1.1 Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Plastic Pictures is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.

As an equal opportunities employer, we're committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.

We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

1.2 Our supply chain

Plastic Pictures is committed to continuously improving its practices to identify and eliminate any slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships.

Plastic Pictures suppliers are typically freelance contractors. These suppliers are individuals who our staff interact with directly through the projects. As a result, the scope for modern slavery in these relationships is considered relatively low.

The following policies are available to all staff:

  • Code of conduct
  • Bullying & harassment policy
  • Bribery & corruption policy
  • Child protection

1.3 Embedding the principles

We will continue to embed the principles through:

  • providing awareness training to staff on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and informing them of the appropriate action to take if they suspect a case of slavery or human trafficking
  • ensuring staff involved in procurement activity are aware of and follow modern slavery procurement guidance on GOV.UK
  • ensuring that consideration of the modern slavery risks and prevention are added to Plastic Pictures policy review process as an employer and procurer of goods and services
  • continuing to take action to embed a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery
  • ensuring that staff involved in recruitment and deployment of workers receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices
