Modern Slavery Statement
At Digital Design Partners (DDP), we are committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking play no part in our business operations or supply chains. As a small to medium enterprise (SME), we recognise that our size does not diminish our responsibility to act ethically and uphold human rights. We are dedicated to identifying, preventing, and addressing any risks of modern slavery within our organisation and across our business relationships.
Our Commitment
Modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation, is a violation of fundamental human rights. DDP opposes all forms of modern slavery and commits to taking active steps to ensure that our practices and supply chains are free from exploitation. Our key commitments include:
Ethical Business Practices: We maintain the highest standards of integrity in all our business dealings, ensuring that all individuals involved in our operations are treated with respect, fairness, and dignity.
Supplier Engagement and Due Diligence: We expect our suppliers, contractors, and business partners to share our commitment to combatting modern slavery. We engage in due diligence processes to assess and monitor our supply chains, with a focus on identifying and mitigating any risks of forced or exploitative labour. Where issues are identified, we take corrective action, which may include terminating supplier relationships if necessary.
Policies and Training: As part of our commitment to ethical business, we have established policies that reflect our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We ensure that our employees, contractors, and suppliers are aware of our policies and are equipped with the knowledge needed to identify and report any suspected modern slavery practices.
Risk Assessment: Although we are an SME, we recognise that modern slavery risks may exist in sectors or geographies that we operate in or source from. We assess the risks within our supply chains and take steps to mitigate potential vulnerabilities, particularly in high-risk industries or regions.
Transparency and Reporting: We encourage open communication and provide mechanisms for staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to confidentially report any concerns related to modern slavery. We are committed to maintaining transparency in our actions and will address any concerns swiftly and thoroughly.
Ongoing Commitment to Improvement
As an SME, we are constantly learning and evolving our practices to better identify and prevent modern slavery. We will continue to review and refine our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships to ensure we uphold our ethical commitments. Additionally, we will stay informed of emerging risks and best practices in the fight against modern slavery, ensuring that we remain proactive and responsible.Our Environmental Management and Sustainability Policy provides more detail about how we achieve this.
