Modern Slavery Statement

Our first Modern Slavery Statement committed Fremantle Ports to reducing the risk of modern slavery. Since submitting the first statement, Fremantle Ports has formed a Modern Slavery Working Group, adopted a Statement of Commitment and completed a modern slavery risk assessment.

Fremantle Ports manages the Fremantle Inner Harbour, Kwinana Bulk Jetty and Kwinana Bulk Terminal (Outer Harbour) and is responsible for:

• maintaining port property
• port security
• operating the port
• facilitating trade
• minimising the impact of port operations on the environment
• planning for future growth and development of the port for the benefit of the state.

Modern slavery includes conduct that would constitute:

• serious exploitation, including trafficking in persons
• slavery
• servitude
• forced marriage
• forced labour
• debt bondage
• deceptive recruiting for labour or services
• the worst forms of child labour.

Fremantle Ports acknowledges its responsibilities in improving the understanding of modern slavery within its workforce, supplier network, contractors and operations. This responsibility is reflected in several respects in Fremantle Ports’ systems, processes and values.
