Our Commitment
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, 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. Imperial Green Systems Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships.
