The Reservationscentre feels proud of its commitment to responsible operation and maintaining the highest levels of ethics in all areas of business. We thoroughly detest the problems of modern-day slavery and human trafficking as we consider this to be a bane and gross violation of human rights. We genuinely believe that every human being is entitled to respect and dignity. We commit to actively preventing such societal crimes across our businesses and supply networks. As responsible travel agents and alert corporate members, we are committed to bringing this practice to an end across all our operations. This statement details the steps we have undertaken in order to avoid modern slavery and human trafficking in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and equivalent legislation around the world.
The board of directors is ultimately responsible for ensuring that this policy is followed by all persons under its control. Management at all levels is responsible for ensuring that those reporting to them understand and follow the policy.
We have a diverse range of individuals and are committed to treating all the employees with respect and fairness. We follow our principles very strictly:
Any employee who knowingly and intentionally breaches this policy is to be considered as one committing serious misconduct and thus is liable for disciplinary actions which may include dismissal on grounds of gross misconduct. If a supplier is determined clearly to breach this policy, the Group will sever agreement until they are in conformity. Any serious breach can be notified to the relevant law enforcing authorities. Up to now, no group's company has reported evidence of contravention of the Modern Slavery Act. The board considers that the nature of the firm makes such incidences highly unlikely.
We hope to reduce the risks of modern slavery by creating strong regulations, doing comprehensive due diligence, and raising awareness among our staff and partners. We believe that by being transparent and accountable, we can contribute to a more ethical travel industry while also ensuring that all individuals involved in our business are treated with dignity.
