Our Commitment – What We Do

Supply Chain Adherence to Dunraven Values and Ethics

Dunraven Recruitment Limited considers its supply chain to be at a ‘low risk’ in relation to slavery and human trafficking. Given the nature of the business and how we operate within the recruitment sector, there is minimal utilisation of overseas or unskilled labour. Where labour is engaged, we predominantly work with reputable companies on long-term contracts, and operations of our and our associated companies are UK or EU based, meaning suppliers are already obliged to comply with UK and EU law on forced labour.

Supplier Adherence

Dunraven Recruitment Limited demonstrates zero tolerance to modern slavery and human trafficking and reserves the right to terminate any arrangements with any of its suppliers should any modern slavery or human trafficking offence be committed or suspected. Policies and procedures will be updated as required to maintain appropriate safeguards against any mistreatment of persons involved in its supply chain or business.

Effectiveness in Combating Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

Any suspected incidence of slavery or human trafficking within Dunraven Recruitment Limited or its supply chain would be immediately reported to the Board of Directors. Actions may include, but are not limited to, terminating commercial relationships, disciplinary action, and notifying the relevant authorities.

What We Will Do in 2026/2027

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring modern slavery and human trafficking are not present within Dunraven Recruitment Limited, we will:

• Continue to raise awareness amongst employees of modern slavery and human trafficking issues.

• Review our standard supplier terms and contracts to ensure all partners, stakeholders, and counter-parties are required to adhere to our relevant policies.

• Work collaboratively with long-term partners to adopt a consistent best-practice approach to tackling these issues.

• Develop an expanded third-party due diligence process for strategic opportunities to ensure a standardised approach across all business units.

COVID-19 Considerations

Given the nature of our operations, it is not considered that COVID-19 has created a heightened risk of modern slavery. However, we continue to monitor our supply chain and adopt a zero-tolerance approach to any actual or potential risks.

Measuring Our Effectiveness

We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking are global challenges and are committed to ongoing action to develop our approach and monitor its effectiveness.

To do this, we will:

• Review the effectiveness of our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct.

• Ensure all colleagues review our policy annually and confirm understanding.

• Continuously review our supply chain.

• Monitor any cases reported via our Whistleblowing Policy.

Overall, Dunraven Recruitment Limited will continue to focus on understanding our supply chains, identifying risk areas, increasing employee awareness, and ensuring proper reporting procedures are in place.
