CleanHorizon: Modern Slavery Commitment

CleanHorizon: Modern Slavery Commitment

Ethical business. Responsible supply chains.

At AUK Hygiene, we believe that responsible business practices extend far beyond our own operations. We are committed to conducting business ethically, transparently and with integrity, while working to prevent modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking throughout our organisation and supply chain.

For procurement teams, supplier ethics are an increasingly important part of ESG assessments and supplier due diligence. Our commitment to modern slavery prevention demonstrates that we take our responsibilities seriously and actively work to ensure the people behind the products and services we provide are treated fairly and with respect.

As part of our wider CleanHorizon programme, we maintain policies and procedures designed to promote ethical sourcing, protect human rights and support responsible procurement practices across our supply chain.

Why modern slavery prevention matters

Why modern slavery prevention matters

Modern slavery remains a global issue affecting millions of people across a wide range of industries and supply chains.

Businesses have an important role to play in identifying risks, promoting ethical practices and ensuring suppliers operate responsibly. Procurement teams are increasingly expected to assess not only the products and services they purchase, but also the social and ethical standards of the organisations they partner with.

At AUK Hygiene, we recognise this responsibility and are committed to taking proactive steps to minimise the risk of modern slavery within our business and throughout our supply chain.

Our commitment to ethical sourcing

We believe that every individual has the right to work freely, safely and fairly.

Our approach to ethical sourcing is built on a commitment to transparency, accountability and responsible supplier relationships.

We work to promote transparency by:

  • Promoting fair treatment and respect for workers
  • Embedding ethical standards into procurement activities

These measures help strengthen our supply chain and support our commitment to responsible business practices.

Modern slavery prevention forms an important part of our wider governance framework.

By maintaining clear policies, defined responsibilities and ongoing supplier oversight, we ensure ethical considerations remain embedded within our decision-making processes.

This supports our wider commitment to:

  • Ethical business conduct
  • Strong corporate governance
  • Responsible procurement
  • ESG compliance
  • Supply chain accountability
  • Continuous improvement

Through these measures, we help create a culture of integrity that extends throughout our business and supply chain.

Supporting a More Responsible Future

Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is just one part of our wider approach to responsible business. Through our CleanHorizon programme, we continue to strengthen governance, improve supply chain transparency and promote ethical business practices across every area of our operation.

By working with responsible suppliers, maintaining robust due diligence processes and embedding ethical standards throughout our business, we are helping create a more transparent, accountable and sustainable supply chain for the future.
