Statement against slavery and human trafficking

Introduction

This statement is made on behalf of Imaginarium Future Ltd Ltd pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (‘The Act’) and constitutes our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for the financial year ended March 2023.
Imaginarium Future Ltd is committed to social and environmental responsibility and at all times tries to ensure that our supply chains are free from forced labour slavery and human trafficking.

Organisation Structure

Imaginarium Future Ltd is one of the UK’s largest distributors of promotional merchandise.

Supply Chains

Our supply chains include the sourcing and distribution of promotional products and apparel suitable for all promotional marketing requirements.

Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery, servitude and forced compulsory labour or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-Slavery policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are confident that we have a robust system for monitoring our supply chain and we have a zero tolerance for any factory that may be found to be engaged in human trafficking and slavery.
We require our suppliers to abide by our code of conduct. We also conduct factory inspections and audits, which include criteria related to unacceptable labour practices embodied in the Act.
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have in place systems to:
• Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains
• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains
• Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains
• Encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers

Risk Assessment

We consider that the main areas at risk of Modern Slavery at Imaginarium Futre Ltd are our workforce, subcontractors and suppliers, and that the risk of Modern Slavery occurring in any of these areas is being proactively managed through the efforts of the Anti-Slavery Compliance Team and the measures described in this Statement.

Supplier Adherence to our Values

We have a zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in our supply chain and suppliers comply with our values or ethics we have in place a supply chain compliance programme.
We have a dedicated compliance team, which consists of involvement from the following departments:
• Procurement
• Human Resources

Further Steps

We will continue to keep under review our internal processes to identify what further steps can be taken to ensure that our obligations under the Act are met and that our Anti Slavery Policy is effectively implemented and complied with, so as to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business.
