Bus Stop Sales & Service Modern Slavery Statement
At Bus Stop Sales, we are committed to upholding the dignity, well-being, and human rights of everyone involved in our business, from our employees and contractors to our valued suppliers and customers. While we are not legally required to comply with Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), we choose to make this statement public to demonstrate our proactive stance against all forms of modern slavery and our commitment to responsible business practices.
What is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a serious crime and a fundamental violation of human rights. It includes, but is not limited to:
- Slavery and servitude
- Forced or compulsory labour
- Human trafficking (facilitating the movement of individuals for exploitation)
These practices deprive individuals of their liberty for personal or commercial gain, and have no place in our business or supply chain.
Who This Statement Applies To
This statement covers all individuals and entities associated with Bus Stop Sales, including employees, directors, contractors, service providers and any other representatives of our business.
If any of our service providers are found to be in breach of the principles outlined here, we may terminate our business relationship with them. Employees who breach these principles may be subject to disciplinary action or dismissal.
Our Commitment
Bus Stop Sales is a leader in the bus and coach industry, employing skilled professionals and working with a trusted network of suppliers and service providers. We are committed to:
- Acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings
- Preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains
- Regularly assessing our operations and supply chains for risks related to modern slavery
- Taking reasonable steps to ensure that no one working with or for us is involved in modern slavery or related offences
We have assessed our business as low risk for modern slavery but remain vigilant and ready to act on any concerns.
Record Keeping
We maintain thorough records to demonstrate our ongoing compliance with modern slavery laws and best practices as they relate to our employees, contractors, directors, and service providers.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage all employees, contractors, suppliers, and representatives to speak up if they have reasonable grounds to suspect unethical behaviour or breaches related to modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially to our Operations Manager, who will review the matter and determine the appropriate course of action.
If you believe someone is in immediate danger, please contact the police directly. Your vigilance can help prevent exploitation and abuse.
All concerns will be investigated promptly and transparently, with corrective action taken as needed.
Statement Updates
We will update this statement as needed and publish any changes on our website to ensure ongoing transparency and accountability.
At Bus Stop Sales, we take our responsibility as an industry leader seriously. We are committed to ensuring our business and supply chains remain free from modern slavery, and we invite our community to join us in this commitment.
