We are a part of the Jonstar group of companies, which has it’s head office at 21 Wellington Street, Leicester, LE1 6HH, UK. We have a total of five employees and operate in the UK only.

We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking are grave violations of human rights and are committed to preventing such practices within our operations and supply chains. This policy outlines our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing risks of modern slavery across all aspects of our business.

Our Commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.
We are committed to:

• Conducting our business ethically, responsibly, and with integrity.
• Ensuring there is no modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains.
• Implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard against modern slavery risks.
• Meeting the requirements of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Supply Chain

Our supply chain includes:

• Approved sub-contractor network
• Manufacturers of electrical goods
• Distributors of electrical goods
• Other associated services.

We acknowledge that some elements of our supply chain may present higher risks for modern slavery, and we take steps to monitor and mitigate these.

Due Diligence

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have embedded in our process’s awareness of slavery and human trafficking.  This includes it being considered in our recruitment process, sub-contractor qualification and supplier audits.

The systems we have in place systems aid us to:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains
• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains
• Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains
• Protect whistle blowers

Identifying Risks to the Business and their Controls

Even as a small business, we recognise that we have to identify areas that can expose Jonstar to modern slavery and human trafficking issues.  We recognise the importance to be aware of its presence and to actively mitigate against it, as such we have identified areas of the business where modern slavery issues may arise and what controls are in place to reduce the likelihood of exposure.

• Site Audits are carried out for regular suppliers.

Medium Risk: Subcontracted Labour

• Daily safe starts are always completed to assess working conditions and concerns.
• Pre-Qualification Questionnaires & Subcontractor Agreements are completed when onboarding subcontractors.
• We annually review subcontractors.

Responsibilities

Training and Awareness

We provide ongoing training for employees, managers, and procurement staff to help them:

• Recognise the signs of modern slavery and exploitation.

All new employees are introduced to this policy during induction.

All reports are investigated promptly and treated sensitively. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

This policy will be reviewed annually and updated as required to ensure ongoing compliance with UK legislation and best practice.
