Modern Slavery Policy

We expect all who have, or seek to have a relationship with our company to familiarise themselves with this policy, and to act at all times in a way that is consistent with its values. We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our relationships, whether that be directly with our customers or dealing with external suppliers. We implement and enforce effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our own business, or indeed anywhere throughout our wider supply chain, nationally and internationally.

The prevention and detection of modern slavery in any part of our company or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. Due to the nature of our business and our tightly controlled supply chains, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of being influenced by modern slavery. Our trading policies aims to ensure that ethical standards are embedded into the culture of our business, and we aim to work with suppliers who treat their obligations towards modern slavery with the same importance that we do. We understand that we have a continuing responsibility to assess and mitigate the risks.

We strive to encourage openness and honesty, and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery is (or may be) taking place in any part of our own business or in any part of our supply chain. We are within our rights to terminate any relationship with individuals, partner companies, suppliers or anyone working on our behalf of our company if they breach this policy, and any employee doing so will face disciplinary action.
