Introduction
One Way or Another (OWOA) Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and is committed to preventing acts of slavery and human trafficking from occurring within both its business and supply chain. We impose the same high standards on our contractors, suppliers, and other business partners.
Company Structure
One Way or Another Limited is a Business Management Consultancy that provides business solutions and consultancy services. We also assist ex-forces personnel in transitioning into civilian careers in collaboration with our industry partners, clients, and companies. Currently, OWOA operates exclusively in the UK; should we expand into other regions, we will ensure that our zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery is maintained.
Due Diligence Process
To uphold our commitment to preventing modern slavery, we implement the following due diligence measures:
Procurement Processes: We operate strict procurement processes that ensure suppliers, contractors, and clients comply with all applicable laws and standards, including those related to the Modern Slavery Act.
Supplier Expectations: We expect our suppliers to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies in place within their businesses and to cascade those policies to their own suppliers.
Continuous Review: We undertake a continuous review of assurance information regarding existing suppliers, consultants, and clients.
Training: We provide regular training on the Modern Slavery Act to our consultants and relevant staff members.
Contractual Obligations: Our contractual documentation includes appropriate terms obliging suppliers, contractors, and clients to comply with the Modern Slavery Act. We reserve the right to audit suppliers and contractors when deemed necessary.
Reporting Requirements: It is a contractual requirement for suppliers to report any awareness or suspicion of slavery or human trafficking in a supply chain connected to any OWOA contracts.
Encouraging Reporting: We encourage staff to identify and report any potential breaches of OWOA’s anti-slavery policy statement.
