Introduction

 

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) is a UK law that came into force in 2015.

 

The Act requires commercial organisations with an annual turnover of more than £36 million to publish a slavery and human trafficking statement for each financial year.

 

As a provider of executive transport services, regardless of size, Apollo Air Services is fully supportive of the Act and sets out the steps taken to combat slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain.
