Modern Slavery Statement and Policy

This statement is made on behalf of London Metals Ltd with regards to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 which requires employers to be transparent about their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking within their organisation and supply chains. London Metals is committed to working towards the eradication of slavery and human trafficking. This document acknowledges the legislation and laws implemented by the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and details the steps that the organisation is taking to work towards the provision of the Act. This 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 organisation or supply chains.

Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking

The company is committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors and business partners, and this is inferred through their agreement to follow company policies. We will expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same high standards. All employees and persons employed within London Metals are asked to familiarise themselves with company policy at the start of their employment or association and are contractually obligated to adhere to the company’s policies. We are satisfied from our own due diligence measures that there is no evidence of any act of modern-day slavery or human trafficking within our own organisation. London Metals will not knowingly support or deal with any businesses found to be involved with any acts of slavery or human trafficking. The company has a policy of zero-tolerance on matters of slavery and/or human trafficking and expects suppliers and associated businesses to comply with these values. The company also has a policy for the protection of whistle-blowers, to protect those raising the issue of slavery and human trafficking within the organisation or its suppliers.

To surmise, any suspected instance of modern slavery or human trafficking within the company or its suppliers must be reported to one of the directors, who will investigate and advise the appropriate people of any further actions.
