We make sure our suppliers are aware of our policies and adhere to the same standards.


Due Diligence

As part of our efforts to monitor and reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains, we have adopted the following due diligence procedures: 

  • Internal supplier audits.
  • External supplier audits.

Our due diligence procedures aim to:

  • Identify and action potential risks in our business and supply chains.
  • Monitor potential risks in our business and supply chains
  • Reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains.
  • Provide protection for whistleblowers.

 

Risk and Compliance

The Company has evaluated the nature and extent of its exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in its UK supply chain through:

  • Evaluating the slavery and human trafficking risks of each new supplier.
  • Reviewing on a regular basis all aspects of the supply chain based on supply chain mapping.

We do not consider that we operate in a high-risk environment because The risk level has been determined by assessing several factors.
UK-Based Suppliers: Our primary suppliers and manufacturers are located in the UK, where strong legal frameworks against modern slavery are in place.

Industry Type: We operate in the consumer goods sector, which is generally considered lower risk.

Supply Chain Complexity: While our direct suppliers are UK-based, potential risks may arise from lower-tier suppliers or raw material sourcing, which requires monitoring.

Due Diligence: We regularly conduct due diligence, and supplier assessments, and work towards enhancing supply chain transparency to address any potential risks.. 


We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains. Where there is evidence of failure to comply with our policies and procedures by any of our suppliers, we will require that supplier to remedy the non-compliance.

 

Effectiveness

The Company uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure its effectiveness and ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in its business and supply chains. These KPIs are as follows:

  • We will contact suppliers to enquire about their modern slavery practices every 12 months.
  • We will train our staff about modern slavery issues and increase awareness within the Company.
  • We will carry out a regular audit of suppliers - 100% of suppliers each year.
