Anti-Slavery Policy

Introduction

Modern Slavery is not just a heinous crime but a serious violation of fundamental human rights. Modern slavery can be manifested in various forms including servitude, slavery, forced labour and human trafficking, all of which involve the deprivation of a person’s liberty for the purposes of exploiting him or her for commercial or personal gain.

X-Press Container Line (UK) Ltd (“X-Press Feeders”) adopts a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, and is fully committed to implementing and maintaining systems to combat modern slavery. We comply in full with our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and as part of this process, we carry out ongoing reviews of our business and operations processes in order to identify, address and eliminate potential risk areas.

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including but not limited to employees, directors, officers, executives, agents, interns, contractors, managers and business partners.
This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment and we may amend it from time to time.
