We are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. We recognise that as well as being a legal requirement, providing this modern slavery and human trafficking statement will help us to:
- consider the steps we need to take to eliminate modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain;
- enhance our reputation and brands;
- be more transparent and accountable to our investors, employees and customers; and
- develop more responsive, stable and innovative supply chains.
We want to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.
Information about us
We are a reseller and retailer of various products in the technology sector, predominantly Samsung goods and services. We have hundreds of employees.
Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains include Samsung as a manufacturer and other smaller third-party accessory distributors.
Our business
To identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business, we adopt an organisational culture where whistle blowers are protected, and which encourages employees to bring modern slavery and human trafficking issues to our attention.
The Future
We are always looking for ways we can improve our business. With this in mind, following a review of the effectiveness of the steps we have taken this year to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or our business, we are looking into taking the following further steps to combat slavery and human trafficking in the future:
- providing training to key members of staff in connection with modern slavery and human trafficking issues likely to affect our business;
- reviewing the modern slavery clauses we use in our contracts with key suppliers to ensure they are robust and reflect best practice; and
- reviewing the practices of our suppliers on a regular basis to ensure they remain compliant with the law and our ethical standards.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 30 April 2016.
Signed on behalf of the Board of Directors of Partner Retail Services Limited
