Human Rights & Modern Day Slavery Policy

Effective Date: 01/01/2025 

At Caspian One, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and human rights across all aspects of our business operations. Our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) underpins our actions, ensuring that every individual - whether employee, contractor, or stakeholder - can operate in an environment built on respect, fairness, and dignity.

As a technology capabilities provider and consultancy, we recognise the responsibility we bear in preventing and mitigating the risks of modern-day slavery and human trafficking within our sphere of influence. Through leadership, collaboration, and transparency, we aim to foster a culture of vigilance and accountability, ensuring our operations reflect the values we uphold.

Caspian One remains unwavering in its commitment to eliminating modern-day slavery. We believe that, by aligning our policies and practices with our EDI principles, we can contribute to a world where every individual is empowered to thrive.

    • Policy Adherence: Caspian One strictly adheres to a comprehensive Modern Day Slavery Policy, ensuring ethical practices across our organisation and supply chain. Leadership at every level is accountable for modelling and reinforcing these standards 
       

    • Supply Chain Oversight: We conduct thorough due diligence and regular assessments of our supply chain to identify and address risks related to modern-day slavery. We engage only with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to ethical labour practices and inclusivity 
       

    • Employee Training and Awareness: ongoing training empowers employees and contractors to recognise the signs of modern-day slavery and report concerns promptly. This training reinforces our commitment to creating a culture of psychological safety and inclusion, where individuals feel supported and responsible for upholding ethical practices 
       

    • Reporting Mechanisms: Caspian One encourages employees, contractors, and stakeholders to report suspicions or concerns through confidential reporting mechanisms. These mechanisms are designed to protect whistleblowers and foster trust, accountability, and transparency 
       

    • Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and refine our policies and procedures to stay ahead of emerging risks and industry best practices. Our approach is informed by stakeholder feedback, legal requirements, and our EDI principles 
       

    • Transparency: We communicate openly about our efforts to combat modern-day slavery. This includes publishing an annual Modern Slavery Statement, updating stakeholders on our progress, and fostering trust through accountability 
       

    • Collaboration with Industry Partners: We actively collaborate with industry partners, organisations, and initiatives to strengthen collective efforts against modern-day slavery. By prioritising inclusivity in these collaborations, we ensure the solutions we contribute to reflect diverse perspectives 

    • Supply Chain Monitoring: Conduct risk assessments of suppliers, focusing on industries or regions with heightened modern slavery risks. Include clauses in supplier agreements requiring compliance with anti-slavery and human rights standards 

    • Training and Awareness: Provide regular training on recognising and addressing modern slavery risks. Incorporate EDI principles into training, emphasizing the connection between inclusion and ethical practices 

    • Confidential Reporting Channels: Ensure employees and contractors can report concerns anonymously or through a whistleblowing channel. Promote these channels as part of fostering a psychologically safe and inclusive workplace 

    • Ongoing Assessment: Perform regular audits to ensure compliance across operations and supply chains 

  • Caspian One is committed to creating a culture of openness, accountability, and trust. We encourage all staff to raise concerns about suspected wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. 

    Whistleblowing includes reporting concerns about: 

    • Modern-day slavery or human trafficking 

    • Bribery or corruption 

    • Health and safety risks 

    • Fraud or other criminal activity 

    Whistleblowers who raise genuine concerns will be protected and supported, even if their concerns are mistaken. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited and subject to disciplinary action. 

  • Caspian One takes a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. Ethical conduct is central to our operations, and we expect the same from all individuals and partners acting on our behalf. 

    All forms of bribery are strictly prohibited, including offering, giving, or accepting improper payments, gifts, or incentives. We emphasize transparency in all transactions and require all hospitality or gifts to be reported to the Financial Director. 

  • Our efforts to combat modern-day slavery are guided by our commitment to transparency and ethical responsibility. We align these efforts with our EDI principles, ensuring they reflect our dedication to fostering inclusion, respect, and dignity for all. 

    Through vigilance, collaboration, and ethical practices, Caspian One aims to eradicate modern-day slavery and set a standard for integrity across our industry.
