This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that SLIK-PAK LIMITED has taken, and is continuing to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our business or supply chains.
Our business
SLIK-PAK LIMITED is a small business operating in the supply of Body Bags and Laundry Bags. We are based in the United Kingdom and primarily serve customers in the UK, however we also ship internationally. Our business structure is straightforward, with a small, close-knit team, and our operations are entirely UK-based.
Our Commitment
We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. Although we are a small business and not legally required to publish a statement, we believe it is our ethical duty to ensure our operations uphold human rights and dignity.
Our Supply Chain
We source materials and services from a limited number of trusted suppliers who we have worked with for decades. Our trusted suppliers undergo SMETA audits and are SEDEX registered. They are considered ultra low risk in terms of modern slavery. Nonetheless, we recognise that risk can exist in any supply chain, particularly in lower tiers.
Due Diligence and Risk Management
To manage the risk of modern slavery:
We aim to work only with suppliers who uphold fair labour practices.
Where appropriate, we may ask suppliers to confirm their own compliance with the Modern Slavery Act or equivalent standards.
We remain vigilant to any signs of labour exploitation and maintain open lines of communication with employees and suppliers.
Policies and Training
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Our workplace policies promote ethical behaviour and a culture of respect and integrity. Although our size does not necessitate formal training programmes, our team is encouraged to report any concerns about unethical practices, including suspected cases of modern slavery.
Looking Ahead
As we grow, we will continue to assess our policies and processes to strengthen our efforts against modern slavery. We are committed to ethical practices and transparency in all aspects of our operations.
