Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

We are committed to ensuring that there is no Modern-Day slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Modern-Day Slavery Act Policy Statement reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

Formal procedures concerning slavery and human trafficking have been established, including disciplinary procedures where they are breached. Additional procedures ensure that this policy is understood and communicated to all levels, and that it is regularly reviewed by us to ensure its continuing suitability and relevance to the company activities

We will achieve these aims by our initiative to identify and mitigate risk in the following ways (but not limited to):

• More stringent vetting and investigation of our supply chain (contractors, sub-contractors, policies, contracts etc.)
• Continually audit & review our practices for checking you are paid at least the minimum wage and have the right to work.
• We encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers.
• We will not knowingly support or deal with any business involved in slavery or human trafficking.
• We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. We expect all those in our supply chain and contractors comply to with our values.

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to relevant members of staff. All Directors have been briefed on the subject.

This policy is in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement.
