Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Home » Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

This statement seeks to outline Bower’s commitment to combat modern slavery risks through the practices we adopt and the systems we have in place. The statement pertains to the calendar year ending 31st December 2022.

In line with our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy – and to illustrate our dedication to following transparent and ethical business practices – we have published our annual Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement. We have done so with a view to providing more information on the measures we are taking to fight against such unethical and immoral practices.

Like any responsible organisation, Bower has a zero-tolerance approach towards modern slavery. We take active steps to ensure no activities relating to slavery or human trafficking are present in either our corporate operations and/or within our supply chains.
