INTRODUCTION

This document describes GAVS’s (referred to as “Company”) Policy for prohibiting Slavery and Human Trafficking.

Company has a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery and we are committed to act ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners.

We expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

This document outlines the data privacy protection policy of the organization GAVS. It describes in detail how GAVS collects, processes, and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information. While GAVS had always been diligent in protecting corporate and personal data, this policy is an amendment to the existing protection in light of the GDPR and DPDP compliance’s requirements. This policy is also amended to bring better readability and clarity, in order to prevent any ambiguity in terms of its content and/or intentions.

LEGISLATION

As per section 54 (1) the (UK) Modern Slavery Act 2015 all bodies corporate and partnerships who (irrespective of where they are incorporated) (a) carry on a business, or part of a business, in the UK supplying goods or services, and (b) have a consolidated global turnover of above £36 million (or Euro equivalent) per annum, are required to prepare and publish an annual “Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement”.

This statement sets out the measures taken by the company to ensure that slavery or human trafficking is not taking place in any of its Employees, Contractors, Partners, Clients and Suppliers or within itself during its financial year.

Modern slavery

“Modern slavery” refers to the offences of human trafficking, slavery, servitude, and forced or compulsory labor. This can then be considered under five headings:

“Human trafficking” is a global crime that trades in people and exploits them for profit.

“Human trafficking” is defined in the UN Trafficking in Persons Protocol, which supplements the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, as “the recruitment, transport, transfer, harboring or receipt of a person by such means as threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud or deception for the purpose of exploitation”. Although human trafficking often involves an international cross-border element, it is also possible to be a victim of modern slavery within your own country. There are several broad categories of exploitation linked to human trafficking, including sexual exploitation, forced labor, domestic servitude, organ harvesting, child
related crimes, forced marriage and illegal adoption.

TRAINING AND EDUCATION

We want to help our Employees, Contractors, Partners, Clients and Suppliers to understand more about these issues and understand how to report any concerns they may have related to Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

We flag each update of this Statement and of the associated Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy to all the Employees and Contractors.

PROCESSES FOR PREVENTING AND REPORTING SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

All Employees and Directors within the Company have a statutory obligation to report knowledge of Slavery or Human Trafficking. Any genuine information of Slavery or Human Trafficking is to be immediately reported to the Management, who will decide what further action, if any, as deemed necessary.

Employees and Contractors who raise concerns of Slavery or Human Trafficking in good faith may do so without fear of discrimination or reprisal.

These provisions do not replace any legal reporting or disclosure requirements. Where statutory reporting requirements and procedures exist, these must be fully complied with.

Our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy also includes contact details for the following:
