13. Modern Slavery Policy 

Purpose of the policy - This policy affirms our commitment to contribute to ending all forms of modern slavery and outlines our approach to reducing the risk of modern slavery practices within our supply chains and operations. It is consistent with our Ethical Framework, that expects a culture of high ethical standards, including compliance with applicable laws, contractual and other obligations. It is also consistent with the Fundamental Principles and broader Movement policies. As a result, this Modern Slavery Policy is part of the Ethical Framework. This Policy also supports the intent of international conventions, treaties and protocols relevant to combatting modern slavery and the Modern Slavery Act (Cth) 20181 .

What is modern slavery -  Modern slavery is defined by the Modern Slavery Act (Cth) 20184 to include eight types of serious exploitation and which can be understood as: 

trafficking in persons, which is the recruitment, harbouring and movement of a person for the purposes of exploitation through modern slavery. Exploitation also includes the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs;

slavery, which is where the offender exercises powers of ownership over the victim;
servitude which is where the victim’s personal freedom is significantly restricted and they are not free to stop working or leave their place of work;

forced labour, which is where the victim is either not free to stop working or not free to leave their place of work;

forced marriage, which is where coercion, threats or deception are used to make a victim marry or where the victim does not understand or is incapable of understanding the nature and effect of the marriage ceremony;

debt bondage, which is where the victim’s services are pledged as security for a debt and the debt is manifestly excessive or the victim’s services are not applied to liquidate the debt, or the length and nature of the services are not limited and defined;

the worst forms of child labour, which involves situations where children are: exploited through slavery or similar practices, including for sexual exploitation; or engaged in hazardous work which may harm their health or safety, or used to produce or traffic drugs; and

deceptive recruiting for labour or services which is where the victim is deceived about whether they will be exploited through a type of modern slavery.

It can also extend to:
​
entering into a commercial transaction involving a slave;
exercising control or direction over, or providing finance for, any commercial transaction involving a slave or act of slave trading;
conducting a business involving servitude or forced labour (including exercising control over the business or providing finance to it)

Approach to limiting the risk of modern slavery practices FortyFour Projects will work proactively to reduce modern slavery within our suppliers and operations and we expect all organisations we engage with to do the same.

13.1 Supply Chain FortyFour Projects Supplier Code of Conduct - We expect all existing and new Suppliers to comply with the principles set out Modern Slavery Act (Cth) 20184. Fundamental to all  Suppliers their is an expectation that all Suppliers operate in full compliance with the laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where the goods are sourced, procured or services are performed. Suppliers must use best endeavours to ensure that there is no modern slavery in their supply chains and operations. In the event Suppliers identify any occurrence of, or material risk of modern slavery in their supply chains or operations they are to take practical and effective steps to address that occurrence or risk. Suppliers must notify FortyFour Projects as soon as practicable of any occurrence of, or material risk of modern slavery they have identified and notify relevant authorities where appropriate. Our Supplier obligations include compliance with Australian modern slavery laws and those foreign modern slavery laws that apply in the location(s) in which they operate. Supply chain mapping and risk assessment. We encourage our suppliers to provide their Corporate Social Responsibility policy which contains answers relevant to modern slavery. We will actively and progressively improve our understanding and oversight of all tiers of our supply chains. 

13.2 Reporting unethical or unlawful conduct A key part of supporting ethical standards is enabling FortyFour Projects and Other People (including Suppliers and Partners) to feel free and safe to speak up when there are reasonable grounds to suspect that FortyFour Projects or their People are not acting ethically or in accordance with laws and obligations. Concerns about compliance or ethical issues or illegal or unethical activities are to be reported FortyFour Projects immediately via email or phone.

13.3 Responding to concerns of modern slavery practices The often hidden nature of modern slavery practices means it can be difficult to identify and can be difficult for people to report. It is important to respond in a way that is safe, ethical and respects the dignity and rights of the person at risk or affected by modern slavery practices. In Australia, the Australian Federal Police is responsible for investigating suspected cases of modern slavery and can be contacted on 131 237 to discuss or report a suspected case. Contact can be made anonymously. In an emergency and if someone is in immediate danger, please call Triple Zero (000) for police assistance.
