Declaração contra a Escravidão e o Tráfico de Pessoas
As a multinational organisation, MacPaw understands that we need to lead by example in the way we do business. We recognise that modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
We aim to act fairly, ethically and openly in everything we do and are committed to practices to combat slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and in any part of our business.
