At Kingpin Security, we are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking within our operations or supply chain. As a company specializing in private security services both in the United Kingdom and overseas, we recognize our responsibility to uphold human rights and maintain ethical practices. This statement outlines our efforts in accordance with the requirements of Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our Organisation
Kingpin Security provides high-quality security services, including personal protection, event security, and corporate security solutions. Our operations span across the UK and extend globally, necessitating a vigilant approach to modern slavery risks that might exist within our business activities and supply chains.
Our Policies
- Zero Tolerance: We have a zero-tolerance approach towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes any form of forced or compulsory labor, child labor, or human trafficking in any part of our operations.
- Supplier Code of Conduct: We expect all our suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which explicitly prohibits modern slavery. Our procurement policies include clauses that require suppliers to adhere to these standards, and we reserve the right to terminate contracts with any supplier found to be in breach.
Due Diligence Processes
- Risk Assessment: We conduct regular risk assessments to identify areas where there might be higher risks of modern slavery, especially in regions or sectors known for vulnerabilities.
- Supplier Audits: We undertake due diligence on new suppliers and regular audits on existing ones to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery policies. This includes reviewing their labor practices, working conditions, and supply chain transparency.
- Employee Training: Employees at Kingpin Security are trained to understand the indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training is part of our onboarding process and is reinforced through regular awareness campaigns.
Monitoring and Compliance
- Contractual Commitments: Our contracts with suppliers include obligations regarding compliance with anti-slavery laws. Non-compliance leads to immediate remedial actions or, if necessary, termination of the relationship.
- Whistleblowing: We have established a confidential whistleblowing policy that encourages employees and contractors to report any suspicions or instances of modern slavery without fear of retaliation.
- Performance Indicators: We have set key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures, including the number of training sessions conducted and the outcomes of supplier audits.
Our Commitment
Kingpin Security is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. We will review our policies and practices annually to ensure they remain effective and are aligned with best practices and legal requirements. We also engage with external stakeholders to enhance our understanding and response to modern slavery risks.
