At Powerlink Queensland, we are dedicated to enhancing our awareness of modern slavery risks and establishing robust controls to proactively prevent and manage potential risks within our supply chains and operations.
This is Powerlink’s sixth annual Statement since the implementation of Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018. It details how we apply our commitment in practice to identify, assess and manage modern slavery risks through measures that keep our people informed and accountable.
During the financial year 2024/25, we took considered action to address modern slavery risks through several targeted initiatives including:
- Introducing a Modern Slavery Strategy to strengthen our response and prevention efforts
- Upgrading training programs and frameworks to better equip staff in identifying and responding to modern slavery risks
- Enhancing procurement processes by integrating modern slavery considerations into each stage of supplier engagement
- Fostering closer collaboration with industry partners to share expertise and refine our risk management approach
- Implementing ongoing enhancements to operational procedures to efficiently address and manage modern slavery risks throughout our organisation and supply chains.
We remain committed to human rights and the prevention of modern slavery, upholding transparency and accountability in all areas of our business activities and ensuring we maintain a working environment where people feel safe and respected.
