Modern Slavery Statement
INTRODUCTION
LOOMWORKS LTD is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct, integrity, and respect for human rights across our operations.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and transparently in all business dealings.
OUR BUSINESS
LOOMWORKS LTD is a manufacturer and wholesaler of homeware textiles, specialising in high-quality home décor products. Our operations include a manufacturing facility in Pakistan and a wholesale and distribution unit in the United Kingdom.
Our supply chain spans raw material sourcing, textile production, and international logistics, involving trusted suppliers, contractors, and service providers across multiple regions.
OUR COMMITMENT
We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chains. We work proactively to partner only with organisations that share our commitment to ethical labour practices, fair treatment of workers, and full compliance with applicable laws and international standards.
OUR POLICIES AND CONTROL
To support our commitment, we have implemented robust policies and procedures, including:
Supplier Code of Conduct
All suppliers and business partners are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets clear expectations regarding:
- Prohibition of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour
- Strict prevention of child labour
- Provision of fair wages and safe working conditions
- Respect for workers’ rights and freedom of association
Due Diligence and Audits
We undertake ongoing due diligence processes when engaging new suppliers and regularly review existing partners. This includes:
- Risk-based supplier assessments
- Periodic audits and site inspections (both announced and unannounced where appropriate)
- Evaluation of labour practices and working conditions
Training and Awareness
We provide relevant training to employees to help them identify and respond to potential signs of modern slavery. We also encourage our suppliers to deliver similar training within their organisations to promote awareness and accountability.
RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
We continuously assess and monitor the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains, with particular attention to higher-risk regions and sectors. Where risks are identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers to implement corrective actions and improve compliance.
Our approach focuses on long-term engagement, transparency, and continuous improvement rather than short-term corrective measures.
REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise concerns about any suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical practices. We maintain a confidential reporting mechanism to ensure that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation.
All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate remedial action taken where necessary.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
LOOMWORKS LTD is committed to continuously improving our systems and processes to combat modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, risk assessments, and supplier engagement practices to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving best practices.
