Here are the steps that Zenith has taken and continues to take to understand and minimise the potential risk of modern slavery in its business and supply chains.
This statement is published in line with section 54 (1) (2) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Established in 2001, Zenith People Ltd is one of the UK’s leading labour providers in the North East, supporting a range of sectors primarily within the Food, Packaging and Automotive sectors, along with Engineering and Manufacturing, Construction, Logistics, IT & Commercial. We pride ourselves in offering a compliant, ethical service to our clients and candidates operating within GLAA Licensing Standards.
At Zenith, we are committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking. We consider the prevention of Modern Slavery as one of our highest priorities and we have implemented the relevant checks, policies and procedures throughout our business to protect our candidates and clients from acts of Modern Slavery. These processes are paramount in allowing us to identify exploitation at the earliest stage. The checks we conduct to identify potential signs of Modern Slavery start right at the beginning of the recruitment process. We have a fantastic MI system that can check workers details when they are uploaded on our database, looking for patterns with other workers details such as duplicate telephone numbers, addresses, next of kin and bank details.
Compliance is driven through every process we have which is essential in the supply of labour. Our internal audit results are exceptional, and we have very recently successfully completed an EAS inspection. We pride ourselves on treating everyone equally, honestly, fairly and within the letter of the law
As we work in partnership with Stronger Together, GLAA and ALP, all of our on-site facilities have Stronger Together and GLAA literature available for candidates
As part of our on-going commitment to eradicating Modern Slavery, we have implemented the following policies:
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking remains a high risk to businesses and supply chains and we are fully committed to continuously reviewing and taking the relevant steps to tackle Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.
