Anti-Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Our Commitment

At GEDON™, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with integrity. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and exploitation in any form.

We recognise our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery does not exist within our own operations or within the supply chains and client networks we engage with.

Our Business

GEDON™ is a specialist recruitment and executive search firm operating within the construction and infrastructure sectors. Our services include:

  • Executive Search

  • Commercial & Quantity Surveying Recruitment

  • Talent Mapping

  • Market Intelligence

  • International Candidate Relocation Support

While our operational structure is professional services-based and therefore considered lower risk in relation to physical supply chains, we acknowledge that recruitment businesses play a critical role in preventing worker exploitation.

Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery

We are committed to:

  • Conducting business with transparency and integrity

  • Ensuring fair and lawful recruitment practices

  • Promoting equal opportunity and non-discriminatory hiring

  • Preventing exploitative working conditions

Our policies and procedures are designed to mitigate the risk of modern slavery within our sphere of influence.

Recruitment Standards

GEDON™ operates under strict ethical recruitment standards:

  • We verify the identity and right-to-work status of candidates.

  • We work only with legitimate employers who comply with local employment laws.

  • We encourage open communication with candidates throughout the hiring process.

  • We promote fair remuneration and lawful employment terms.

Where international relocation is involved, we ensure candidates understand their employment contracts, visa conditions, and rights before accepting offers.

Due Diligence

We take reasonable steps to assess and monitor risk within our business relationships, including:

  • Vetting clients and partner organisations.

  • Reviewing contractual agreements.

  • Monitoring for red flags relating to worker exploitation.

  • Refusing to work with organisations that fail to meet ethical standards.

Training & Awareness

We promote awareness of modern slavery risks within our team and encourage vigilance in identifying potential signs of exploitation, including:

  • Unusual payment arrangements

  • Restricted movement or communication

  • Withheld documentation

  • Coercion or intimidation

Any concerns are taken seriously and investigated appropriately.

We are committed to creating a culture where concerns can be raised safely. If any individual believes there is a risk of modern slavery connected to our work, they are encouraged to contact us directly.

All reports will be treated confidentially and investigated appropriately.

Ongoing Commitment

GEDON™ is committed to continually reviewing and improving our practices to ensure we uphold the highest ethical standards across our operations.

We believe responsible recruitment is not only a legal obligation but a moral one.
