Modern slavery

We published our first “Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour Report,” which details measures we have taken to identify, address and prevent forced labor in our operations and supply chains. This report outlines both our global approach and alignment with local regulation to prevent and reduce risks associated with all forms of modern slavery, as well as our established commitment to providing safe and fair working conditions for all our consultants and professionals.
