At UK Energy Bureau, we provide business energy comparison solutions to a variety of businesses using the expertise of our energy consultants. Our commitment is to prioritise people, including our staff and suppliers, at the core of our operations. Ensuring their well-being and striving for optimal outcomes for everyone is integral to our purpose, strategy, and operations. It is this principle that drives our commitment to adhere to the Modern Slavery Act.
Understanding the Modern Slavery Act 2015
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) aims to address the responsibility of businesses in preventing modern slavery within their operations and supply chains. It mandates businesses to publish a statement outlining the measures taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within their business activities and supply networks.
This page outlines the measures we have taken and will persist in implementing as part of our dedication to preventing slavery and human trafficking from infiltrating our business operations and supply chains.
