Modern Slavery Statement
This statement outlines the approach taken by ENGINE3 to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within its business activities and supply chains in the UK.
Our commitment
ENGINE3 is committed to conducting business responsibly and with integrity. This includes taking reasonable steps to reduce the risk of modern slavery, forced labour and exploitation in any part of the business or associated supply chains.
The nature of work involves collaboration with commercial building specialists and renewable technology providers. These relationships are approached with an expectation of ethical and lawful conduct.
Business activities
ENGINE3 focuses on providing information and facilitating enquiries relating to solar power, battery storage and energy systems for commercial and industrial sites in the UK.
The business does not operate manufacturing facilities or large-scale labour forces. However, it works with third-party providers whose operations may involve supply chains that extend beyond the immediate business.
Supply chain awareness
Where possible, efforts are made to work with established and reputable companies within the UK renewable and construction sectors. These organisations are generally expected to operate within recognised legal and ethical frameworks.
While direct control over third-party operations is limited, there is an awareness of the importance of responsible sourcing and labour practices.
Risk approach
The risk of modern slavery within the direct activities of ENGINE3 is considered to be low. However, there may be indirect risks within broader supply chains associated with construction materials, manufacturing or equipment sourcing.
Awareness of these risks informs decisions about who to work with and how enquiries are handled.
Working with partners
ENGINE3 aims to collaborate with organisations that demonstrate appropriate standards of conduct. This includes:
- Operating within UK legal frameworks
- Maintaining appropriate employment practices
- Demonstrating awareness of ethical sourcing
Where concerns arise, relationships may be reviewed or reconsidered.
Ongoing approach
This statement reflects a proportionate approach based on the size and nature of the business. As activities develop, consideration may be given to additional steps such as reviewing suppliers or updating internal practices.
The aim is to remain aware of risks and act responsibly within the context of UK commercial and energy-related work.
Responsibility
Responsibility for this statement and its implementation rests with the proprietors of ENGINE3. Oversight is informal but aligned with the overall approach to ethical and responsible business practices.
