What is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a serious crime that involves exploiting people for profit. It can take many forms, including forced labor, human trafficking, and servitude. It's important to remember that modern slavery is defined by the use of coercion, threats, or deception to force people into work they cannot leave. It can also include the "worst forms of child labor," which are severe and dangerous types of exploitation, not all work done by children.
Our business is small, but our responsibility is large. We believe that by acting ethically and with integrity, we can contribute to a world free from modern slavery.
Statutory Definitions
The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (‘Act’) defines modern slavery as including eight types of serious exploitation:
(1) trafficking in persons, (2) slavery, (3) servitude, (4) forced labour, (5) forced marriage, (6) debt bondage, (7) the worst forms of child labour, and (8) deceptive recruiting for labour or services.
The worst forms of child labour means extreme forms of child labour that involve the serious exploitation of children, including through enslavement or exposure to dangerous work. The worst forms of child labour does not mean all child work.
Under Australian law, modern slavery is defined in the Act. In the event of any inconsistency, the definitions in the Act take precedence over this policy.
