They believe that there is some risk of slavery in their supply chains but they continue to remain vigilant and monitor this to ensure the risk remains low.
Although the statement mentions that they have considered the risk of modern slavery in their external labour workforce, they conclude that the risk is low.
"We have considered the risk of modern slavery occurring in our use of external labour via employment agencies and our direct suppliers. Given the organisations that we work with and the existing checks and balances that we apply in these areas we have concluded that the risks of modern slavery are low in this area."
The statement also includes that the company considers themselves to be at low risk of modern slavery because they are based in the UK.
"We have considered the risk of modern slavery in our own operations and we have concluded that, on the basis that we are a UK employer subject to UK employment protections and practices and already have well developed checks and balances within our business, we have a low risk of modern slavery occurring in our own operations.
