Modern slavery statement for financial year 2021/22

This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Roberts and Denny’s (London) Ltd has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.

Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. Roberts and Denny’s has a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and
transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.

Our business Roberts and Denny’s are a removals and storage company operating across the United Kingdom.

Our high-risk areas

Employment of all staff can be high risk and we operate a positive checking and reporting system in relation to all areas of modern slavery.

Our policies

We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner.
These include:

1. Anti-slavery policy. This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees
   can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help.
2. Recruitment policy. We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK
   checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
3. Whistleblowing policy. We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns
   about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals.
4. Code of business conduct. This code explains the manner in which we behave as an organisation and how we
   expect our employees and suppliers to act.]

Our suppliers

Roberts and Denny’s operates a supplier policy and maintains a preferred supplier list. We conduct due diligence on all
suppliers before allowing them to become a preferred supplier. This due diligence includes an online search to ensure that
particular organisation has never been convicted of offenses relating to modern slavery [and on site audits which include a review of working conditions]. Our anti-slavery policy forms part of our contract with all suppliers and they are required to
confirm that no part of their business operations contradicts this policy.
In addition to the above, as part of our contract with suppliers, we require that they confirm to us that:

1. They have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business
2. They hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery
3. (For UK based suppliers) They pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate)
4. (For international suppliers) They pay their employees any prevailing minimum wage applicable within their country of operations
5. We may terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light]

Training

We regularly conduct training for our procurement/buying teams so that they understand the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain.

Our performance indicators

We will know the effectiveness of the steps that we are taking to ensure that slavery and/or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain if:

• No reports are received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.
