Ethical Standards & Modern Slavery Alignment Policy

1. Purpose

At Andmine, we are committed to operating with integrity, transparency and accountability. While we are not required to report under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), we proactively align with its principles to ensure our operations and relationships remain free from exploitation.

2. Scope

This policy applies to:
• All Andmine team members (employees, contractors, consultants)
• Third-party service providers engaged by Andmine
• Subcontractors acting on Andmine’s behalf

3. Binding Employment Terms

All employees of Andmine are contractually bound to this policy. They are expected to uphold high ethical standards and raise any concerns related to labour practices or working conditions.

4. Oversight & Accountabilit

The Managing Director is responsible for:
• Personally vetting all team members, suppliers, and contractors
• Maintaining oversight of compliance with this policy
• Reviewing all active relationships periodically to confirm alignment

5. Vetting & Due Diligence Process

All third-party engagements are informally but deliberately screened to ensure:
• All work is voluntary and legally compliant
• Workers are fairly compensated
• There is no evidence of coercion, deception, or poor working conditions
• No subcontracting occurs without disclosure and approval

Andmine primarily engages known Australian-based suppliers and professionals. If there is any concern or uncertainty, this policy is shared, and acknowledgment of its standards is required before continuing the relationship.

6. Risk Awareness

Although our services are delivered primarily by skilled professionals in Australia, we remain vigilant. We look for red flags in contractor arrangements and supply chains, including:
• Non-transparent work conditions
• Unusual employment structures
• Any hints of exploitation or unfair treatment

7. Incident Response Protocol

If a modern slavery concern or allegation arises:
• The engagement is paused immediately
• A review is conducted with the involved party
• If necessary, the relationship is terminated and reported to authorities

8. Ongoing Commitment

This policy is reviewed annually and shared with new team members and contractors. Ethical conduct is a core part of how we do business.
