Modern Slavery Policy

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights; it includes slavery, servitude, forced labour, forced marriage, child labour violations, debt bondage, deceptive recruiting for labour or services, and human trafficking.

Our Commitment

Echo360 is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and to implementing and enforcing systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not present or permitted in our own business practice or across any of our controllable supply chains. Our practices and policies in this regard are guided by the United Kingdom’s Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018.

This policy applies to all persons working for Echo360 or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees, directors, officers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, consultants, third-party representatives, and business partners. The policy is applied to and enforced for all Echo360 business activities in all Echo360 markets.

Responsibility for the Policy

Echo360 has responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations, and that those under our direct or indirect management comply with it.

Compliance with the Policy

All persons working for Echo360 must comply with this policy. The prevention, detection, and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chains is the responsibility of those working for us or under our control.

All persons are required to avoid any activity that might lead to or suggest a breach of this policy and must notify their line manager OR a company Director as soon as they believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred or may occur in the future.

If any person working for Echo360 is unsure about whether a particular act, the treatment of workers more generally, or their working conditions within any tier of Echo360’s supply chains constitute any of the various forms of modern slavery, they must raise it with Human Resources via email to HR@echo360.com.

Communication & Awareness

Internal employees will be trained on and indicate acceptance of Echo360’s policy at time of hire, with updates provided using established methods of communication between Echo360 management and employees.

External suppliers, contractors, consultants, and partners will be advised and encouraged to accept Echo360’s policy at the outset of our business relationship with them, and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.

Breaches of this Policy

Any employee or external entity who breaches Echo360’s policy will face commensurate disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal or termination.
