Policy Statement:

TMB Printing Pty Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery in all its forms, including slavery, human trafficking, servitude, forced labour, and child labour, within our operations and supply chains. We acknowledge that modern slavery is a serious violation of human rights and can occur in various sectors, including the supply chains of businesses. As part of our commitment to ethical business practices, we will take steps to identify, prevent, and mitigate the risks of modern slavery.

This policy aligns with the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (the "Act") and outlines the steps we will take to ensure that modern slavery does not exist in our business or supply chains. We are dedicated to conducting our business with integrity and transparency, respecting human rights in all of our operations.
