MODERN SLAVERY ACT 2015 STATEMENT
This statement is made on behalf of the Stapleton's (Tyre Services) Limited.
Our business involves the distribution and wholesaling of tyres across the UK. Our supply chain therefore primarily involves the purchase and distribution of tyres. It is complex and global in nature.
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or elsewhere in our business. Our Anti-slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in our business relationships. This is supported by our policies on bribery and corruption.
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we endeavour to:
- Identify and assess potential risk aweas in out supply chains;
- Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains;
- Protect whistle blowers.
In addition to our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy, there is a modern slavery learning module for senior leadership and senior management on our in-house training system.
Following a review of our training and procedures, we intend to take the following steps:
- To continue to review our policies in line with Government guidance and best practice, making changes where necessary;
- To continue to educate our employees and promote awareness of our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy;
- Ensure that our suppliers and customers are aware of our policies;
- Create a Modern Slavery Awareness training module to be rolled out to all staff; and
- Continue to ensure that Anti-Slavery/Modern Slavery awareness is an integral part of our onboarding procedures for suppliers.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Group's slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31 March 2021.
