Transparency Statement
This statement is made on behalf of Taiyo Power & Storage Limited (Taiyo). Taiyo does not fall within the scope of Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and is not required by law to publish this statement but does so voluntarily to reflect our commitment to eliminating the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains.
Taiyo is a joint venture partnership between Kajima Partnerships Limited (Kajima) and LCA2 Limited (LCA). Its primary business is in the UK renewables and battery storage market and will develop solar farm programmes and battery storage.
Our commitment and supply chain
At Taiyo, as part of our culture of good governance for good business, we operate a set of core
values which reflect our commitment to ensure there is no slavery, forced or compulsory
human labour, abuse of power over vulnerable individuals, human trafficking or any other form
of exploitation as contemplated by the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in any part of our business
or supply chain. Our supply chain is essentially subcontractors and various service providers.
Taiyo believes in building long term relationships with the supply chain leading to more open
and collaborative working relationships which will help us to evaluate the risk of modern
slavery. We welcome the transparency encouraged by the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our
statement sets out for the public, our clients and suppliers, the steps that Taiyo are taking in
this regard.
Our policies
Our commitment to Anti-slavery and human trafficking, which is publicly available on our
websites, clearly sets out our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our
business relationships.
Our Anti-bribery and corruption policy sets out in detail our commitment to upholding and
complying with all anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. We take a zero-tolerance attitude to
bribery and corruption.
Our Whistleblowing policy encourages a free, open and honest culture. The senior
management teams recognise that effective and honest communication is essential if concerns
about breaches or failures are to be effectively dealt with and Kajima’s success ensured.
Our Equal Opportunities and discrimination policy outlines our commitment to taking all
necessary steps to prevent all types of unlawful discrimination in the workplace and to taking
positive action to promote equal opportunities for employees and potential employees.
Supplier due diligence
Taiyo believes it faces only a low risk of slavery and human trafficking in its business and
supply chains on the nature of its business, the limited range of goods and services forming its
supply chains and the territories in which it is active. Taiyo requires a risk analysis for all new
suppliers which includes ESG factors and checks on negative publicity.
Staff training
Kajima and LCA firmly believes that its own employees should all be educated on the subject
so that they are equipped with the knowledge that will enable them to take action and combat
modern slavery. They will continue to ensure that all existing employees are refreshed with,
and new employees are made aware, of the legislation and are provided with the correct
guidance and training on how to manage the risk and identify signs.
In accordance with our values, Kajima and LCA will positively build in the work already in
place to combat the risk of modern slavery in their sectors and will take further steps as they
deem necessary to effect improvements.
