Townhouse Blanket Co. Ltd is committed to acting responsibly and upholding the highest ethical standards across our business and supply chain. We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and will continue to strengthen our policies and practices to meet this commitment.
- Introduction
At Townhouse Blanket Co. Ltd ("we," "us," "our"), we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We recognize our responsibility under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 to ensure that no form of forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation is present within our organization or those we work with. Our goal is to act ethically, with integrity, and with transparency in all our business operations.
- Our Business and Supply Chain
Townhouse Blanket Co. Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in high-quality, luxurious, and modern heirloom blankets. Our products are crafted with care, and we maintain close relationships with all our suppliers and partners to ensure ethical practices across our supply chain.
We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical standards, human rights, and fair labor practices. While our business operates primarily in the UK, we source materials and services both locally and internationally.
- Our Commitment
We are committed to:
- Complying with all relevant UK laws and regulations relating to modern slavery and human trafficking.
- Ensuring that our supply chain upholds our values and operates with respect for human rights.
- Acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, including establishing controls to prevent slavery and human trafficking.
- Conducting appropriate due diligence on all current and potential suppliers.
- Policies and Practices
We have implemented policies and practices designed to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business, including:
- Supplier Code of Conduct: All suppliers are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits forced labor, human trafficking, and child labor. Suppliers must also meet our standards for safe working conditions, fair wages, and non-discrimination.
- Employee Training: We provide training to our team members on identifying and addressing the risks of modern slavery within our supply chain. This helps ensure that all employees are aware of our commitment to ethical sourcing.
- Supplier Due Diligence: Before partnering with any new supplier, we conduct a thorough assessment of their labor practices, ethical standards, and compliance with our anti-slavery policies.
- Our Approach to Risk Assessment
We recognize that certain aspects of our supply chain may present a higher risk of modern slavery or human trafficking. To mitigate these risks, we conduct regular assessments of:
- Our supply chain partners and any new suppliers.
- High-risk geographical regions, where local labor practices may not align with our standards.
- Monitoring and Audits
To ensure compliance with our policies, we periodically audit our suppliers and partners. These audits help us assess whether they meet our standards on modern slavery and human rights. Non-compliance with our policies may result in the termination of supplier contracts.
- Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone who suspects unethical practices within our supply chain to report their concerns. Employees can report any issues to management, and we provide clear, accessible channels for concerns related to modern slavery or trafficking to be raised confidentially.
- Review of This Policy
We regularly review and update our Modern Slavery Policy to reflect changes in UK law and to continuously improve our approach to ethical sourcing and human rights.
