Policy Statement

Dampsafe Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chain.

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. Dampsafe Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships.

Although Dampsafe Ltd is not legally required to publish a Modern Slavery Statement under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 due to company size, we recognise the importance of ensuring that modern slavery does not occur within our operations or supply chain.
