Modern Slavery Act 2015 Statement Policy
Modern Slavery Statement
​
Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires that commercial companies produce a supply chain transparency statement annually.
​
E3 Energy Limited are not a relevant commercial organisation as defined by section 54 ("Transparency in supply chains etc.") of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 ("the Act") as it does not have a turnover of over £36 million – section 54 is not applicable.
​
However, E3 Energy Limited do continually practice being ethical and demonstrate good employment practices. We have therefore developed our procurement processes to ensure that suppliers are aware of, and actively monitor and review, their responsibilities around eradicating modern slavery.
​
This statement sets out the actions that E3 Energy Limited has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour.
​
E3 Energy Limited has a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.

​
c. Employees are made aware of their employment benefits in both their employment contracts and in internal communications.
​

​
2. Consultants
​
a. Where appropriate, we include provisions in consultancy agreements and appointments confirming that consultants (in the case of individual consultants) and their employees (in the case of corporate consultants) are both eligible to work in the United Kingdom and comply with the terms of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 if applicable under section 54 of the Act.
​
3. Agency workers
​
