Anti-Slavery Policy

Committed to Anti-slavery

Wilson Power Solutions Group and its subsidiary companies is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We recognize that slavery and human trafficking are significant human rights violations that require collective action to eradicate. Anti-slavery is more than a policy; it is a fundamental principle that reflects our intrinsic values and the spirit of humanity. We believe that every individual has the right to live free from oppression and exploitation. Upholding this principle and ensuring compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and relevant legislation is a commitment to legal compliance as well as a moral imperative that resonates deeply within us. As a society, we cannot condone any form of slavery, as it contradicts the very essence of human dignity and justice. Our commitment to anti-slavery is a testament to our unwavering dedication to protecting and preserving the freedoms and rights of every person. As a UK-based organization, we are dedicated to complying with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and all other relevant legislation. We regularly review guidance and legislation in relation to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 to ensure we are maintaining an appropriate Anti-Slavery Policy.

Our business comprises one manufacturing unit and a head office based at our Westland Works Site. Our supply chains are international and are made up of a variety of manufacturing and service suppliers.
