OUR COMMITMENT
We respect the environment, the communities in which we operate, and our employees’ human rights, and we oppose corruption.

We are also committed to taking steps to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our supply chain or in any part of our business.
RESPONSIBILITY
The company Directors have overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it.
Management at all levels have primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery.
COMPLIANCE
The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. Employees are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
Employees are encouraged to raise concerns about any suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business or the supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage. If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred or that it may occur you must notify management or report it in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible.
RISKS
Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
Through our recruitment policy, we ensure that our business employment practice is free from slavery. We further commit to pay all our staff from the commencement of employment the recognised national living wage, according to the Living Wage Accreditation requirements.
Through our procurement policy and supplier evaluation procedures, the risk of being affected by slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains is very low. This is because the nature of most of our suppliers are established international manufacturers, abiding by the same laws and regulations as our company. We do, however, recognise the need for continued monitoring and due diligence, and carry out annual supplier reviews to ensure that our supply chains continue to operate in accordance with the laws and regulations.
Compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 is a mandatory requirement of the selection and ongoing evaluation of our suppliers.
