We are absolutely committed to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our business and across our supply chains, in full compliance with S54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Included in this statement, you will find information about how we:
- Endorse ethical practices by setting out our commitment to acting with integrity in all business relationships to protect workers from abuse and exploitation.
- Identify At-Risk Functions (ARFs) such as manufacturing and low-skilled labour areas (e.g., cleaning, security, and gate line staff) for focused due diligence.
- Require supplier adherence by updating contractual terms to legally oblige our suppliers to abide by our Modern Slavery Policy (or their own equivalent).
- Provide targeted training for employees involved in procuring and managing ARFs, ensuring both outsourced and in-house staff receive relevant resources.
- Ensure transparency by providing a whistleblowing process, allowing all staff to confidentially and securely report any concerns they may have about modern slavery.
