Modern Slavery Policy

This policy is designed to satisfy the requirements of Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, by informing our employees, suppliers, other third-party partners and customers about 78 Media and its Statement with respect to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced and bonded labour and labour rights violations in its supply chains.

75 Media is committed to driving out acts of modern-day slavery and human trafficking within its business and from within its supply chains, including sub-contractors, and partners. Although, as a business, 75 Media turns over far less than the threshold for businesses required to publish a statement under the Act, the Company upholds the spirit and intentions of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. 

75 Media is committed to ensure that:

1. Employment is freely chosen;

2. Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are respected;

3. Working conditions are safe and hygienic;

4. Child labour shall not be used;

5. Living wages are paid;

6. Working hours are not excessive;

7. No discrimination is practised;

8. Regular employment is provided; and

9. No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed.

Training

We enrol our employees in e-learning training. This online Modern Slavery Training course aims to educate users on identifying signs of modern-day slavery and to give confidence to people to speak up about it. It provides the knowledge on how to report, acknowledge and how to handle modern slavery in and around the workplace. Alongside this, it touches upon the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
