Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a morally reprehensible act that deprives a person's liberty and dignity for another person's gain. It affects millions of people around the world, including many in developed countries, who are being kept and exploited in various forms of slavery. Every company is at risk of being involved in this crime through its own operations and its supply chain.

At WRAITH Defence, we have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operation and supply chain. We have taken concrete steps to tackle modern slavery, as outlined in this declaration. This statement sets out the actions that we have taken to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to our business, and to implement steps to prevent slavery and human trafficking.

WRAITH Defence and every subsidiary (having the meaning as set out in section 1152 UK Companies Act 2006 ) (“Company”) is committed to applying the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in its business activities. Every employee and individual acting on the Company’s behalf is responsible for maintaining the Company’s reputation and for conducting business honestly and professionally.

The Company considers that bribery and corruption has a detrimental impact in business by undermining good governance and distorting free markets.

The Company benefits from carrying out business in a transparent and ethical way. The Company does not tolerate any form of bribery, whether direct or indirect, by, or of, its employees, officers, agents or consultants or any person or companies acting for it or on its behalf. The board and senior management are committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems to prevent and eliminate bribery, in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010.

The Company and its subsidiary companies have issued an anti-bribery and corruption policy, together with policies on gifts and corporate hospitality (“Policies”), outlining the Company’s position on preventing and prohibiting bribery and corruption. These Policies apply to all employees, and they are required to familiarise themselves and comply with these Policies.

A bribe is a financial advantage or other reward that is offered to, given to, or received by an individual or company (whether directly or indirectly) to induce or influence that individual or company to perform public or corporate functions or duties improperly.

Employees and others acting for or on behalf of the Company are strictly prohibited from making, soliciting, or receiving any bribes or unauthorised payments. As part of its anti- bribery measures, the Company accepts transparent, proportionate, reasonable, and bona fide hospitality and promotional expenditure, whether given or received.

A breach of these Policies by an employee will be treated as grounds for disciplinary action. Employees and other individuals acting for the Company should note that bribery is a criminal offence that may result in up to 10 years’ imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine for the individual and an unlimited fine for the Company.

The Company has a policy of not conducting business with service providers, agents or representatives that do not support appropriate anti-bribery and corruption objectives.

The success of the Company’s anti-bribery and corruption measures depends on all employees, and those acting for the Company, playing their part in helping prevent bribery. Therefore, all employees and others acting for, or on behalf of, the Company are encouraged to report any suspected bribery in accordance with the procedures set out in the Policies or in the case of third parties to the Company Secretary. 

The Company will support any individuals who make such a report in good faith.

WRAITH Defence understands that counterfeiting is a serious issue and poses a significant safety hazard within the defence industry. We have adopted an Anti-Counterfeit Policy to eliminate the impact of counterfeit parts on WRAITH Defence products and our customers. This is a zero tolerance policy against knowingly and intentionally trafficking counterfeit goods.

WRAITH Defence does not use counterfeit products and we demand that our supply chain adheres to our ethical business standards and mirrors our practices and procedures. To support this policy of WRAITH Defence maintains processes to ensure purchases are only made directly from approved suppliers such as OEMs, manufacturers, franchised distributors or agents. Should a suspect counterfeit or counterfeit product be found, WRAITH Defence will quarantine such material and report the findings to the supplier and appropriate authorities.

We process your personal data to carry out selection. This includes identifying you, communicating with you about your application, considering you against our requirements and other applicants and ultimately making our final recruitment decisions.

When submitting your application, you must provide at least the following information:

• First name
• Last name
• E-mail address
• Phone number
• Address
• Cover letter
• CV

You can provide additional application-relevant information and documents during the application process.

If you progress through our recruitment process additional personal data will be required to complete further recruitment  activities. We will obtain this information separately at the most appropriate stage of the recruitment process.

See section XI for Pre-Employment Checks.

As part of the application process, we will review whether we can add you to our talent pool. This is a database in which your applicant data is stored in order to be able to consider you for a future vacancy. At a later stage in the application process you will have the opportunity to consent to be included in the talent pool.

You are not obliged to provide your personal information. However, if you do not provide us with personal data when applying we will not be able to progress the application process.

If your application is successful and you do not provide us with the personal information required for the pre-employment checks we will be unable to employ you.

We predominantly receive the data directly from you as part of the application process.

We may review publicly accessible, job-related data, such as information you have provided on a profile in professional social media networks.

If your application is successful we receive information from third parties conducting our pre- employment checks. See section XI.

We process your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Data Protection Act (DPA) and all other relevant laws. 

All of the personal data provided by you in the application portal, including the data from all of the attachments uploaded by you, will be processed by WRAITH DFENCE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED exclusively for the purpose of your application.

This processing is necessary for the decision to establish an employment relationship.

In certain cases, we process your data to protect one of our legitimate interests or that of a third party:

• to defend against legal claims in legal proceedings. In the event of a legal dispute, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data for evidentiary purposes.
• to protect our business and to ensure that only appropriately qualified and suitable individuals are employed by the Company
• to comply with employment law obligations (such as the requirement to make reasonable adjustments) and health and safety requirements.

If you have voluntarily consented to the processing of certain personal data, this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of this data. We will process your personal data based on your consent in the following cases:

• Inclusion in the talent pool (see section 10)
• Special categories of personal data for the purpose of equal opportunities monitoring

Your data will be processed internally by our human resources department and the department manager of the vacant position. Other internal departments may be informed on a need-to-know basis.

Your data may be processed by third parties who help manage our business and deliver our services. In these instances your personal data will only be processed to the extent necessary to provide the required services. Examples include third parties providing IT services and maintenance, agencies conducting security and background checks and occupational health providers conducting medical assessments. 

Your personal data may be made available to selected senior managers. This may include senior managers of other WRAITH Companies in the event of technical supervision. Technical supervision means that specific topics are grouped together company-wide under one unified management for the entire group. It is therefore possible that, depending on the career advertised, you may be employed by one company, but your manager is employed by another company.

We will store your personal data for as long as needed for the decision on your application. If your application is unsuccessful we will store your data for six months from when you are informed your job application has been unsuccessful. This is necessary to defend against possible legal claims. 

If you are accepted into the talent pool (see section 10) and your personal data is stored in the pool we may request an update of your data after twenty-four months. If you do not respond to the request or do not update your information, we may remove you from the talent pool and delete your personal data and applicant profile.

This includes, where relevant and appropriate, credit checks, driving licence checks, identity fraud checks, criminal record checks (if and to the extent permitted by applicable laws), relevant employment history, relevant regulatory status and professional qualifications.

The results of these checks will come from the Company's external suppliers and partners.

This processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations to which the Company is subject and for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by the Company.

The Company considers that it has a legitimate interest in fully assessing applications for employment to ensure that only suitable and appropriate candidates are both assessed and selected and that it has legitimate interests in complying with all applicable laws.

The results of these checks will come from the Company's external suppliers and partners and if appropriate, medical professionals.
