Anti-Trafficking & Modern Slavery Policy
Policy Statement
AMK Global Group is committed to preventing human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of modern slavery within its operations, recruitment practices, and global partner networks. As a regulated immigration and recruitment advisory firm operating across Canada, the United Kingdom, and international markets, AMK Global maintains strict ethical and compliance standards to ensure that all employment opportunities and immigration services are conducted lawfully, transparently, and with respect for human dignity. Human trafficking, exploitation, or coercion in any form is strictly prohibited.

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment
AMK Global conducts due diligence to minimise trafficking risks through:
- Verification of employer legitimacy and compliance
