Modern Slavery Policy
1. Introduction
At Tomorrow, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in our business operations. In accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we present this statement outlining our efforts to prevent slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and supply chains.
Tomorrow is a full-service marketing agency specialising in digital marketing, brand strategy, and creative services. Our organisational structure includes various departments such as creative, account management, digital strategy, and media buying. We operate both nationally and internationally, engaging with a diverse range of suppliers, including creative professionals, media partners, and technology providers. Our operations span across multiple sectors, and we collaborate with suppliers globally, meaning our supply chains can be complex and extend to regions where modern slavery risks may be more prominent.
2. Our Commitment
We recognise that modern slavery is a serious global issue that can occur in various forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. We are dedicated to ensuring that our practices are free from any form of slavery or human trafficking. This commitment extends to all our employees, contractors, and suppliers.
3. Policies and Procedures
To combat modern slavery, we have implemented the following policies and procedures:
- Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy: Our comprehensive Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy reflects our commitment to preventing any form of slavery or human trafficking in our business practices. This policy outlines our zero-tolerance approach and provides a framework for ensuring compliance with relevant laws and ethical standards.
- Supplier Code of Conduct: Our suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which explicitly prohibits any form of modern slavery. We conduct regular assessments to ensure compliance.
- Employee Training: We provide training to our staff on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding our policies. This training is designed to empower our team to report any concerns without fear of retaliation.
- Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence on our supply chains to identify and mitigate risks related to modern slavery. This includes regular audits and assessments of our suppliers and partners.
- Reporting Mechanism: We have established a clear reporting mechanism for employees and stakeholders to raise concerns regarding modern slavery. We encourage transparency and will investigate all reports thoroughly.
- Risk Assessment and Management: We recognise that certain areas of our business and supply chains may be more vulnerable to exploitation. Specifically, low-wage labour sectors and overseas operations are areas where the risks of modern slavery may be higher. We continuously assess and manage these risks by monitoring supplier practices, conducting site visits, and fostering open communication with our partners to ensure compliance with our ethical standards.
- Effectiveness in Ensuring Compliance: To measure the effectiveness of our anti-slavery initiatives, we track key performance indicators such as supplier compliance rates, the number of audits conducted, and employee training completion rates. We regularly review and update our policies based on these metrics and feedback from our stakeholders.
4. Supply Chains and Risk Management
Our supply chains are diverse, including suppliers of creative services, media partners, and technology providers. We recognise that modern slavery risks can vary depending on the industry and geographical location of our suppliers. To mitigate these risks, we focus on high-risk areas, particularly those involving low-wage labour and overseas operations. We assess our supply chains regularly to identify any potential risks and take action to manage and reduce them. We also engage with suppliers to ensure they uphold the same standards of ethical conduct.
5. Training and Capacity Building
We provide training and capacity-building programs to our staff to ensure they understand modern slavery issues and can identify potential risks within our operations and supply chains. Our training includes information on the signs of modern slavery, the importance of due diligence, and how to report concerns. Additionally, we offer ongoing support to employees in understanding their role in maintaining a slavery-free environment.
6. Monitoring and Review
We will continuously monitor the effectiveness of our policies and practices to ensure they are up-to-date and effective in combating modern slavery. Our approach includes annual reviews of our operations, supplier audits, and regular risk assessments. We will review this statement annually and make any necessary amendments to reflect changes in our operations or supply chain.
7. Conclusion
Tomorrow is dedicated to playing our part in the fight against modern slavery. We will continue to promote ethical practices within our organization and among our suppliers to ensure that our operations are free from exploitation in any form.
This statement is made in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and reflects our commitment to ethical business practices.
