How Burns & Wilcox combats slavery

In order to combat slavery, Burns & Wilcox

  • Will adopt this policy and approve this statement.
  • Has reviewed it's risk assessment to identify areas where the risk of slavery may be elevated. The outputs and actions will be presented to the Board of Burns and Wilcox Insurance Brokers L.L.C. Burns & Wilcox continues to consider itself to be at "Low" risk of slavery arising (meaning that it is unlikely or known that slavery is not occurring), but is not complacent and as a result of the risk assessment will continue to take sensible, risk-based measures designed to reduce risk to within stated appetite.
  • Carries out checks in its supply chain (principally those involved in providing and distributing products to Burns & Wilcox customers) to reduce the risk of slavery occurring; in particular, Burns & Wilcox uses screening software to identify suppliers and other third parties who may have had convictions for (and allegations of) trafficking and similar offences. Further actions will be taken to require participants in our supply chains to attest to an absence of non-compliant activity; to sign agreements that require compliant behaviours; and to submit to checks and report failures to Burns & Wilcox;
  • Will investigate the provision of training materials for all Associates in the group and disseminate information on the requirements of this policy once approved, and;
  • Will formally review performance against this policy annually.

Burns & Wilcox welcomes questions from interested persons on this subject.
