Employment Policy Modern Slavery
SDG 8.2.4
Sunway University is committed to supporting global efforts to end modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. Malaysia committed to support the United Nations’ objective of ending forced labour, modern slavery and human trafficking at the 72nd United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2017. Malaysia also enacted the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act in 2007 and ratified the 2015 ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons.
As a responsible Malaysian employer, Sunway University considers it essential not only to comply with the 2007 Anti-Trafficking Act but also to support any measures to assist the United Nations in its objective of eliminating modern slavery and other related forms of abuses of individual freedom and human rights globally. This directly impacts on Sustainable Development Goals 1 (No Poverty), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
As an institution, Sunway University is committed to the core values of Sunway Group, one of which is “integrity”. We wholeheartedly abhor all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking and will not knowingly support such activities nor tolerate them on the part of any organisation or individual with which we interact. This includes collaborating institutions, suppliers, contractors and sub-contractors.
