Modern Slavery Statement.

At True North Talent, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, transparency and respect for human rights. Although we are not legally required to publish a Modern Slavery Statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we recognise our responsibility to promote ethical recruitment practices and help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business.

As a specialist recruitment consultancy operating exclusively within the UK food and drink manufacturing industry, we believe everyone has the right to work in an environment that is safe, fair and free from exploitation.

Our Business

True North Talent provides permanent, interim and executive recruitment solutions across the UK food and drink manufacturing sector. We work closely with clients and candidates to connect experienced professionals with businesses throughout the industry.

Our Commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically in all our business relationships and expect the same high standards from our clients, suppliers and partners.

Our Recruitment Practices

To help minimise the risk of exploitation, we:

• Carry out appropriate identity and Right to Work checks where required.
• Promote fair and ethical recruitment practices throughout our business.
• Work with reputable clients and suppliers who share our commitment to responsible employment.
• Encourage open and honest communication with candidates and clients throughout the recruitment process.
• Remain alert to any concerns or indicators of unethical employment practices and take appropriate action where necessary.

Our People

Our team is expected to act with honesty, professionalism and integrity at all times. We encourage employees to raise any concerns regarding unethical behaviour or suspected modern slavery without fear of reprisal.

Continuous Improvement

Whilst the risk of modern slavery within our own business is considered low, we are committed to continually reviewing our policies, procedures and recruitment practices to ensure they remain aligned with current legislation and best practice.

We will review this statement annually as part of our commitment to ethical business practices.
