This page states Azari Holdings’ public policy position. Applicable law, contracts, regulatory requirements and more specific subsidiary procedures may impose additional or stricter requirements.
Group expectation
No Azari business should knowingly use or benefit from forced labour, trafficking or coercive recruitment. Workers should be free to leave employment subject to lawful notice and should not have identity documents unlawfully retained to restrict movement.
The practical controls required will differ by sector, country, labour model and supply chain.
Where risk can arise
Heightened risk can exist in labour-intensive contracting, construction, hospitality, logistics, domestic or migrant labour, recruitment agencies and complex subcontracting chains, particularly where workers have limited bargaining power.
Risk assessment should consider the actual work and sourcing model rather than relying only on a supplier’s location or public statements.
Recruitment and worker treatment
Recruitment fees, deceptive terms, unlawful wage withholding, threats, debt bondage and restrictions on movement are warning signs. Employment conditions should be communicated clearly and comply with applicable labour requirements.
Suppliers using labour agencies remain responsible for understanding how workers are recruited where the risk is material.
Supplier expectations
Relevant suppliers should cooperate with proportionate diligence and should not conceal subcontractors or labour practices that materially affect the risk profile of the work.
Contracts may include labour and human-rights requirements where appropriate to the relationship.
Concerns and remediation
Suspected exploitation should be handled with care for affected people. Immediate safety, legal reporting obligations and the risk of making a person more vulnerable should be considered before a commercial response is chosen.
Termination can be appropriate in serious cases, but remediation may also require specialist support, worker protection and cooperation with competent authorities or organisations.
Review and improvement
Azari’s public statement should be reviewed as the group’s workforce and supply chains develop. More specific reporting may be required if a group entity becomes subject to a statutory modern-slavery disclosure regime.
The website should not claim a formal compliance status where applicability has not been verified.
