DR Newitt Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement & Policy
DR Newitt and its subsidiaries (D R Newitt & Associates, D R Newitt Recruitment, D R Newitt Limited, and D R Newitt Interim) recognise that modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all involving the deprivation of liberty for personal or commercial gain.
DR Newitt and all its subsidiaries uphold a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We are committed to conducting our business dealings and relationships with integrity and are dedicated to implementing effective systems and controls to prevent modern slavery from occurring within our own business and supply chains.
We ensure transparency in our business operations and in our approach to addressing modern slavery across our supply chains, in alignment with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We hold our contractors, suppliers, and partners to the same high standards, prohibiting any use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour and expect our suppliers to do the same.
