Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking 

Modern slavery is an abhorrent crime and a violation of basic human rights. It is a complex, global issue, which takes many forms and includes human trafficking, forced labour and servitude. MDB Service Consulting have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our organisation and our supply chains.

MDB Service Consulting strictly prohibits the use of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We have and will continue to be committed to implementing systems and controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation or in any of our supply chains. We expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

Environmental Policy

MDB seeks excellence in every aspect of our business and is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of our business operations.

Our policy is to reduce the impact of the firm’s operations on the environment. The goal is to promote sustainability and environmental awareness at all levels of the firm by:

  • Complying with all applicable environmental legislation and sustainability commitments
  • Preventing pollution and reducing consumption of resources through waste management and promote waste minimisation re-use, recovery and recycling, as appropriate
  • Incorporating energy efficiency measures into the firm’s facilities and promoting efficient energy use in all areas of business activity
  • Promoting and continuing to invest in technologies that provide alternatives to business travel

We will ensure this policy is implemented throughout our operations by:

  • Adopting procurement awareness which takes into account the environmental impact of products and services and supports the purchase of sustainable products
  • Ensure our staff are aware of the environmental impacts of their work activities and encourage them through awareness and training to minimise those impacts
  • Providing the management and resources necessary
  • Periodically reviewing environmental issues at the highest level within our organisation
  • Reviewing the policy and its effectiveness on an annual basis

We process certain business contact personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR / EU GDPR), where those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individual. In particular, we may use publicly available professional contact details (for example, business email addresses that are published on a company website, professional directory, or similar public source) to send one-to-one sales or business development emails that we reasonably believe are relevant to the recipient’s role and organisation. Our legitimate interests include promoting our services, developing business relationships, and responding to market demand. We may also, where appropriate and subject to appropriate safeguards, share relevant business contact information with our sister company for internal administrative purposes and to support aligned sales, marketing, and customer relationship activities; this sharing is limited to what is necessary and is governed by appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We apply additional safeguards, including limiting outreach to relevant recipients, minimising the data used, maintaining suppression lists, and providing a clear and simple option to opt out of future communications at any time; we will honour opt-out requests promptly. Where required by applicable law, we will not send such communications without first obtaining consent.
