Modern slavery is a crime and violation of fundamental human rights that takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, unlawful child labor, and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit the victim for personal or commercial gain.

Additionally, PlexTrac’s commitment to addressing the issue of modern slavery in our business and supply chains must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors, and business partners at the outset of any business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.
Employees and Suppliers are required to report any conduct that they reasonably believe to be a violation of this policy to PlexTrac Legal or Human Resources. Employees who fail to report actual or suspected misconduct may be deemed in violation of this policy.
The Company will not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting a concern in good faith or for cooperating with a compliance investigation, even when no evidence is found to substantiate the report.
Any violation of this policy may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. PlexTrac may terminate its relationship with any Supplier it believes is in violation of this Policy. Company has the exclusive right to interpret this policy regarding their respective employees.
