MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

This Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking statement is made on behalf of Dale Products Limited.

Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Slavery is a crime and a gross violation of fundamental human rights.  Dale Products adopts a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our company activities.  We recognise our responsibility to ensure as far as possible that we conduct business with companies who adhere to the highest ethical standards and who do not use illegal / abusive practices, or enforced / child labour.  As a minimum standard, Dale Products expects our business partners to adhere to the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

Our Supply Chains

All of the activity of Dale Products is carried out in Europe, which is considered low risk in relation to modern slavery in our industry.

Dale Products works closely with its key suppliers and customers, building strong relationships to understand their operations, business ethics and the commercial aspects of their businesses.  We will work with industry organisations to identify major risks and good industry practices.

Our Policies on Slavery & Human Trafficking

We seek to provide a safe, healthy and desirable workplace with working conditions and payment of wages and benefits that meet or exceed the minimum standards required of local laws and regulation.  Our employees are recruited, selected, and promoted based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria.  No harassment or discrimination of any kind is tolerated.  In the case of disability or chronic illness, employees are supported to work for as long as medically fit, in available work with appropriate adaptations.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

We will continue to monitor our supply chains in all our businesses for risks of slavery and human trafficking.

Training

To maintain awareness and ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking across our businesses, we train relevant members of staff in our Business Principles policy. The policy is regularly reviewed with our employees who have responsibility for business contacts with customers and suppliers.

Our business principles policy is visible to all our employees.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Dale Products slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending December 2021, having been approved by the Board of Directors.
