Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.

We are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes the Companies slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending October 2023.

Organisational structure

We are a provider of vehicle parts, components, paints and consumables to businesses around the UK. We also have a division which is concerned with the supply of PPE and janitorial consumables.

We operate throughout the UK and employ approximately 385 people with a current annual turnover of approximately £75 million pounds.

Our Supply chains

Our supply chains include products manufactured globally and imported into the UK by approved distributors, either directly from the original manufacturers or indirectly through an approved intermediate supply chain.

Our policies on slavery and human trafficking

We are committed to taking all reasonable steps to eliminate the potential for modern slavery or human trafficking to occur within our supply chains or in any part of our business.

As part of our ongoing obligation to report and analyse the measures implemented in our efforts to ensure that our business and supply chain are slavery free, we review our workplace policies and procedures to assess their effectiveness in identifying and tackling modern slavery issues.

Our workplace policies and procedures demonstrate our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. We have implemented a system of reviews to maintain effective systems and controls to ensure (as far as possible) that slavery and human trafficking does not operate within our supply chains.

As part of our modern slavery initiatives, Fleet Factors have implemented systems to:

• Assist us to identify, assess, monitor and mitigate potential areas of risk within our supply chains.


• Provide training and information to our employees to inform them about the issues around modern slavery and to implement systems to protect whistle blowers who might report suspected cases of modern slavery.

Supplier adherence to our values

Fleet Factors have zero tolerance to modern slavery and human trafficking within our business.

Training

To ensure a high-level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we intend to provide training to our staff and review this subject with each of our suppliers.

Our effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking

We review slavery and human trafficking with our suppliers at review meetings to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains.

Further steps

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business.
