Policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking Hoo Hing was established over 40 years ago. It is the directors belief that the Company has run successfully due to it’s people culture of respect and integrity. This culture is embedded in it’s policies generally but is most apparent in the code of ethical policy. Due diligence processes Hoo Hing carries out due diligence to ensure slavery and human trafficking does not take place in the business or it’s supply chain. The processes are as follows: • Where possible to deal with the UK subsidiary of an international supply chain as it is reasonable to assume that all UK Companies will have anti-slavery policies and processes in place. • Not to enter into any trading agreement with any organisation which knowingly supports or is found to be involved itself in slavery of any kind. • Incorporate anti-slavery checks when reviewing agreements with existing suppliers. • Assess new suppliers for their policies on Modern Slavery before agreeing to any new trading agreements. • Carry out physical visits to Companies supplying goods to meet with management and emphasise the importance of human welfare in the supply chain. • Review and update policies regularly to incorporate best practice. Risk Assessment and management Modern Slavery broadly falls into the Human Resources and Health and Safety category. To this end, both departments are responsible for the Company’s obligations in this regard. All concerns regarding modern slavery are to be addressed to these departments whereby relevant action will be undertaken. Measuring effectiveness Hoo Hing has set KPIs to measure its effectiveness in ensuring modern slavery is not taking place in the Company nor it’s supply chain. The payroll of the Company is assessed regularly to ensure the national minimum wage and living wage legislation is strictly adhered to. Existing and new suppliers are assessed for their anti-slavery policies. Training on modern slavery and trafficking Hoo Hing is committed to providing a culture where modern slavery is not tolerated in any form. Alls taff undergo an extensive induction process before they can begin work where respect for human well-being is addressed amongst other issues.
