This Modern Slavery Policy explains how Pin-It Pastry Limited works to prevent modern slavery, forced labour and human exploitation within our business and supply chain.
Pin-It Pastry Limited conducts its business responsibly, ethically and with respect for human rights. Therefore, we maintain zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude or exploitation within our operations or supply chains.
In addition, we recognise that businesses play an important role in identifying and reducing the risk of exploitation. We therefore take proportionate and practical steps to prevent modern slavery wherever we operate or source goods and services.
Modern slavery describes serious forms of exploitation where threats, coercion, deception, abuse of vulnerability or other forms of control prevent individuals from freely leaving or refusing a situation.
For example, modern slavery can include:
Modern slavery can occur in any country, industry or supply chain. As a result, businesses must remain alert to risks even where no obvious signs of exploitation exist.
Pin-It Pastry Limited is a UK food manufacturer based in Bridgend, South Wales. We produce frozen pastry products for bakery, foodservice and manufacturing customers.
Our commitment to responsible business extends to our employees, temporary and agency workers, contractors, suppliers and other organisations with whom we work.
Accordingly, we will not knowingly engage with any organisation involved in slavery, human trafficking, forced labour or serious labour exploitation.
Our supply chain includes organisations that provide ingredients, packaging, equipment, transport, professional services and other goods or services that support our manufacturing activities.
Modern slavery risks can vary considerably. For example, relevant factors may include:
Therefore, we take a risk-based approach when assessing suppliers and business relationships.
We expect suppliers and contractors working with Pin-It Pastry to:
Furthermore, where a supplier falls within the statutory requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we may request and review its published Modern Slavery Statement.
We may carry out proportionate due diligence when appointing or reviewing suppliers.
Depending on the level of risk, this may include:
Consequently, the level of due diligence will reflect both the nature of the relationship and the potential level of risk.
We support fair and lawful employment practices within our own business.
Our recruitment processes should operate transparently and in accordance with applicable UK employment and immigration requirements.
Where we use recruitment agencies or labour providers, we expect them to operate lawfully and carry out appropriate checks on the workers they supply.
In addition, workers should not have to pay inappropriate recruitment fees, surrender identity documents or accept coercive working arrangements as a condition of employment.
Modern slavery is not always obvious. Therefore, employees and relevant business partners should remain alert to possible indicators.
Potential warning signs may include situations where a person:
One indicator does not necessarily prove that modern slavery is occurring. However, employees should report genuine concerns so that the business can consider them appropriately.
Anyone who becomes aware of or suspects modern slavery, human trafficking or labour exploitation connected with Pin-It Pastry or its supply chain should raise the concern as soon as possible.
Employees may report concerns to:
We take concerns raised genuinely and in good faith seriously.
Moreover, Pin-It Pastry will not tolerate retaliation, victimisation or unfair treatment against anyone who raises a genuine concern.
Where we identify a potential modern-slavery issue, we will consider the circumstances carefully and decide on an appropriate response.
Depending on the situation, we may:
Our priority will remain the safety and welfare of any potential victim.
Where possible, we will also seek to address the underlying problem rather than take action that could unintentionally place affected workers at greater risk.
We aim to ensure that employees whose roles involve recruitment, purchasing, supplier management or other higher-risk areas understand the importance of identifying and reporting potential concerns.
Accordingly, we may provide suitable information, guidance or training based on an individual’s responsibilities and level of risk exposure.
Our wider company policies and procedures support this Modern Slavery Policy.
In particular, these may include policies relating to:
Together, these measures promote responsible employment practices and provide clear routes for raising concerns.
Managing modern-slavery risk requires ongoing attention.
Therefore, we periodically review our approach and consider:
Where we identify weaknesses or increased risks, we will consider proportionate measures to improve our controls.
Pin-It Pastry supports the objectives and principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We will continue to review our obligations as the business develops. Furthermore, we will comply with applicable statutory reporting requirements where the law requires us to do so.
Even where a statutory reporting threshold does not apply in a particular financial year, we remain committed to identifying, preventing and addressing modern-slavery risks within our operations and supply chain.
We will review this Modern Slavery Policy periodically.
Where necessary, we will update it to reflect changes in legislation, government guidance, our business operations, supply-chain arrangements or identified risks.
