 North Star Enterprise Resourcing Ltd (SC543565) trading as ‘North Star’ and ‘North Star Consulting’ is committed to ensuring there is complete transparency in our business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery. This includes our supply chain, consistent with statutory disclosure obligations (Transparency in Supply Chains, S54, Modern Slavery Act 2015).    

North Star Enterprise Resourcing Ltd expects the same high standards from all our associates, affiliates, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, and other business partners.  

North Star is continually evolving our contracting processes to include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude. North Star Enterprise Resourcing Ltd expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.  

North Star's employees have an obligation to familiarise themselves with and adhere to our procedures to help in the identification and prevention of modern slavery.   Employees must conduct business in a manner such that the opportunity for and occurrence of modern slavery is prevented. Adherence to this policy forms part of all employees’ obligations under their Terms of Employment.   

North Star's  Whistleblowing Procedure is intended to provide guidance on how concerns can be communicated to the Company.  Concerns about suspected modern slavery associated with the Company or our suppliers may be reported by employees in this manner.  The Whistleblowing Procedure applies to employees and may be found in the Employee Handbook. The nature of the complaint will determine the business’ next course of action.   

Ultimate responsibility for the prevention of modern slavery rests with the company’s ownership. The Directors of the company have overall responsibility for ensuring this policy and its implementation comply with our statutory and ethical obligations.   

Whilst recognising our statutory obligation to set out the steps North Star Enterprise Resourcing Ltd have taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our supply chain, North Star Enterprise Resourcing Ltd acknowledge that we do not control the conduct of individuals and organisations in our supply chain. an answer to this item.
