Introduction

It continues to be a priority for Combined Selection Group Ltd to ensure that we trade ethically, source responsibly and work to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our organisation and in our supply chain.

Combined Selection Group Ltd are committed to ensuring that its employees and any workers it supplies (directly or indirectly) are not subject to behaviour or threats that may amount to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and or similar human rights abuses. We are also committed to ensuring our approach to tackling modern slavery in our own business and throughout our supply chains is consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

This commitment is evident through our company policies and procedures, which aim to uphold the highest ethical and professional standards. As an organisation we aim to ensure adherence to our policy commitments and compliance with current Government legislation and regulations.  

Organisational Structure and Operation

Combined Selection Group Ltd is a global talent recruitment company that specialises in providing executive and specialist candidates within the natural resources, health sciences, technology, building infrastructure, consumer and Industrial & engineering sectors.  

Combined Selection Group Ltd’s supply chains are limited to those individuals and organisations which provide us with the goods and services needed to operate our business, such as

• Information technology suppliers providing equipment such as computers, laptops, mobile phones, software and support.
• Facilities management such as cleaning and security services.
• Company vehicles.
• Marketing services.
• Benefit Suppliers.
• Suppliers of materials such as stationery and office equipment.  

The majority of our suppliers are based in the UK. For the minority of our suppliers that are outside the UK, if modern slavery is identified or suspected, then the response will be tailored to the local circumstances, including engaging with local government, law enforcement, non-governmental organisations, industry bodies or trade unions.

Our Policies

Our Modern Slavery Policy, along with our Anti-Bribery and Whistle-blowing policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

In addition to these policies and in order to assess the risk of modern slavery, we use the following processes:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas when considering taking on new suppliers and regularly review our existing supply chains.
• Review the potential for risk at regular intervals, including the possibility of re-auditing a supplier or conducting spot checks.
• Protect whistle blowers.

These policies and procedures encourage staff to report any wrongdoing, which extends to human rights violations such as modern slavery. All reports will be fully investigated and appropriate remedial actions shall be taken.

To maintain awareness and ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business our Modern Slavery Policy is included in our Employee Handbook.

Effectiveness in Combatting Slavery and Human Trafficking

Combined Selection Group Ltd’s keeps its policies and processes under frequent review to ensure compliance with the law and best practices.

After due consideration, we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our supply chain to date. However, we continue to be alert to the potential for problems.
