Modern Slavery Policy
Ashfield Projects (Yorkshire) Ltd (The Company) recognises that slavery and human trafficking remains a hidden blight on our global society. The aim of the Company is to identify our responsibility by alerting staff to the risks, however small, in our business and in the wider supply chain. Staff are expected and encouraged to report concerns to management, where they are expected to act upon them.
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern day slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business.
​
