Terms, Conditions, Cookies & Privacy Policy
As a construction company, SNC Group Ltd is committed to eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking from our business and supply chains, including subcontractors and partners.
The Company recognises its responsibilities to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensures transparency within the organisation and with suppliers of goods and services to the organisation.
As part of the company’s due diligence on slavery and human trafficking, the supplier approval process will include a review of the controls implemented by the supplier.
The level of management control required for these sources will be continually monitored.
SNC Group will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking.
The directors and officers of the Company accept responsibility for the implementation of this policy statement and its objectives.
They also provide adequate resources (training, etc.) and investment to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not occur within the company and its supply chains.
A full copy of this policy and a copy of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 will be accessible to all employees electronically and can be obtained from the HR department upon request.
Privacy Policy Revision
This policy statement shall be reviewed annually and published.
Also, this Policy takes into account, and supports, the policies, procedures and requirements documented in our Integrated Management System, compliant with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007.
The implementation and operation of this management system underline our commitment to this policy.
Formal procedures concerning slavery and human trafficking have been established, including disciplinary procedures where they are breached.
Additional procedures ensure that this policy is understood and communicated at all levels of the Company and that it is regularly reviewed by the Directors to ensure its continued suitability and relevance to the Company’s activities.
Recruitment procedures
When a new employee is required, we will consult with the HR department.
A request to recruit form is then completed. Our managing director will then contact an agency in the first instance.
The job description will be sent to them for their advertisement on their website.
We will ensure that the agency has a recruitment policy and will check all documentation before employment.
Once a candidate has been selected, an interview will be arranged.
Again, at this stage, all documentation will be checked before an offer letter is sent out.
