This statement constitutes Wessex’s statement on slavery and human trafficking under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

As a leading consumables and machinery supplier since 1991, we have a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking.

We are committed to ensuring that our business and suppliers remain free from any ties or connections with slavery and human trafficking. Our staff recognise our obligation to identify and prevent this from happening and actively play a role in helping to eliminate these issues.

Our partnerships and supply chains We have an extensive and robust array of policies, procedures, and contractual requirements in place. These help to contribute towards the prevention of slavery or human trafficking within our business and our supply/partnership chains.

As part of our ongoing endeavours against slavery and human trafficking, we:

• Carry out rigorous checks before agreeing on any contracts with suppliers or agencies, and always ensure that our business is regulated.
• Monitor our partnerships with other suppliers to ensure they are adhering to the legislations of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We will review this statement every year to ensure it is up to date and factual.
