Human Trafficking: The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by improper means for an improper purpose, including forced labor or sexual exploitation.

  • The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (USA)
  • The International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions
     

UNICEPTA is a member of the United Nation’s Global Compact Initiative and accepts its principles as its own. We comply with these values and support their dissemination with its day-to-day work. This policy complements our Global Code of Conduct.

 

 

UNICEPTA

UNICEPTA is the of the leading service providers for media intelligence. UNICEPTA covers the entire spectrum of media intelligence: From curated media reviews, editorial services, social listening to reputation analyses or strategic topic analyses. We capture what others miss - from print, social media, online and broadcast. Worldwide.

In addition to our headquarter in Cologne, we have 9 other global branches and offices: Berlin, Detroit, Krakow, London, Paris, São Paulo, Shanghai, Washington and Zurich.

As a service provider, the risk of modern slavery in our company or in our supply chain is low, but we are aware that modern slavery occurs in many different forms around the world. That is why we have decided to publish a clear statement against slavery and, of course, to act accordingly. 

 

 

Our Commitment

Zero Tolerance: We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.

Ethical Practices: We endeavour that our business operations and supply chains uphold the highest ethical standards.

Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our policies and practices to combat modern slavery.

 

The Management Board is responsible for compliance with this policy.

  • regularly trains its employees and sensitises its managers.
  • has implemented a whistleblower system, where all stakeholders can report concerns related to modern slavery.
