Upholding good business conduct
Our culture as a company is built on our commitment to upholding Tarmac values, in particular doing what we say and leading with integrity. This means we do the right things in the right way, comply with the law and work responsibly. To ensure that we are continuously meeting these values, everyone who works for Tarmac has a duty to understand and abide by our Code of Business Conduct.
Modern slavery
Tarmac is a responsible and ethical business and, as part of our established Procurement and Human Resources processes, we are committed to respecting human and labour rights and take all reasonable steps to ensure that modern slavery (in any form) does not take place in our business and wider sphere of influence such as in our supply chain.
To help raise awareness of this important issue with our employees across the business, the company has developed a short e-learning module. The module sets out to provide a summary of what modern slavery is and the potential risks it poses to our business. It also gives an overview of our policies, systems and processes to prevent modern slavery, the key signs of modern slavery and how to identify them and confirms the arrangements we have in place for employees to report any concerns.
