Modern Slavery Policy

At East Coast Lubes (ECL), our commitment to respect human rights is embedded in this Modern Slavery Policy. We will respect human rights in all our operations and business dealings.

ECL takes a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our business dealings and relationships

Modern Slavery Policy

Slavery, servitude, child labour, forced labour, human trafficking, and any related exploitation (together, “modern slavery”) will not be tolerated by ECL.

This policy is designed to ensure that ECL complies with the applicable laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate and with relevant international standards, including the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 and the FAIR Work Act 2009.

We conduct due diligence to identify and assess the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chain, and remediate it, where required. We review and re-assess our approach on a regular basis.

Top management has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations and that ECL staff and others under our control comply with it.

We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, preferred suppliers, and other business partners. ECL only deals with reputable companies.

All employees, preferred suppliers and business partners must:

a) read and understand this policy.

b) undertake necessary training, where / if relevant.

c) avoid any activity that might lead to, or constitute modern slavery; and

d) raise any concerns and report any actual or suspected modern slavery to the appropriate manager or authority.

Any suspected breach of this policy will be investigated, and any person found to be in breach may face disciplinary action.

This policy is not part of any employee's employment contract, and we reserve the right to change it at any time.

This Policy is available to external parties on request and is on our internal intranet for employees.

ECL adheres to all legal and other requirements in its recruitment of staff, and requires its business partners to adhere to labour, health, safety, and employment laws in the countries in which they operate.
