In June, the UCC Board launched a comprehensive internal investigation into the recruitment practices of a third-party recruitment agency. Following this investigation, UCC issued a formal warning to the third-party agency and enforced an amended contract, which makes unambiguously clear the agency’s legal obligations towards ensuring ethical conduct in its recruitment practices.

The welfare of our employees is UCC’s foremost priority. We will continue to monitor recruitment practices across our operations. Unethical recruitment by any third-party organisation will not be tolerated at UCC.
