SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

SDG 8: DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
“Decent work in safe and stable conditions is a vital component of helping people out of poverty, with the related aspects of reducing hunger and increasing health. The rise of precarious employment, modern slavery, and uneven growth has created threats to a sustainable future. Universities as employers can lead the way, as teachers can educate for the future, and as innovators can develop new and fairer ways of working.”

We have developed reward system guidelines that establish equal rights, which documents our aims related to the ethical impact, which includes modern slavery and human trafficking when procuring all goods, services, & works (page 3, article 1 points 17, 20 & 21). Our standard contractual terms & conditions used when procuring goods, services and works include provisions that embed the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act & provide the University with the powers to request information from our suppliers on the nature of their supply chains where necessary. This also makes it clear that third-party suppliers are expected to comply with the principles of responsible procurement. Thus, all suppliers have to sign an integrity pact. This pact allows IPB in guaranteeing equivalent rights of workers where necessary. Periodic reviews of our suppliers allow the risks associated with equivalent rights of workers, modern slavery, and human trafficking to be considered, identified & managed.
