Policy
Sigma Strategy has a strong commitment to social responsibility. While the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) does not mandate us to report on Modern Slavery risks, we believe strongly in our responsibility to the community, environment, our people and our clients.
The purpose of this policy is to:
- ensure that the goods and services purchased through our supply chain are ethical and minimise Modern Slavery risks;
- set out the responsibilities of the Company and its subsidiaries, our employees, operations and suppliers in observing and upholding the Company’s position on Modern Slavery; and
- provide information and guidance to our employees on how to recognise and deal with Modern Slavery issues.
This policy is endorsed by the Company’s board and management, who have ultimate responsibility for its implementation.
Scope
This policy applies to all directors of the Board, management, staff and contractors engaged and undertaking work on behalf of the Company.
This policy applies to our operations, activities and all of our dealings with third parties whether they be with private organisations, individuals or any representatives of such persons. Compliance with this policy is the responsibility of all Company personnel.
The Company expects our suppliers to uphold the same standards, including in dealings with their suppliers, and the Company commits to working in partnership with our suppliers to implement this policy.
Meaning of Modern Slavery
The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) requires all Australian entities or foreign entities carrying on business in Australia that have a consolidated revenue of $100 million or more, to publicly report on, amongst other things, risks of Modern Slavery in their operations and supply chains. The Company defines Modern Slavery in accordance with the definitions provided in the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), that is, including slavery; servitude; forced labour; deceptive recruiting; forced marriage; debt bondage; trafficking in persons; and child labour.
Ethical Standards
The Company endeavours to ensure that we, and our personnel, comply with all laws related to Modern Slavery or Prohibited Business Practices, within our operations, activities and supply chains, endeavouring to ensure:
- employment is freely chosen,
- child labour is not used,
- a living wage is paid to all individuals, and
- individuals are not required to work excessive hours.
