INTRODUCTION
GreenCon is committed to conducting our operations ethically, responsibly, and in a manner that respects human rights. While we are not a reporting entity under the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) due to our turnover being below the statutory threshold, we have elected to voluntarily prepare this Modern Slavery Statement to demonstrate our commitment to preventing modern slavery within our operations and supply chain, proportionate to the size and nature of the business.
OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATION
GreenCon is a Victorian-based civil construction contractor delivering infrastructure, construction, and associated works primarily within regional Victoria. Our workforce consists predominantly of directly employed personnel, supplemented by subcontractors and suppliers for specialist services and materials.
GreenCon’s operations are domestic and regulated under Australian workplace, industrial relations, and safety laws.
OUR SUPPLY CHAINS
GreenCon’s supply chains include, but are not limited to:
While most suppliers operate within Australia, some goods (such as PPE, uniforms, and equipment) may be manufactured overseas, which can present a higher inherent risk of modern slavery.
MODERN SLAVERY RISKS
Based on the nature of our operations, we consider the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct operations to be low. However, we recognise that potential risk areas may arise indirectly within extended supply chains, particularly where goods are manufactured offshore, or labour hire arrangements are used, or if our subcontractors engage further downstream suppliers.
GreenCon does not tolerate forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, or any form of modern slavery.
We conduct basic due diligence during subcontractor onboarding and, if concerns are identified will engage with the relevant supplier or subcontractor to seek clarification and appropriate corrective action.
TRAINING AND AWARENESS
Senior management is responsible for oversight of ethical conduct and compliance matters, including modern slavery risks. Awareness of ethical sourcing and labour practices is incorporated into broader governance and compliance discussions as appropriate to our operations.
MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS
Given the size and nature of our business, we do not currently apply formal quantitative metrics to assess the effectiveness of our modern slavery controls. Effectiveness is monitored through:
This approach will be reviewed periodically as the business evolves.
APPROVAL AND REVIEW
This statement has been approved by GreenCon’s Managing Director and will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains appropriate to the company’s operations, risk profile, and legal environment.
