Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery Commitment Statement – E4 Advisory (t/a Inclusion@work)

As a human rights consulting business dedicated to promoting equity, inclusion, and psychological safety, Inclusion@work recognises our responsibility to address modern slavery risks in our operations and supply chains, however minimal they may be.

We are committed to:

  • Operating ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships
  • Ensuring all contractors engaged by our business have provided documentation verifying their right to work in Australia
  • Maintaining awareness of modern slavery risks in our limited supply chain, which consists primarily of established Australian businesses
  • Supporting initiatives that combat exploitation and promote dignified work

Our approach to modern slavery compliance is proportionate to our size and risk profile as a micro-business. We regularly review our practices and stay informed about developments in human rights standards and modern slavery legislation.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to respect human rights and oppose exploitation in all its forms, values that are at the core of our consulting practice.
