Our suppliers:

We expect all of our suppliers to operate in a responsible, ethical, open and transparent way and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The majority of items purchased by FSE C.I.C relate to items that would be used in the office environment. e.g. office supplies and technological equipment. Therefore, our supply chains are relatively simple, and we believe that there is limited risk of slavery or human trafficking taking place. All of our major suppliers are head quartered in low-risk countries.
Our Staff:
Our Staff are predominantly made up of professionally qualified and skilled individuals and we consider the risk of modern slavery occurring within our business to be low. All new employees go through induction training and are signposted to our employee handbook which includes our Equal Opportunities Policy. This policy makes it clear we oppose all forms of direct and indirect discrimination.
Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed regularly by FSE C.I.C’s Management Risk Committee and is approved by the CEO Paul Marston. As required by the Modern Slavery Act 2015, this statement describes the steps which FSE C.I.C. takes to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or in any of our supply chains.
