The IET’s Supply Chain
In order to deliver its activities, the IET works with a range of suppliers, including publishing services, software services, catering and facilities management, and professional services.
Policies
IET制定了反奴隶制政策，并在其网站上提供了有关举报的指导 http://bam8h.elahomecollection.com/membership/professionalism-and-ethics/professional-ethics-resources/whistleblowing-resources/ as well as having a staff policy on whistleblowing. 我们还制定了一份全面的采购手册，其中列出了一个采购框架，旨在确保在IET的业务中不存在现代奴隶制.
Actions to minimise the risk of Slavery
The IET takes a multifaceted approach, which includes:
In 2016, IET要求其供应商确认它们为打击奴役和贩卖人口而采取的措施.
In 2016-2019, contracts with significant new suppliers, 或者在奴役风险较高的行业或国家的新供应商, include clauses regarding anti-slavery measures.
在2020年期间，IET通过我们的采购政策和表格要求所有合同必须包括反奴隶制声明.
2019年，IET聘请了一名专门的财产和采购经理，其职责包括监督供应商流程，作为其持续改进流程承诺的一部分.
2020年，IET签署了一份重要的合同，对其主要办公室进行翻新, Futures Place (formerly Michael Faraday House). 反奴隶制承诺包括在该合同中，并将定期进行现场检查，以监测现场的工作实践.
2020年，IET进行了一项风险评估，以确定其供应链中可能容易受到奴役或人口贩运影响的领域. The risk assessment considered both geographic and sector risk. It identified that as regards its operations and supply chains, catering and other services at its venues represented a risk, as did the use of certain outsourced services in India.
2020年，我们审查了我们的外包IT，以确保适当的反奴隶制流程到位.
我们的招聘做法有助于防止公司内部出现现代奴役的风险. Our employment agreements and policies are managed locally, 以全球模板和原则为基础，但根据当地相关情况和适用法律进行了调整.
Some of the other recruitment measures which the IET has in place include:
- 在聘用前对准雇员进行审查，并在开始工作日期前进行警方和背景调查(两阶段程序);
- 定期进行工资审查，以确保员工在其开展业务的国家获得维持生活的工资, 制定工资基准，确保他们在行业中保持竞争力;
- 检查但不扣留身份证件和工作证件的权利;
- Providing information on workers’ rights in a language they can understand;
- Not allowing: fines levied to be passed onto employees, for workers to be charged finders’ fees, and not deducting accommodation or transport costs from staff salaries.
Continuous review and risk mitigation
IET认识到需要不断评估奴役或人口贩运的风险. IET还认识到，供应链的可见性可能存在差距，用于识别风险的工具也存在局限性. 解决这些问题是一项复杂的任务，正在不断进行审查，以制定有效的框架 . IET认识到需要在整个组织内进行现代奴隶制培训，以扩大意识.
COVID-19
由于这一流行病，移民局正在不断审查其程序和风险评估，并将评估是否存在任何新的或增加的现代奴役风险, 以及是否需要对我们的运营和供应链中先前确定的风险进行重新排序.
到目前为止，IET还没有在其运营或供应链中发现任何现代奴隶制的例子.
