Why a modern slavery statement matters
Modern slavery remains a serious global issue, and organisations play a critical role in identifying and preventing exploitation within their operations and supply chains. Publishing a modern slavery statement demonstrates transparency and accountability, showing stakeholders that your business is committed to ethical practices and responsible sourcing.
Who needs this template?
Under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, UK organisations with an annual turnover of £36 million or more are legally required to publish a modern slavery statement each financial year. However, even businesses that fall below this threshold can benefit from adopting best practice. This template is designed to help organisations of all sizes clearly communicate their approach to tackling modern slavery risks.
How this template supports your compliance
This template provides a structured framework to help you cover key legal requirements, including policies, due diligence processes, risk assessments, training, and performance measures. It ensures your statement is clear, consistent, and aligned with legislative expectations, helping you reduce risk while strengthening trust with customers, partners, and regulators.
