Overview

Fleet Focus is committed to doing the right thing and having a positive impact on people’s lives. We believe we have a responsibility to ensure that our business makes a positive contribution to those affected by our activities and that we take proactive steps to address circumstances where this is not the case.

All employees deserve the right to live and work with dignity and respect and we believe this ethos should equally apply to the employees of our suppliers, business partners and wider supply chain.

Scope

Slavery means the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised. This includes practices such as forced labour, debt bondage, the sale or exploitation of children and descent-based slavery.

Forced labour means all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty for which that person has not offered themselves voluntarily. A penalty could be a physical constraint, or it could take the form of other abuse such as threats of deportation, passport confiscation or wage non-payment that binds a worker to the employer.

Human trafficking involves the movement of a person, either across international borders or within the boundaries of a single country, by means of threat, deception, or abuse of vulnerability, for the purpose of exploitation.

Key Principles

Fleet Focus does not tolerate any form of slavery, forced labour or human trafficking, whether directly within our own business or within the operations and activities of our suppliers, business partners and wider supply chain, whether within the UK or Overseas.

We are committed to ensuring that slavery, forced labour and human trafficking does not take place within our supply chain or other parts of our business.

We will verify, evaluate and assess the risk of slavery, forced labour and human trafficking occurring within our supply chain and we expect our suppliers and business partners to co- operate and collaborate with us to achieve this. We also expect our suppliers and business partners to take their own proactive steps to eliminate these abuses within their own supply chains.

Where we have suspicions that any supplier or business partner is engaging or implicated in any incident of slavery, forced labour or human trafficking, we will undertake investigations and take appropriate action. This may take the form of providing our support to ensure improvements are made, making reports to the relevant legal authorities and if necessary, terminating our business relationships where issues are not resolved to our satisfaction.

We will encourage all of our employees, suppliers, business partners, competitors, customers, the general public and other interested parties to raise any genuine concerns or suspicions that they may have about our procurement practices, in complete confidence.

Whilst we appreciate that this process will be a long term and on-going project which will take time to complete in collaboration with a number of stakeholders, we undertake to always be open, honest and transparent as to the findings of our supplier audits and investigations and we urge our commercial contacts to do the same without fear of business interruption subject to appropriate remedial action being implemented.
