Leading community housing provider SGCH has published its second Modern Slavery Statement.

The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) requires organisations with an annual consolidated revenue of more than AUD100 million to identify and report on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains, and the steps taken to address, assess and manage these risks.

Group CEO Scott Langford says “The publication of our Modern Slavery Statement is part of our way of operating intentionally to create a positive impact and to understand more about our supply chain and reduce risk. It goes without saying we are opposed to all forms of modern slavery, the obligation and opportunity we have in preparing a statement is a vital process in how we identify and minimise risk.
“We are committed to understanding and fulfilling our responsibilities to our customers, staff, partners, and the communities we operate in and being transparent in reporting our efforts.”

The statement outlines the organisation’s structure, operations, supply chains and risks. It examines the actions in place and their effectiveness in addressing risk and outlines a strategy to continuously improve in partnership with stakeholders and our supply chain.
