Supplier Adherence to Our Values

We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values we make them aware of our requirements at the outset of them doing business with us.

Training

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we have provided training to the relevant members of staff and to new staff on joining at Induction.

Our Effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking

Although we believe that our actions have proven effective to date, we recognise there is no room for complacency and we remain vigilant to potential threats.

Following a review of the effectiveness of the steps we have taken to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains we intend to take the following further steps to combat slavery and human trafficking

Highlight our policy and encourage vigilance to all employees annually through our Tool Talk process. This will reach every member of staff and refresh their knowledge.
