Introduction
We are committed to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking.
This statement is made in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act and sets out the steps we take to identify, address and prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain.
Structure of our Organisation
Blakeney Group is a leading independent corporate communications consultancy, based in London. We work with leading global brands to tackle complex communications challenges.
Our services include research, communications strategy, capability development and delivery of communications services across media, digital, social, design and production.
Blakeney is a company registered in England with company number 10360854. Blakeney Group’s supply chains mainly include production companies, media agencies, software companies, I.T. and other office equipment, professional services, office cleaning and other office facilities services.
Our Policies
Blakeney is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place.
We actively review our HR policies and procedures to ensure that we comply with all applicable laws and protect the rights and freedoms of all those working on our operations. Our employment policies address issues such as working hours, working conditions, whistle blowing, discrimination, health and safety in the workplace, holiday and sick pay and the protection of personal data.
Risk Assessment
We do not operate in a high-risk industry nor a high-risk jurisdiction and Blakeney has a very low risk of any modern slavery in our own operations. However, we recognise that we have a low risk through our use of third-party suppliers, and we have therefore focused our attention on minimising the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain.
Due Diligence
We will work with many independent contractors and a wide range of suppliers of services. It is our intention to only contract with producers and suppliers who can satisfy our standards with regards to labour and welfare conditions or have a commitment to achieve these standards.
Suppliers are only engaged when we are satisfied that safeguards and protocols are in place to prevent any modern slavery or human trafficking from taking place in their own operations or supply chain.
We monitor our suppliers on an ongoing basis and will end our relationship with any suppliers who we believe may be involved in modern slavery or human trafficking.
Conclusion
The Blakeney Group is committed to an ongoing review of its policies, procedures and contracting practices in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking and any changes will be reflected in future annual statements.
