Code of Ethical Business Conduct 21
Slavery and Human Trafficking
Slavery and human trafficking are violations of fundamental human
rights. They take many forms, including servitude, forced and compulsory
labor, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by
another in order to exploit them for personal gain. Martin Marietta has a
zero tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and is committed
to acting fairly, ethically and with integrity in all of its business affairs.
Martin Marietta is committed to enforcing effective systems and controls
to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in
its own business or in any of its supply chains.
Under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, certain corporations are required
to make disclosures as to the steps taken to ensure their businesses and
supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking. Consistent with
that requirement, Martin Marietta is committed to ensuring transparency in
its approach to tackling slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same
high standards from all of our vendors, suppliers and business partners.
