Why does the Act matter to Mitie?
We recognise our responsibilities to society in relation to our supply chain. We actively engage with our suppliers to ensure that they share our values and comply with relevant legislation. We welcomed the introduction of the Act and the provisions within Section 54 covering supply chain transparency in the Home Office guide. We will not tolerate human trafficking, slavery or forced labour of any type.
