Tomson Consulting modern slavery and human trafficking statement 2024 to 2025

Here are the steps Tomson Consulting has taken and continues to take to understand and minimise the potential risk of modern slavery in its business and supply chains.

This statement is published in line with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

About Tomson Consulting

Tomson Consulting provides bespoke environmental consultancy services to a range of public and private sector clients. We support good relationships between employers and employees which underpin business success. When things go wrong we help by providing conciliation to resolve workplace problems.

Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Tomson Consulting 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're committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

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. We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

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, mainly through UK government frameworks. The UK SBS (our shared services provider) has also published its statement on slavery and human trafficking. This includes mechanisms for guarding against modern slavery in its clients' supply chains.

Embedding the principles

We will continue to embed the principles through:

  • Providing awareness training to staff on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and informing them of the appropriate action to take if they suspect a case of slavery or human trafficking
  • Ensuring staff involved in procurement activity are aware of and follow modern slavery procurement guidance on GOV.UK
  • Ensuring that consideration of the modern slavery risks and prevention are added to Tomson Consulting's policy review process as an employer and procurer of goods and services
  • Continuing to take action to embed a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery
  • Ensuring that staff involved in buying or procurement and the recruitment and deployment of workers receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices

Effective Date:

This policy is effective as of 6/3/2024.

By adhering to this policy, Tomson Consulting Ltd reaffirms our commitment to ethical business practices and the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, and we strive to contribute to the global efforts to combat financial crime.
