Policies

We operate several internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner.

These include the following:

  • Recruitment & Selection policy – We conduct checks on all prospective employees to verify that they are eligible to work in the UK.
  • Supplier Code of Conduct – We operate this policy to ensure our suppliers operate in full compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations of the countries in which they operate, and to seek similar commitments across their own supply chain.
  • Whistleblowing Policy – We operate this policy so that employees are able to raise concerns about how employees are being treated or practices within our business or our supply chains without fear of reprisal.
  • Fair Treatment Policy – We are committed to the fair treatment of all our employees. This policy reflects our core values and expected behaviours of all employees. This policy makes it clear that we have a zero-tolerance approach to modem slavery.
  • Responsible Sourcing Policy – We want to ensure that all potential suppliers are committed to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place within their own supply chains. Our Responsible Sourcing Policy and supporting procedures sets out controls and checks undertaken to help verify this.

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

We do not tolerate slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain. Where there is evidence of failure to comply with our policies and procedures by any of our suppliers, we will require the supplier to correct the non-compliance, or we will remove them from our supply chain.
