At Smartbox, we believe in conducting our business ethically, transparently, and with respect for human rights. Modern slavery, which includes human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and child labour, is a hidden crime that affects millions of people worldwide, including in the UK and EU. It is our responsibility to remain vigilant and act to prevent it wherever it may occur. 

This training will help you understand what modern slavery is, how it can appear in supply chains, operations, and community interactions, and why awareness is essential for everyone at Smartbox. You will learn about the legal frameworks, including the UK Modern Slavery Act and relevant EU legislation, and how Smartbox’s policies and due diligence processes help protect vulnerable people. 

Through practical examples, Smartbox-specific case studies, and clear guidance on spotting warning signs, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to act if you suspect modern slavery. By the end, you will be equipped to recognise risks, respond appropriately, and contribute to Smartbox’s ongoing commitment to ethical, responsible business.
