Supply Chain
At Queensland Airports Limited (QAL), we are committed to operating with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights across our supply chain. Our suppliers play a vital role in helping us connect people, places, and communities, and we expect all partners to uphold the same high standards that guide our business.

QAL’s Principles for Suppliers set clear expectations for all individuals and entities providing goods or services to QAL. We require our suppliers to:
- Prioritise health, safety, and wellbeing for everyone working at or visiting our airports
- Conduct business ethically, working against all forms of corruption and maintaining transparency in all dealings
- Respect fundamental human rights, ensuring fair working conditions, prohibiting child and forced labour, and complying with all relevant workplace laws, including the Modern Slavery Act 2018
- Foster diversity, equity, and inclusion, and support a workplace free from discrimination and harassment
- Operate sustainably by minimising environmental impact and supporting QAL’s priorities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Uphold robust data protection and cyber security standards and manage risks to ensure business continuity
Our Approach to Modern Slavery
QAL is strongly opposed to modern slavery in all its forms. We are committed to respecting and supporting fundamental human rights and building relationships with businesses and stakeholders who share that commitment. Our approach includes integrating modern slavery risk management into our procurement and contract processes, including due diligence and assurance activities.
- Embedding minimum human rights standards into our procurement practices, such as prohibiting child and forced labour, ensuring compliance with local labour laws, and promoting freedom of association
- Providing mandatory modern slavery training for all employees and raising awareness among stakeholders
- Collaborating with suppliers, business partners, and relevant agencies to identify, assess, and address modern slavery risks
- Maintaining a Whistleblower Framework and hotline to enable the reporting and investigation of any concerns, including those related to modern slavery
