Modern Slavery Statement
The Salvation Army, as both a church and a charity, has a long history in speaking about justice, compassion and other issues that support the welfare of others. We are continuing to progress on our journey in responding to the complex issue of modern slavery, as we live our vision of seeing lives transformed with the love of Jesus.
This modern slavery statement recognises that our commitment to knowing and addressing our modern slavery risks is ongoing and will continue to be supported by programs of awareness, process improvements, and adaptability over the years to come. It is integral for The Salvation Army Australia Territory to articulate our vision of seeing lives transformed through the love of Jesus.
During the 2024 reporting period, we have made significant progress in our commitment to combatting modern slavery in Australia, made possible by enhancements to our supply chain governance practices, as well as an uplift to capability and capacity to addressing modern slavery risks and offer support to victims of modern slavery.
This progress reflects our dedication to transparency, continuous improvement, and most importantly, to ensuring that we do not cause or contribute to hardship or injustice in our procurement practices.
