Trimming London Modern Slavery Statement

Trimming London affirms a clear and uncompromising commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement and anti-slavery policy describes the steps we take to identify, prevent and respond to risks of exploitation. We recognise that a strong Trimming London modern slavery statement requires ongoing vigilance, collaboration with suppliers and stakeholders, and continuous improvement of our controls and processes.

Zero‑Tolerance Policy

Our organisation operates a strict zero-tolerance approach to any form of exploitation. We will not accept forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or any abusive labour practices. Breaches of this zero tolerance policy result in immediate investigation and proportionate action up to contract termination and referral to law enforcement where required. Managers are mandated to escalate suspected non-compliance and ensure compliance with our slavery and human trafficking policy at every level of procurement and employment.

We require all suppliers and contractors to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct and to the standards set out in this anti-modern slavery statement. Key supplier controls include:

• Mandatory pre-engagement due diligence and modern slavery risk assessment for new suppliers;
• Contractual clauses that require compliance with our anti-slavery statement and permit audit and inspection;
• Regular supplier audits, supplier performance reviews and corrective action plans where issues are identified;
• Supply chain transparency requirements to disclose labour sourcing and subcontractors.

We operate a robust programme of supplier audits to verify working conditions, recruitment practices, wage payments and worker protections. Audits combine desktop reviews, documentation checks and on-site visits carried out by trained internal auditors or accredited third-party auditors. High-risk suppliers are audited more frequently and are assigned a remediation timeline; persistent failures lead to contract suspension or termination. Audit findings feed into a supplier risk rating that informs future procurement decisions and contract renewals.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Remediation

Our due diligence includes mapping our supply chain to identify high-risk categories and geographies, verifying recruitment agencies, and monitoring subcontractor chains. Where issues are found we implement corrective action plans with clear milestones and independent verification. We work collaboratively with suppliers to remediate issues, protect affected workers and, where necessary, transition to alternative suppliers if remediation is not achieved.

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for workers, suppliers and stakeholders to raise concerns about modern slavery and labour exploitation. Reports are accepted through internal whistleblowing systems, anonymous reporting mechanisms and formal escalation to trained compliance teams. All reports are investigated promptly, documented and, where appropriate, escalated to relevant authorities. We adhere to strict non-retaliation protections and provide support to affected individuals throughout the investigation and remediation process.

Embedding these standards requires ongoing training and accountability. We provide regular training for procurement, HR and operations teams, including induction modules for new staff and refresher training for existing personnel. Senior leadership receives briefings on exposure and mitigation, and managers are responsible for ensuring supplier adherence to our modern slavery policy. Staff are encouraged to remain vigilant and to report concerns without fear of reprisal.

Annual Review and Performance Monitoring Each year we conduct a formal review of this statement and our anti-slavery measures to evaluate effectiveness, incorporate lessons learned and update risk assessments. The annual review considers audit outcomes, remedial action effectiveness, incident reports and KPIs such as the number of audits completed, remediation closure rates and supplier compliance levels. Findings are reported to senior governance bodies and inform our forward programme.

In conclusion, this Trimming London anti-slavery and human trafficking statement sets out a sustained commitment to preventing modern slavery across our business and supply chain. We will continue to enhance our due diligence, enforce our zero-tolerance policy, expand supplier audits and maintain secure reporting channels. Through annual review and continuous collaboration with partners, we aim to reduce risk and ensure ethical, transparent supply chains.
