LEWIS MEDIA GROUP MODERN SLAVERY POLICY STATEMENT
Modern Slavery Policy Statement
This statement is in response to the Modern Slavery Act 2018, and outlines the steps Lewis Media Group has and is continuing to take, to assess and reduce the risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
Our Commitment
At Lewis Media Group, we actively maintain and improve our processes to prevent any form of modern slavery. This includes forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. We promote ethical business practices and implement policies designed to protect workers from abuse and exploitation. To uphold these values, we expect all employees, suppliers, and contractors to align with our commitment. Together, we ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Lewis Media Group is an Australian-owned company based in Taren Point, New South Wales. We specialise in complete print, signage, and creative solutions. As of 30 March 2022, we employ 30 direct staff and operate through streamlined, end-to-end workflow systems.
We rely on a simple and transparent Australian supply chain. Our long-term relationships with key suppliers focus on the provision of ink, paper, and office consumables—essential items that bring stability and minimise risk.
By choosing local Australian suppliers, we significantly reduce the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain. These suppliers must also comply with Australian workplace laws, including the Modern Slavery Act. Additionally, all suppliers and contractors are required to sign our Code of Conduct before engagement. This policy further strengthens our ability to manage and prevent the risks of exploitation.
Human Resources
We maintain strict human resource and payroll policies that fully comply with Australian legal standards. Every employee receives a clear contract of employment and a handbook that outlines their rights, benefits, and responsibilities. This includes lawful wages, appropriate working hours, minimum age compliance, and no unauthorised deductions.
Moreover, all staff members have access to confidential reporting channels. These systems allow employees to raise any concerns without fear of retaliation. We are committed to creating a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and respected.
