What we are doing in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains

We are committed to conducting our worldwide business operations in a manner that complies with applicable laws and regulations and according to the highest ethical standards.

We take a number of steps as part of our due diligence to identify and assess risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our global business and supply chains. Where we identify an elevated risk, we have in place systems to mitigate that risk and monitor potential risk areas going forward.

These include:

  • Expecting all suppliers to comply with the Supplier Code of Business Conduct that forbids slavery and human trafficking.
  • Prohibiting the use of forced labour, child labour and human rights abuses: we contractually reserve the right to terminate any supply chain contract for violation of the Supplier Code in relation to these issues.
  • Monitoring supplier compliance through a set of audit processes as part of our Supplier Risk Assessment process and reviewing our suppliers when their risk position substantially changes.
  • Utilising the Flowserve Ethics Hotline to anonymously report any concerns over noncompliance related to our suppliers.

Training

We provide training to our staff to ensure a high level of understanding of the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains.

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 by Flowserve UK on behalf of the Group for the financial year ending December 31, 2023. The statement has been approved by the board of directors of Flowserve UK.
