Our dedication extends beyond compliance; it is about making a positive impact, promoting human rights, and leading by example in the fight against modern slavery.

Commitment to Ethical Practices

Resoken upholds a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and our supply chains. This commitment is foundational to our ethical practices and corporate responsibility efforts.

Recognising these challenges, we proactively engage in detailed risk assessments of all facets of our operations and supply chains. Our methodical approach encompasses not only identifying areas vulnerable to modern slavery practices but also implementing robust measures to mitigate these risks effectively. 

This includes a multi-tiered strategy involving stringent supplier evaluations, enhanced visibility into supply chain operations, and fostering strong partnerships grounded in mutual respect for human rights. We prioritise transparency, requiring our suppliers to adhere to our ethical standards, and conduct regular audits and assessments to ensure compliance. By continuously monitoring and adapting our risk assessment methodologies, Resoken aims to stay ahead of potential threats, safeguarding against modern slavery and reinforcing our commitment to ethical business practices.

Due Diligence Processes

Resoken’s due diligence processes are rigorously designed to ensure our partners and suppliers strictly adhere to anti-slavery standards. This comprehensive vetting process includes an in-depth review of their practices, policies, and compliance records related to human rights and modern slavery. 

We conduct regular audits, both announced and unannounced, and require our partners to complete self-assessments that confirm their commitment to ethical practices. Suppliers are also required to provide evidence of their own due diligence efforts, ensuring a transparent and accountable supply chain that upholds our commitment to combatting modern slavery.

Resoken has established a comprehensive framework of policies, procedures, and training programs aimed at preventing modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. Our internal policies clearly prohibit any form of modern slavery and human trafficking, reinforcing our ethical commitments. 

We have implemented robust procedures to identify and mitigate risks, and conduct due diligence on our suppliers and partners. Furthermore, we provide regular training for our employees to ensure they understand the importance of these issues, can recognise the signs of modern slavery, and know how to report potential concerns. This holistic approach ensures that our team is not only aware but also actively involved in our efforts to uphold human rights and ethical practices.

Resoken rigorously enforces high ethical standards among our partners, including private clinics and practices listed on our platform, underscoring a mutual commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We require our partners to actively participate in our ethical mission by implementing comprehensive anti-slavery policies within their operations. 

This commitment is evaluated through a detailed vetting process, including assessments and ongoing reviews, to ensure continuous adherence to these crucial standards. Furthermore, we engage in regular dialogue and provide resources to assist our partners in enhancing their understanding and practices concerning anti-slavery measures. Our collaborative approach aims to cultivate a network of partners who not only meet but exceed legal and ethical expectations, thereby contributing to a broader industry-wide impact against modern slavery.
