Modern Slavery
Forced Labour and Child Labour Policy
Lorama Group is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. We uphold high standards of ethical conduct and integrity and expect the same from our employees, suppliers, and business partners.
We maintain policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery, including supplier due diligence and ongoing monitoring of our supply chain. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking.
