13 Anti-slavery

13.1 As an organisation, are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking occurring within our organisation and to tackling the risk of occurrence in our supply chain. This clause 13 sets out measures we will take towards this and our expectations of our staff and third parties with whom we work.

13.2 Modern slavery is a complex and sophisticated crime and tackling it requires all of us to play a part. At first glance, you may think this whole subject is irrelevant to us, but it’s not. There is no typical victim and some victims do not understand they have been exploited and are entitled to help and support.

13.3 The following key signs could indicate that someone may be a slavery or trafficking victim:

13.3.1 the person is not in possession of their own passport, identification or travel documents;

13.3.2 the person is acting as though they are being instructed or coached by someone else;

13.3.3 they allow others to speak for them when spoken to directly;

13.3.4 they are dropped off at and collected from work;

13.3.5 the person is withdrawn or they appear frightened;

13.3.6 the person does not seem to be able to contact friends or family freely; and/or

13.3.7 the person has limited social interaction or contact with people outside their immediate environment.

13.4 At a very basic level, of course preventing exploitation and human trafficking, and protecting our workforce and reputation makes good business sense. More importantly, it is simply the right thing to do.

13.5 We at Autohome, our managers and colleagues have responsibilities to ensure our fellow workers are safeguarded, treated fairly and with dignity. Everyone working for us including contractors and consultants must observe this policy and be aware that turning a blind eye is unacceptable, and simply not an option. Through our strategy, vision and values we communicate our principles, which reflect our approach to modern slavery in our organisation, and in our supply chain.

14.1 We will try to resolve any disputes with you quickly and efficiently. If you are unhappy with us, please contact us as soon as possible using the contact details set out at the top of this page.

14.2 The laws of Saudi Arabia apply to these Terms, although if you are resident elsewhere you will retain the benefit of any mandatory protections given to you by the laws of that country.

14.3 Any disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Saudi Arabia. This means that you can choose whether to bring a claim in the courts of Saudi Arabia or in the courts of another part of the Saudi Arabia in which you live.
