Anti-Slavery
Modern Slavery Statement
This statement outlines our actions and activities regarding efforts to combat slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chain, and is produced to comply with the Modern Slavery Act. JM Solar ( “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), publicly acknowledged its commitment to operate its business in a manner consistent with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Global Compact since 2007 when it first published its Human Rights Policy Statement, a commitment which we continue. This is reflective of the Company’s core values, culture of ethical business practices and commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Policies
JM Solar has in place business principles to help eliminate the potential use of Company owned and managed properties for slavery and human trafficking. JM Solar’s Business Principles represent the core of our business philosophy requiring our employees to act both ethically and legally when dealing with fellow employees and third parties with whom we do business. As mentioned above, we also abide by our Human Rights Policy Statement, reflecting our commitment to protect human rights within our sphere of influence. We also expect our suppliers to act in a compliant and ethical manner, and as such, we ask our suppliers to meet the criteria established in our Supplier Code of Conduct, which, among other things, sets forth our expectations of our suppliers with respect to forced labor and child hiring practices. Although we do not own or operate franchised hotels, our franchisees agree to comply with all laws that apply to their hotels, which includes all anti-trafficking laws.
Training
The Company requires employees to attend training on its Business Principles. Compliance with this training requirement is monitored. In addition, JM Solar has introduced training to our employees relating to slavery and human trafficking. Moreover, our new hire orientation includes education about Corporate Social Responsibility and our Human Rights program. In addition, we make a reasonable effort to positively influence parties over which we do not have operational control. In that respect, we make available training and education about child labor and human trafficking to our independently owned and controlled franchisees through webinars, seminars at our global hotel conferences and online portals, and provide educational materials to our approved suppliers on slavery and human trafficking.
Risk Management
JM Solar also has in place processes to help eliminate the potential use of the Company’s owned and managed properties for slavery and human trafficking. All our employees can consult with experts who will help them identify suspected signs of slavery and human trafficking and report such matters to the authorities. Moreover, globally, we distribute information which assists employees with identifying potential signs of slavery and human trafficking and provides a process for timely escalating concerns within the organization.
Supply Chain
We have focused our anti-human trafficking efforts within our own operations and by reviewing certain suppliers that participate in our approved supplier program, Our supply chain covers procurement at the corporate and local levels. The Company has an approved supplier program that supports the purchasing efforts of our owned and managed properties, as well as independently owned and controlled franchisees, by negotiating prices and volume discounts for products and services with third-party suppliers. We take a risk-based approach to performing due diligence. To the extent a supplier did not meet our due diligence requirements or our standards for ethical conduct as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct, we do not approve the supplier and, as to previously approved suppliers, require corrective action and terminate if necessary. We have developed a risk-based approach to report, manage and roll out programs intended to combat slavery and human trafficking in areas where we believe there is a high risk of such activity and where we have operational control over the business and our supply chain. We will continue to monitor, refine and implement programs, previously used by JM Solar. Through these programs we are able to measure number of personnel trained as well as number of suppliers evaluated.
Looking forward, we plan to maintain our commitment to combatting slavery and human trafficking by continuing to develop resources, refine our goals, and educate our employees and stakeholders across relevant areas of our business and supply chain. This is an ongoing process and to that end, we aspire to continue to work with the industry to make an impact within our sphere of influence.
