Dewpoint is bound by the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Act) and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all officers, employees, agents, and suppliers (including subcontractors) are made aware of and understand Dewpoint obligations as well as their own obligations under the Act.
Modern slavery occurs where coercion, threats or deception are used to exploit individuals and undermine or deprive them of their freedom.
Modern slavery involves serious exploitation. It does not extend to substandard working conditions or underpayment of workers, although those practices may be present in some situations of modern slavery or may escalate into modern slavery if left unaddressed.
Practices that may constitute modern slavery include human trafficking, slavery, servitude, forced labour, debt bondage, deception recruiting for labour or services and child labour involving slavery or hazardous work. Dewpoint will work proactively to address the risk of modern slavery within its supply chains and operations as follows
Human Rights

Dewpoint promotes effective employee engagement throughout our operations and welcome open sincere feedback from employees on all matters of the company’s business interest.
Dewpoint employs a grievance policy, which is transparent, equitable and predictable to enable the remediation of any abuse of human rights and its impacts that may arise in its operations.
