At L'eto Clinic, we are committed to improving our practices to combat modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations. We are relentless in our pursuit of delivering quality and excellent care to our patients, using our professional expertise with integrity and aligning our actions to the highest standards of business conduct and ethical practices.
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. This Policy underlines our commitment and actions to ensuring modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in and around our organisation.
This Policy is made on behalf of L'eto Clinic pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking Policy.
L'eto Clinic's supply chain consists of over one hundred and fifty suppliers, the majority of whom are primarily based in the UK. Our suppliers include:
Our Anti-Slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, and implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to prevent slavery and human trafficking practices in our supply chains.
To help identify any potential risks within our supply chains (including in respect of new suppliers and commercial arrangements), we undertake a due diligence assessment taking into consideration the following factors:
In the event that any supplier or commercial arrangement is considered to be a potential risk, we will undertake further due diligence until we are satisfied that we have achieved compliance with the law and ethical practices.
For all new suppliers or business partners, we will not engage their services unless they share our values demonstrated in this Policy. Should any supplier fail to meet these standards, we will offer to help them identify the steps they will need to take to comply.
We are advising suppliers that we are adopting a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking, and should any supplier or business partner not comply with L'eto Clinic's approach, or be prepared to sign our Code of Conduct, we will cease to trade with their company until they have provided us with adequate reassurance of compliance.
We have also put in place systems, procedures, and best practices to help combat anti-ethical practices and modern slavery within our supply chains and general business operations. For example, we:
We also have a dedicated compliance team which is responsible for ensuring that we comply with the principles and commitments set out in this Policy. Our compliance team consists of a Compliance Manager and a number of Compliance Facilitators, and they are supported by our Director of Business Operations and external professional advisors to ensure we act in accordance with the law.
Oversight of our approach is governed by a quarterly policy review board, chaired by the CEO and Founder of L'eto Clinic.
Our effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and supply chain is measured by reference to the number of reports received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.
This Policy is made pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking policy, reviewed by our Business Operations Director.
