Modern Slavery Policy

1. Introduction

Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It includes slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, child labour, and human trafficking. These forms of exploitation deprive individuals of their liberty for personal or commercial gain.

MadAppGang PTY LTD ("MadAppGang", "we", "us", or "our") adopts a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We are committed to acting with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and supply chain relationships to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking.
