ANY USE OF SLAVE OR TRAFFICKED LABOUR IS ABSOLUTELY ABHORRENT TO DUNELM. WE TAKE THE ISSUE VERY SERIOUSLY, AND WE ARE FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF ANY MEASURES TO ERADICATE THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54, Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Dunelm Group plc (the “Company”) has taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our supply chain or in any part of our business. Governance Modern day slavery is a consideration for the whole of Dunelm’s business: the premises from which we operate, the supply chain for the products which we sell and which we use, and the services which we outsource. For this reason, our approach to modern day slavery is managed by a working party consisting of the Company Secretary, the Product Director, a People Business Partner and the Technology Manager, with valuable input from departments around the business. The Company Secretary reports to the Executive Board and the Dunelm Group Board on modern day slavery issues. The Dunelm Group Board has approved this statement and formally reviews policy and performance on ethical trading and modern slavery annually.
