human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains.
NetHub is committed to acting ethically, transparently and with integrity in all business dealings. We take a
zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, servitude and human trafficking.
We recognise our responsibility to ensure that modern slavery does not occur in our organisation or within our
