Modern Slavery Statement
Statement under Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 for Lenus Health Ltd for the financial year ending 31 March 2024
Introduction
Modern slavery is a grievous infringement of fundamental human rights, manifesting in various forms such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking. These practices share the common characteristic of depriving individuals of their freedom by others to exploit them for personal or commercial advantage.
Lenus Health Ltd adopts a zero-tolerance stance towards modern slavery. We are committed to conducting our business dealings and relationships ethically and with integrity, and to establishing and enforcing effective procedures to ensure that modern slavery does not occur within our business or any of our supply chains.
Organisational Structure
Lenus Health Ltd is a limited company registered in Scotland SC652563, located at 43 Constitution Street, Edinburgh, EH6 7BG. As a health technology company, we provide innovative solutions designed to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare processes, serving both private and public sector clients.
Policies
As part of our commitment to combating modern slavery, we have implemented the following policies and procedures:
- Modern Slavery Policy
- Whistleblowing Policy
- Grievance Policy
- Anti-Money Laundering / Know Your Customer Policy
- Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Policy
We ensure our suppliers are informed of our policies and expectations, demanding adherence to similarly high standards.
Supply Chain Due Diligence
To monitor and mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains, Lenus Health Ltd has instituted the following due diligence processes:
- Incorporation of standard contractual clauses requiring suppliers' compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Conducting periodic audits of selected suppliers to verify compliance.
Our due diligence measures aim to:
- Identify and assess potential risk areas in our business and supply chains.
- Monitor potential risk areas in our business and supply chains.
- Minimize the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains.
- Provide adequate protection for whistleblowers.
Risk and Compliance
Lenus Health Ltd does not view itself as operating in a high-risk sector, given the nature of our services and the geographical location and composition of our suppliers, although we understand that we operate in a regulated industry sector.
We ensure all our suppliers adhere to our modern slavery policy and enforce a strict compliance code. We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains. Any evidence of non-compliance with our policies, particularly those incorporating anti-slavery measures, will prompt us to immediately seek to terminate our relationship with the involved supplier.
