Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement 2023/24
Introduction
This statement is made by OSY Group on behalf of the entire OSY Group of companies, noting for the purposes of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
OSY Group acknowledges the prevalence of modern slavery in the world today. OSY Group is committed to driving out acts of modern-day slavery and human trafficking within the various active industry sectors, wherever it may exist. OSY Group acknowledges its responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within the organisation and with suppliers of goods and services and all those who make up the supply chain within OSY Group.

OSY Group is committed to acting with integrity in all its dealings, relationships, and supply chains, and takes a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking. Hidden labour exploitation is unacceptable in our or any other industry.
To support this commitment, OSY Group will be developing policies, guidelines, training, monitoring and review mechanisms to inform our employees and suppliers of the values we expect to be upheld while employed or dealing with OSY Group.

OSY Group is committed to consistently improving its communication of these policies and guidelines to its staff and supply chain partners. OSY Group will ensure that the publishing of each Modern Slavery Statement is used as an opportunity to create further awareness of modern slavery and each employees’ obligations in respect of same.
OSY Group’s supply chain includes companies and/or goods from outside the EEA and UK. Imported goods from sources outside these territories are potentially more at risk of slavery and human trafficking issues.
