Its staff are largely directly employed and are not in any category which is generally seen to be vulnerable to modern slavery in this country. Therefore, the focus is to ensure there are robust policies and procedures in place for LDG\u2019s contractors and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>LDG continues to hire a number of temporary agency workers to its warehouse operations, to meet the demands through peak trading periods. These workers were sourced via one of several approved recruitment agencies.<\/p>\n<p>When recruiting, LDG requires that all recruitment agencies sign terms and conditions which provide an assurance of their compliance with legislation to prevent slavery and human trafficking. All recruitment agencies have all signed those terms and conditions. LDG does not believe there are any recruitment activities which may be considered high risk.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its annual pay review policy, LDG undertakes an audit to ensure all employees are paid at least National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage in line with statutory requirements. In 2024, LDG became a Real Living Wage employer and paid all employees\u2019 at least \u00a312.00 per hour which is at least \u00a30.56 per hour above the National Living Wage.<\/p>\n<p>LDG also ensures that all employees\u2019 working hours are managed in line with the Working Time Regulations 1998.<\/p>\n<p>LDG ensures that every employee or temporary worker has the right to work in the UK, in line with Home Office guidance for the Prevention of Illegal Working.<\/p>\n<p>LDG ensures that all employees are familiar with its policies and procedures and conduct themselves in a way which positively reflects LDG\u2019s values as a fair, non-discriminatory, and equal opportunities employer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Policies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LDG has a number of internal policies to ensure that it conducts business in an ethical and transparent manner. LDG operates robust recruitment practices including conducting Right to Work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will. These requirements extend to 3rd party providers. Our internal policies include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Employee Handbook<br \/>\n\u2022 Disciplinary Policy<br \/>\n\u2022 Resolution Policy<br \/>\n\u2022 Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy<br \/>\n\u2022 Health &amp; Safety Policy<br \/>\n\u2022 Equal Opportunity &amp; Dignity at Work Policy<br \/>\n\u2022 Whistleblowing Policy<br \/>\n\u2022 Anti-Slavery &amp; Human Trafficking Agreement &amp; Declaration<\/p>\n<p>These policies clearly outline the expectation and potential outcomes of intervention should a policy be breached. Any reporting will be fully investigated, and appropriate action taken. This may include notifying the appropriate statutory or legal entities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Due Diligence:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LDG enjoys well-established and stable working relationships with key suppliers in all its territories and has achieved the support of its suppliers to the approach to preventing slavery and human trafficking. All goods are manufactured in modern factories with up-to-date approaches to corporate, social, and environmental matters.<\/p>\n<p>LDG wants to ensure that members of its supply chain equally support its company values.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2018, LDG has been including declarations in all its supply agreements and purchasing terms and conditions, to request compliance in respect of legislation to prevent slavery and human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2024, LDG has continued to secure signed declarations from all its recruitment agencies and its suppliers ensuring there is a contractual commitment in place with its suppliers, requiring their compliance with the terms and requirements of the Modern Slavery Act.<\/p>\n<p>LDG continues to remain compliant by monitoring and reviewing data published in slavery advisory resources and government agency websites, to identify potential or increased slavery risks presented by any new region where it looks to source from. LDG can then tailor the audit process to increase the interrogation level around employment, slavery, and general working practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Training and Effectiveness of LDG\u2019s Anti-Slavery Measures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All LDG employees who are involved in procurement have completed training on ethical procurement, which includes Modern Slavery. This training raised awareness of ethical procurement, the nature and impact of modern slavery on an organisation and its supply chains, and how the risks of modern slavery might arise in an organisation\u2019s supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>All LDG employees are encouraged to report any concerns regarding slavery and\/or human trafficking in accordance with LDG\u2019s whistleblowing policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planned Activity for 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LDG will continue to secure signed declarations from its suppliers to ensure that there is a contractual commitment in place with all its suppliers, requiring their compliance with the terms and requirements of the Modern Slavery Act.<\/p>\n<p>For those suppliers whose have already signed declarations, LDG will conduct a review of the current agreements and issue reminders on:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Supplier obligations to comply and implement controls to prevent modern slavery<br \/>\n\u2022 Ensuring that all employment is voluntary<br \/>\n\u2022 Confirming that employees have the right to leave any work and have the ability to terminate their employment upon expiry of reasonable notice.<\/p>\n<p>LDG will ensure that employees involved in procurement undergo refresher training on ethical procurement.<\/p>\n<p>LDG will aim to develop workforce awareness and understanding of modern slavery; requiring all employees to read a copy of the home office guide: \u2018Modern Slavery Awareness &amp; Victim Identification Guidance\u2019 and a complete a short knowledge-based assessment to demonstrate their understanding. This guidance covers the definition of modern slavery and the prevalent types in the UK, spotting the signs of modern slavery, and victims and barriers to reporting.<\/p>\n<p>LDG recognises the need to continually develop additional tools to effectively engage suppliers, particularly those in high risk countries.
