Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Business & Supply Chain

EGLO UK imports, warehouses and distributes lighting products. Its supply chain spans manufacturers in Europe and Asia, logistics partners, contractors and indirect service providers. Higher-risk areas include labour-intensive manufacturing and regions with lower labour protections.

Policies & Standards

The company has a robust policy framework, including a Supplier Code of Conduct, Whistleblowing Policy, anti-slavery contract clauses and ethical recruitment rules. All suppliers must comply with these standards

Due Diligence & Risk Management

EGLO UK uses a structured risk-assessment model to evaluate suppliers by geography, product type and labour risk. Due diligence includes onboarding checks, supplier questionnaires, audits, supply-chain mapping and enhanced scrutiny of high-risk partners.

Training & Awareness

Annual training is provided to procurement, operations and warehouse teams to help them recognise and report signs of modern slavery. Suppliers receive guidance on meeting EGLO’s expectations.

Effectiveness & KPIs

The company measures the success of its approach using KPIs, such as the percentage of supplier’s risk-assessed, audit coverage, and training completion. EGLO UK is working towards deeper supply-chain visibility and greater audit coverage.

Governance

The Board oversees modern-slavery compliance, with operational responsibility held by the Head of Operations and Procurement Director. The statement is approved by the Board annually and uploaded to the UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry.

Future Priorities

Next steps include expanding Tier-2 supplier mapping, increasing audit coverage, and strengthening worker-voice mechanisms across key supplier sites.
