Promoting Human Rights

At Quest, we make a commitment every day to uphold the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in our relationships with our customers, employees and vendors. As all human beings should be treated with dignity and respect, Quest considers that modern slavery and human trafficking are abhorrent crimes that inflict unacceptable harm on vulnerable adults and children. We support the principles of the UK Modern Slavery Act of 2015 (MSA), and we confirm that we are in compliance with the MSA and all related laws wherever we do business.

Our Code of Conduct and Policies

Our reputation and our success depend upon the honesty, integrity and respect brought to the job by every person associated with Quest. It is therefore essential that employees, contractors and anyone who purports to act on Quest’s behalf in any fashion understand, adhere and comply with all laws and regulatory requirements in every country where Quest operates. We require strict compliance with all policies, and ethical principles relating to anti-slavery standards, and we include those principles in the foundation of our company culture.

In our Code of Conduct, Quest is committed to respecting and promoting human rights by
