Ensinger is committed to acting in a responsible and ethical manner. We have a zero tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking ("Modern slavery").
Modern slavery is a crime and violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slaver, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
Ensinger's prohibition on modern slavery applies to all person's working for the Group or on its behalf in any capacity. The company will promptly and thoroughly investigate any claim or indication that a supplier is engaging directly or indirectly with human trafficking or slavery.
If a supplier is found in violation of this or any other policy or principle within Ensinger's code of conduct, Ensinger will take remedial measures to address the violation.
