Statement on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

BIG little LDN is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or our supply chains. While we are not legally required to publish a formal statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings.

1. Organisational Commitment

We believe in promoting and protecting human rights, and we understand the importance of tackling modern slavery. Our agency is committed to maintaining high ethical standards and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not take place within our operations or our supply chain.

2. Due Diligence Processes

Given the small size of our business, we work closely with a limited number of suppliers and contractors. Despite this, we have implemented the following measures to mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains:

Supplier Vetting: We conduct basic due diligence when engaging new suppliers or contractors. This includes reviewing their ethical standards, reputation, and commitment to human rights.

‍
Supplier Agreements: We include clauses in our supplier agreements that require compliance with all applicable laws, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Suppliers are expected to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place within their businesses or supply chains.
‍

Regular Reviews: We periodically review our existing suppliers to ensure ongoing compliance with our ethical standards, including their adherence to anti-slavery policies.

3. Risk Assessment and Management

We acknowledge that certain industries and regions may present a higher risk of modern slavery. Although our business operates in a low-risk sector, we remain vigilant and take the following steps to manage risks:

Sector and Geographical Risk: We primarily engage suppliers in the UK and from sectors with a lower inherent risk of modern slavery. However, we continue to assess any potential risks associated with our supply chain.

‍
Employee Awareness: All members of our small team, including management, are aware of the risks of modern slavery and the importance of reporting any concerns.

4. Reporting and Accountability

As a small agency, our reporting lines are clear and straightforward. If any member of our team or our supply chain has concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking, they are encouraged to report these concerns immediately. We are committed to investigating and addressing any issues that arise.

5. Continuous Improvement

We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is ongoing. As such, we are committed to continuously improving our practices and increasing our awareness of this issue. We will regularly review and update our approach to ensure that our commitment to combating modern slavery remains robust.

6. Collaboration and Support

We encourage collaboration with our clients, suppliers, and industry partners to uphold the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. By working together, we believe we can contribute to the eradication of modern slavery.

Conclusion

While BIG little LDN is not required to publish a formal modern slavery statement, we take our responsibility seriously. We are committed to maintaining ethical business practices and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business operations or supply chains.
