Ongoing checks and reviews ensure continuous alignment with ethical sourcing practices.

We provide targeted training for all our employees to ensure they understand the signs of modern slavery and the steps to take if they have concerns. Our training program is reviewed and refreshed regularly, fostering a culture of vigilance and responsibility amongst our team. Every member of staff is encouraged to be proactive in spotting and reporting any suspicious activity within our operations or those of our suppliers.
