Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of human rights. It takes various forms, including forced, bonded or compulsory labour and human trafficking.

Jag Express Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is staunchly committed to acting ethically and with integrity to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place in our supply chain. 

The majority of our business comes from small to medium-sized businesses, but public sector customers are continuing to account for an increasing percentage of our revenue. We also have a significant number of larger enterprise customers. We have introduced procedures that contribute to ensuring modern slavery does not occur in our business or supply chains, and we expect organisations with whom we do business to adopt and enforce policies to comply with the legislation:

  •  Robust recruitment processes in line with UK employment laws, including comprehensive pre-employment vetting carried out by an independent specialist company.
  •  Engaged with an independent specialist third-party organisation to carry out HR advice and activities, which includes a confidential helpline for Jag Express staff should they require advice on employment issues arising from their work.
  •  Written employment contracts are initially issued in draft form to potential new employees so they can review the terms.
  •  Our supply chain is based on industry standard vendors and mainline distributors, with only a small number of essential specialist suppliers.
  •  We have sought confirmation by our top suppliers in terms of spend, of their compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Act).
  •  Introduced a Supplier Code of Conduct, used for all new major suppliers or in re-tendering, which addresses the labour rights issues associated with modern slavery and sets out the values and standards we expect of our suppliers.
  •  The roll out of our anti modern slavery training has commenced for current employees in roles identified as being predominantly supply chain management and customer facing.
