WITHAM (JUNE 13TH, 2017) - Inspectorate International Limited, a Bureau Veritas Group Company, announced today that it has published its first statement to comply with the new legislation covering the Modern Slavery Act.

"As part of the Commodities industry, the Company recognises that it has a responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking," continued Richard.
