Nissan Trading Europe LTD (NT-E): Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This statement has been created in compliance with Section 54, Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The legislation requires all UK-based commercial organisations with an annual turnover of £36m or above, to produce a slavery and human trafficking statement setting out the steps they have taken to ensure there is no modern slavery in their supply chains or their own business. Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. fully supports this legislation and the Government’s drive to minimise the risk of slavery and human trafficking in UK supply chains.
The “Nissan Trading” brand operates on a global basis and has strategic partnerships with a number of customers and suppliers with whom we have cooperated to ensure policies are in place with an aim to remove forced labour (including child labour) from our supplier chain. The definition of “forced labour” is deliberately kept wide to encompass all definitions of “modern slavery”.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Guidelines
The Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. Corporate Social Responsibility Guidelines for suppliers include the following human rights and labour issues:
– Prevention of discrimination
– Respecting human rights
– Prohibiting child labour
– Prohibiting forced labour
– Ensuring fair and legal remuneration
– Ensuring fair and legal working hours
– Ensuring a safe and healthy working environment
We seek to engage suppliers and customers where the relationship is based on trust, respect and transparency. Through our relationships and processes, we aim to drive all suppliers to meet Nissan Trading Europe Ltd.’s high expectations and standards of business practices.
To assess our supply chain’s compliance with Corporate Social Responsibility we regularly undertake stakeholder feedback. One of the aims of this assessment is to assess how well each supplier or customer has integrated the principles of CSR into their business.
We expect suppliers and customers to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
We require suppliers and customers to comply with the applicable laws and regulations in all regions that they operate and encourage suppliers to establish and implement policies to ensure thorough company-wide compliance. Furthermore, policies forbid the use of child and/or forced labour. Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. also encourages suppliers and customers to promote Corporate Social Responsibility practices throughout their own supply chains.
Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. reserves the right to suspend work with any supplier or customer that fails to conform to the Renault-Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. Corporate Social Responsibility Guidelines. Furthermore, Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. may require any supplier to investigate any potential or actual incident of non-compliance.
We make all employees aware of our internal policies.
Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. seeks to prevent malpractice within the workplace and encourages employees with genuine concerns about any malpractice to voice these concerns to the relevant persons. The company attempts to strike a balance between safeguarding employees who raise genuine concerns about malpractice (within the business and supplier chain) and the need to protect other employees and suppliers from uninformed or malicious allegations.
The Nissan Trading Europe Ltd. Global Code of Conduct outlines the behaviours expected from employees and encourages them, as part of their duty, to report any suspected violations of the code. Annual training is conducted to ensure all employees understand the issues around the Global Code of Conduct.
Preventing Modern Slavery in Nissan Trading Europe
The Human Resources Department has in place Contracts of Employment and a Company Handbook that deals with areas such as hours of work and working conditions to protect employees from the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking.
