MODERN SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT
Packaged Sounds Group Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chain. This statement is made in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps we take to help ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our operations or those of our partners.
Our Business
Packaged Sounds Group Ltd is a group of companies specialising in the manufacture and supply of physical and digital media products, including vinyl records, packaging, and associated services. We operate across multiple territories and work with a network of suppliers and manufacturing partners globally.
Our Commitment
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency in all business dealings, and to implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery within our business and supply chain.
Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains include raw material suppliers, manufacturing partners, printing facilities, packaging providers, and logistics companies. While we recognise that certain areas of manufacturing and global supply chains can carry a higher risk, we actively work to reduce these risks through responsible sourcing and supplier engagement.
Due Diligence Processes
To identify and manage risk, we take proportionate steps to review and monitor our suppliers and partners. These steps include:
Risk Assessment and Management
We assess the risk of modern slavery by considering factors such as geographic location, industry sector, and the nature of the goods and services being provided. Where higher-risk areas are identified, we take additional steps to review the suitability of those suppliers and the safeguards in place.
Policies and Standards
We support our commitment to ethical business practices through internal policies and standards designed to encourage transparency and accountability. These may include policies relating to anti-slavery, whistleblowing, ethical conduct, and supplier expectations.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks within our organisation. Relevant team members are made aware of the signs of modern slavery and are encouraged to report any concerns.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage employees, suppliers, and business partners to report any concerns relating to modern slavery, human trafficking, or unethical conduct. Any concerns raised will be taken seriously and reviewed appropriately.
Continuous Improvement
We recognise that addressing modern slavery is an ongoing process. We will continue to review and improve our practices, policies, and supplier engagement to strengthen our approach and support compliance with evolving standards and legislation.
