Introduction

SIMON GROUP DEVELOPMENT LIMITED (SGD Payroll) is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within its business and supply chains. This statement outlines our actions to ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our ongoing commitment to ethical practices.

Our Business

SGD Payroll specialises in providing comprehensive payroll and HR services across the UK. We recognise the importance of ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. Our responsibility extends to all our business partners and suppliers to maintain high ethical standards.

Our Policies

• Anti-Slavery Policy: Our anti-slavery policy is central to our commitment to ethical business practices. It mandates zero tolerance towards modern slavery and human trafficking and outlines our procedures for identifying and addressing such issues.
• Employee Training: We provide comprehensive training to our employees to ensure they understand the risks of modern slavery and can identify and report any potential issues. This training is part of our induction process and is reinforced through regular updates and communications.
• Supplier Code of Conduct: We expect our suppliers to adhere to our code of conduct, which includes strict provisions against forced, bonded, or involuntary labour. Our suppliers are required to demonstrate their commitment to ethical practices and compliance with the Modern Slavery Act.

Due Diligence Processes

• Risk Assessment: We conduct regular risk assessments of our supply chains to identify and mitigate potential risks related to modern slavery. This involves evaluating the nature and complexity of our supply chains and identifying areas of higher risk.
• Supplier Audits: We perform regular audits of our suppliers to ensure they comply with our anti-slavery policies. These audits include on-site visits, reviews of labour practices, and checks for any indications of modern slavery or human trafficking.
• Reporting Mechanism: We have established a robust reporting mechanism that allows employees and suppliers to report any concerns related to modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously, and we take all reports seriously, conducting thorough investigations where necessary.

SGD Payroll is dedicated to continually improving our practices to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. We review and update our policies and procedures regularly to ensure their effectiveness and to address any new risks or challenges that may arise.
