SGCH published first Modern Slavery Statement
Further cementing the growth and maturity of one of Australia’s leading community housing providers, SGCH has published its first 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 “As a not-for-profit organisation focused on improving lives we are opposed to all forms of modern slavery and recognise our responsibility to be transparent in how we identify and address risk.
“As we increasingly grow our impact as an organisation we are committed to meeting the expectations of our customers and stakeholders to ensure we understand and develop our approach to addressing modern slavery risks. This is a continuation of our embedded focus on governance, impact and our operating culture.”
The statement outlines the organisations 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.
