Our Commitment to the Principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Xynomix is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.

As an equal opportunities employer, we are committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our employees. 

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.

Our Supply Chain

Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.

Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and overseas suppliers.

Embedding the Principles

We will embed the principles through:

• Raising awareness of modern slavery by reviewing and evaluating the measures and processes implemented so far to ensure their effectiveness.

• Working with our suppliers to identify any additional measures we can take as a business to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.

• Training relevant staff in how to recognise and respond appropriately to potential signs of slavery.

Related Policies

The following policies are available to all staff via our internal HR portal:

• Employee Handbook

In addition to these policies, we have a Recruitment and New Starter Onboarding process, which incorporates checking the Right to Work in the UK.
