Modern Slavery Statement — Manandvan Chelsea
Manandvan Chelsea publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to declare our firm commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This Manandvan Chelsea modern slavery statement reflects our policies, procedures and expectations of employees, contractors and suppliers. We recognise that a clear and enforceable position is required: we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour and exploitation across our value chain.
We adopt a robust policy framework that emphasises ethical conduct, transparency and continuous improvement. Our statement on modern slavery is informed by international standards and local laws and is embedded within our corporate code of conduct. All staff receive training that highlights how to recognise risks of modern slavery, how to escalate concerns, and the organisational channels available for reporting suspected abuses.
Our Manandvan Chelsea statement on modern slavery and human trafficking commits to concrete actions: proactive risk assessment, supplier due diligence, and targeted audits. We monitor key risk indicators and integrate anti-slavery clauses within contracts. We also prioritise worker welfare, ensuring recruitment and employment processes prohibit fee-charging recruitment and restrict retention of personal documents.
Zero-tolerance policy and governance
Zero tolerance means that any confirmed instance of slavery, servitude, forced labour or human trafficking will result in immediate corrective measures, which may include termination of contracts and engagement with authorities. Our executive leadership sponsors the policy and the board receives annual reports on progress. The policy is applied to our direct operations and extends to our supply chain through contractual requirements and oversight.
We operate a supplier risk-management programme that uses a combination of self-assessment questionnaires, desktop reviews and on-site audits. The supplier audits are designed to verify compliance with labour standards, working hours, wages and health and safety provisions. Where audits identify shortcomings, we require time-bound remediation plans and follow-up assessments to ensure sustained improvement.
Our supplier engagement approach includes capacity building and support where appropriate; however, persistent non-compliance triggers escalation which can include suspension or termination of the business relationship. We expect all suppliers to conform to our code of conduct and to enable transparency by providing access to relevant records and facilities during audits.
Reporting channels and whistleblowing
We maintain multiple reporting channels to encourage early identification of issues. Employees and third parties can report concerns through confidential internal mechanisms and via an independent reporting line. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with strict confidentiality. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith. Reporting channels are publicised internally and reinforced through training programs.To support remediation, our investigations consider the welfare of affected workers first. Where necessary we collaborate with local authorities, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders to ensure victims receive appropriate protection and support. Our response aims to be victim-centred, ensuring safety and remedy while preserving access to remedies without exposing complainants to further risk.
Annual review and continuous improvement is central to our approach. We publish an annual modern slavery report that outlines findings from supplier audits, actions taken, and progress against key performance indicators. The annual review process includes stakeholder consultation, updates to risk assessments, refinement of audit scope and training enhancements. Continuous improvement activities include targeted supplier training, revision of contractual terms, and investment in systems to improve supply chain transparency.
In closing, this Manandvan Chelsea Modern Slavery Statement reaffirms our enduring obligation to eradicate modern slavery from our operations. We combine policy, governance, supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review cycle to drive measurable outcomes. We are resolute that every person working for or with Manandvan Chelsea is treated with dignity and respect.
Key elements of our programme include:
- Prevention: procurement controls, contract clauses and worker protection measures;
- Detection: supplier audits, risk assessments and confidential reporting channels;
- Response: investigation protocols, remediation and collaboration with stakeholders;
- Review: annual reporting, board oversight and continuous improvement.
We will continue to strengthen our policies, expand audit coverage and enhance training to ensure our modern slavery declaration remains effective and relevant as risks evolve. This living statement represents our commitment to accountable governance and to the eradication of modern slavery across our business and supply chains.
