Here, you’ll find details about ethical trading in our business and supply chain, our commitment to the Modern Slavery Act, and the benchmark guidelines we adhere to.
At Ascot Wholesale, we welcomed the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015 and the responsibility it places on businesses like ours to be transparent about and publicly disclose what we do to tackle forced labour and human trafficking.
We distribute to businesses and individuals across the UK. We fully understand the potential for exploitation and slavery within workplaces, and this is why, as a rapidly expanding and growing business, we understand that it is essential that our staff are treated fairly and that their welfare is always at the centre of our business operations.
As a distributor, we sit in the middle of your supply chain, delivering high-quality goods from leading manufacturers. We understand our commitment to upholding ethical trading practices directly impacts your business’s ethical trading policy.
As such, we’re committed to working closely with our suppliers to understand their ethical trading values and working only with businesses that share our commitment to identifying and preventing crimes, especially modern slavery.
Each brand listed here at Ascot Wholesale has publicly committed to policies regarding the identification and tackling of modern slavery.
This is a key part of becoming an Ascot Wholesale partner company, and we carry out checks to ensure that all current and potential partner companies adhere to these rules as a minimum.
We have adopted the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code, a set of principles founded in alignment with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards designed to promote fair and ethical labour practices globally.
The ETI Base Code encompasses key rights and protections for workers, such as freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, the prohibition of forced labour, child labour, and discrimination, as well as mandates for safe working conditions, fair wages, reasonable working hours, and regular employment.
The ETI Base Code is a benchmark for companies committed to ethical sourcing and supply chain management. While we cannot solve modern slavery alone, commitment to this Base Code ensures we offer an example that other businesses can follow.
We’d be delighted to discuss in more detail our commitments to ethical trading and ensuring modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.
