Purpose: In March 2017, Welsh Government produced a “Code of Practice, Ethical Employment in Supply Chains”. It is the intention of Welsh Government that all public, private and third sector organisations, in receipt of Welsh public sector funding adopt the Code.

The Code of Practice was developed in response to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and has been designed to ensure that workers in public sector supply chains are employed ethically and in compliance with both the letter and spirit of UK, EU and international laws.
