MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT

At Sustaina Drive, we believe that responsible business goes beyond performance—it’s about people, integrity, and doing the right thing. This statement outlines our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our business and supply chains, in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

‍

Who We Are

‍

Sustaina Drive operates at the intersection of workforce solutions and sustainable business practices. We partner with organisations to deliver people-focused services that support operational success while upholding strong ethical and environmental standards.

As both an employer and a supply chain partner, we recognise the influence we have—and the responsibility we carry—to protect individuals and promote fair, safe working conditions.

‍

‍

Our Commitment

‍

We are committed to building a business that is ethical, transparent, and accountable at every level. Sustaina Drive has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any form.

This commitment is embedded in how we work, who we work with, and the standards we expect across our network.

‍

‍

Working Responsibly with Partners

‍

Our work involves collaboration with clients, labour providers, payroll services, and other third-party partners. We understand that these relationships can present risks, particularly in complex labour supply chains.

That’s why we take a proactive approach—working only with partners who share our values and meet our expectations around legal compliance, ethical conduct, and worker welfare.

‍

‍

Our Policies and Standards

‍

We maintain a framework of policies that support our commitment to ethical business practices, including:

‍

  • Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
  • Ethical Trading Policy
  • Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy
  • Equal Opportunities Policy
  • ‍

These policies are regularly reviewed and form part of our day-to-day operations, helping our teams make informed, responsible decisions.

How We Manage Risk

‍

Preventing modern slavery requires vigilance and action. At Sustaina Drive, we apply practical, risk-based measures across our operations, including:

‍

  • What modern slavery can look like in practice

  • What to do if something doesn’t feel right

We promote a culture where concerns can be raised confidently and responsibly.
