Barloworld does not have forced and compulsory labour. It is contrary to the group’s Worldwide Code of Conduct, our Human Rights Policy, our values and ethics.

Suppliers, service providers and contractors are also expected to comply with applicable legislation and Supplier Code of Conduct; they are also expected to comply with their contractual obligations, which set certain standards of conduct.
