As part of the company's due diligence process we have written to our supply chain to ensure our suppliers are aware of the The Modern Slavery Act 2015. This communication sets out our requirement for suppliers to be committed to the rights and well-being of their employees and those within their own direct supply chain.
Furthermore, the communication requests supplier's commitment to ensure the appropriate steps are taken to ensure that everyone who works within their business or direct supply chain benefits from a working environment in which their fundamental rights and freedoms are respected. All employees must be legally entitled to work, registered to pay the appropriate tax and National Insurance contributions and that relevant legislation relating to health and safety, Working Time Regulations, pension enrolment and minimum wage are followed.
