Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement – 2020

This statement is made on behalf of Forestall Risk Management Ltd pursuant to section 54(1) of the (UK) Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement.

Forestall Risk Management is registered in Ireland and has offices in Dublin, Ireland.  We are experienced practitioners, who look to work with organisations that want to meaningfully prepare for and respond to risks, related disruptions and crises.  We provide a range of services to support our client’s organisations in communicating about risks, in particular those risks that may harm or stop their organisations getting to where they need to go.

Our Approach

Although the likelihood of an incidence of modern slavery in our business or our supply chains is low, we work to the highest ethical and professional standards and value transparency and accountability in all our dealings. We have a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and expect the same high standards from those we work with.

We have put in place a Modern Slavery Policy which is supported by other internal policies and HR processes such as our Whistleblowing Policy and Disciplinary Rules and Procedure.

Responsibility

Directors are ultimately responsible for compliance internally and in our supplier relationships.

Supplier Due Diligence

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business.

We have a Supplier Management Policy with supporting templates and procedures to meet our continuing efforts to ensure no supplier we work with falls short of our expected standards. Our new Policy outlines roles and responsibilities of those involved in Supplier Due Diligence and provides guidance on what good looks like for our business and the community that supports it. Our new centralised log captures various supplier details for regulatory and legislative compliance, including if our business partners maintain a statement of their own. Our log will continually be developed as we systematically review existing trading relationships, building on the work started in previous years. We will continue to ensure any new relationships engaged complete the required new due diligence levels we have introduced, meeting the high standards we hold ourselves to.

Any supplier that should adhere to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 but falls short of evidencing the requirements of the Act will be reviewed on a per case basis. Where compliance to the Act cannot be verified through our due diligence checks, and the supplier has advised a statement will not be made available, a new supplier(s) will be identified.
