Anti‑Slavery, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation
of fundamental human rights

Blue 9 Security Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. Modern slavery is a crime and a serious abuse of human rights. We take a zero‑tolerance approach and expect the same standards from everyone we work with.
