1. Our commitment
Finch Technologies has zero tolerance for child labour, forced labour, trafficking, exploitation or practices that endanger a child’s safety, health, education or development. We support children’s rights and expect the same commitment from suppliers, contractors and business partners.
2. Employment standards
- Finch will not knowingly employ or engage anyone below 18 years of age in its workforce, internship, apprenticeship or contractor roles.
- Age and identity checks may be carried out before engagement, using lawful and proportionate verification.
- No person may be subjected to forced, bonded, involuntary or trafficked labour, or have identity documents unlawfully withheld.
- All work must be voluntary, safe, fairly compensated where applicable and consistent with working-time and other legal requirements.
This internal standard is intentionally protective and may be stricter than minimum statutory thresholds. Applicable Indian law includes the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, as amended, and related rules.
3. Supplier and partner expectations
Suppliers, production partners, freelancers, contractors and other parties working on Finch’s behalf must comply with applicable child-labour and human-rights laws. Finch may request reasonable assurances, investigate credible concerns, require corrective action or suspend/terminate a relationship where serious violations are identified.
4. Reporting concerns
Employees, applicants, suppliers and members of the public may report a suspected violation confidentially to support@finchtechnologies.com. Reports should include relevant details where safe to do so. Retaliation against a person who raises a concern in good faith is prohibited.
5. Review and corrective action
Finch will review reports promptly and sensitively, protect the privacy of those involved as far as practicable, and take appropriate action. Where a child may be at risk, the response will prioritise the child’s safety and may involve appropriate authorities or specialist organisations as required by law.
