Modern Slavery Policies.

At Unipromo, we believe we must not only meet the expectations of our customers and consumers, but we must also exceed those expectations. We have adopted standards for the safety, quality and integrity of our products and processes and we are committed to respecting the rights of all individuals. We are dedicated to complying with all applicable regulations and laws and conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner.

We meet with our suppliers on a regular basis, typically 2-3 times per year and have had numerous discussions on ensuring they are complying with Ethical Sourcing and Modern Slavery policies. We require updated information from all key suppliers and keep a library of these on file as these documents are regularly used for our major client submissions and Tender responses. Members of our senior management team have also visited some of the factories in China to inspect manufacturing processing and to assess any modern slavery risks.
