It sets out the steps taken by Bar Fridges Australia to ensure that slavery and
human trafficking are not present in our business or direct supply chain. Bar Fridges Australia is committed to acting with the highest
ethical standards and integrity in all our business
relations. To fulfill these requirements, Bar Fridges Australia has established, maintains and enforces systems and controls to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business.
Bar Fridges Australia has not encountered any slavery or human trafficking
activities in our supply chain. If we become aware of any such activity or
incident, we will take prompt action in accordance with our legal obligations and
our moral and ethical commitment to respect human dignity and rights.

within our business or our supply chain to be low due to the nature of the work
we perform, the services we consume arid general activities within our
business.
