Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction

Jones AV (JAV) is committed to ethical business practices and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chains. This statement outlines the steps taken during the financial year [insert year] to uphold these commitments.

Our Business and Supply Chains

JAV delivers advanced integrated theatre and medical training facility solutions across Europe. Our supply chain is global, involving partnerships with technology vendors, component manufacturers, and service providers.

JAV maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our key policies that support this commitment include:

• Code of Ethics: Enforced to promote fairness, honesty, and accountability.
• Whistleblower Policy: Provides a confidential channel for reporting unethical practices without fear of retaliation.

Training and Awareness

JAV is dedicated to increasing awareness of modern slavery within our organisation and supply chain. Planned initiatives include:

• Structured training programs for employees on ethical practices and compliance
• Communication campaigns emphasise ethical sourcing and employee rights

Performance Monitoring

To measure our progress in tackling modern slavery risks, we are implementing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as:

• Employee participation in training sessions
• Regular supplier audits to ensure ethical compliance
• Strengthening due diligence processes across our operations

Our Future Commitments
