Anti-Slavery Statement

 

Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains include UK‑based and international suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners within the printer consumables and office supplies sector.

We recognise that some global supply chains present a higher risk of modern slavery and take proportionate steps to manage those risks.

 

Due Diligence and Risk Management
We have procedures in place to identify, prevent, and reduce the risk of modern slavery, including:

– Assessing suppliers before entering into a business relationship

– Requiring suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, covering labour standards, human rights, and ethical working practices

– Requesting confirmation of compliance with the Modern Slavery Act

– Carrying out enhanced due diligence where suppliers operate in higher risk regions

– Ongoing supplier monitoring and review

– Where non‑compliance is identified, we take appropriate remedial action. Serious or continued breaches will result in termination of the relationship.

Training and Awareness
To support our approach, key employees involved in purchasing and supplier management receive modern slavery awareness training and have completed e-learning certification in 2025. This helps ensure risks are identified early and addressed appropriately.

 

Ongoing Actions and Future Focus
Over the coming year, we will continue to strengthen our approach by:

– Ensuring relevant staff complete modern slavery training

– Reviewing and improving our supplier code of conduct to further raise the standards of our supply base.

– Re‑confirming supplier compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct

– Requesting updated information from suppliers on their policies and procedures

– Reviewing and updating this statement annually

 

Statement Approval
This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors
of Higham and Higham Ltd and will be reviewed annually.
