our business responsibly and ethically. This includes ensuring that our supply chains and business operations are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. We understand the importance of maintaining high ethical standards and human rights, and we are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking.

Organisational Structure

Elizabeth Andrews Catering is based in Melbourne, Australia, providing high-quality catering services across the region. We are recognised for our dedication to sustainability, quality, and ethical business practices.

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chains include the procurement of food products, beverages, catering supplies, and other goods necessary for the provision of our services. We are committed to ensuring that our suppliers adhere to the highest standards of ethics and human rights.

Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are dedicated to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or any part of our business. Our Anti-Slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we have in place systems to:

  • Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
  • Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
  • Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
  • Protect whistleblowers.

Supplier Adherence to Our Values

We have zero tolerance for slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values, we have in place a supply chain compliance program. This consists of:

  • Conducting due diligence on all new suppliers before allowing them to become part of our supply chain.
  • Including anti-slavery and human trafficking clauses in our contracts.
  • Requiring regular compliance audits by external providers.

Training

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 our staff. We also require our business partners to provide training to their staff and suppliers and providers.

Our Effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking

We use the following key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure how effective we have been in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:

  • Use of labour monitoring and payroll systems.
  • Level of communication and personal contact with the next link in the supply chain and their understanding of, and compliance with, our expectations.

This statement is made pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our group’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the current financial year.
