Our policies on slavery and human trafficking

GottaBe! Marketing is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or from any part of our business. GottaBe! Marketing is an equal-opportunities employer, and we are committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff in all our three offices. Our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective and robust systems to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place any of our supply chains.

GottaBe! Marketing follows all the company policies which are accessible to all staff in our company bible which is published on our shared drive. All staff are directed to these policies when they join GottaBe! Marketing and contractors are also advised to which policies are applicable to them.

Our supply chain

Owing to the nature of our business being service related, our supply chain is limited and predominantly consists of goods and services purchased in order to enable us to deliver our services to our clients in the most effective and efficient way. The main categories we procure for our clients are media space from a range of Media Owners, including TV, radio, press and digital. Internally we have suppliers related to our information technology, facilities management, and property space. We procure goods and services from a limited range of UK and overseas suppliers. The overseas suppliers are based worldwide. Prior to appointing that third party consultancy we confirmed that they have their own set of procedures to mitigate any risk of modern slavery and human trafficking.
