Suppliers  

As a group we do not carry out detailed checks to test suppliers’ compliance with company standards against trafficking and slavery throughout the entirety of their own supply chain.  The group does, however, require suppliers to certify that they comply with our Supplier Guidelines and Requirements; these include the need to make sure that their own chains are compliant, and the results of that certification are audited.  Any breaches of this statement may result in CMO terminating its relationship with a supplier. 

Employees  

CMO only employs people who are legally allowed to work in the United Kingdom with employee’s eligibility to work status validated in line with current legislation. These checks are completed prior to employment, any person who is unable to provide documentation will have their application terminated. 

Agency Workers  

CMO only use reputable employment agencies. Prior to accepting agency work, a contract is signed which states terms and conditions, along with how they practise as an agency. All agency workers are fully trained when they come to CMO.  

Communication and training

High Risk Activities
