Modern Slavery Statement

Overview

The Modern Slavery Act was introduced in the United Kingdom in 2015. Designed to target slavery and human trafficking in the UK, the law introduced tough penalties and sentences for offences relating to slavery and human trafficking.

Large UK businesses are required to publish an annual statement to ensure transparency across their entire supply chain.

FJL Recycling Ltd is recognised for its responsible business practices, including with regard to human rights.

In line with the Modern Slavery Act, FJL Recycling Ltd has published its own statement. In it we describe the steps we have taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from taking place in our business and supply chains.

Zero tolerance

FJL Recycling Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and is committed to preventing acts of slavery and human trafficking from occurring within both its business and supply chain. We impose the same high standards on our contractors, suppliers and other business partners.

Due diligence processes

We:

• Operate strict procurement processes, ensuring suppliers comply with all applicable laws and standards, including those which relate to the Modern Slavery Act.
• Expect our suppliers to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes in place within their own businesses, and to cascade those policies to their own suppliers.
• Have completed an analysis of assurance information from existing suppliers and partners and followed up where relevant.
• Provide regular training in respect of the Modern Slavery Act to our Procurement Team.
• Have added a specific item relating to the Modern Slavery Act to the agenda of contract management meetings with suppliers, enabling us to be kept informed of any changes.
• Include appropriate terms in our contractual documentation, obliging suppliers and contractors to comply with the Modern Slavery Act and reserving the right for FJL Recycling Ltd to audit suppliers and contractors where we consider it appropriate.
• Encourage our drivers and staff to identify and report any potential breaches of FJL Recycling Ltd's anti-slavery policy statement.
• Protect whistle blowers through our confidential reporting process.

The above procedures are designed to:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas in our business and supply chains.
• Reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains.
• Monitor potential risk areas in our business and supply chains.
• Provide adequate protection for whistle blowers.
