Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

Modern Slavery Statement

Champion Timber is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking and are committed to acting ethically, responsibly and with integrity in all business dealings.

As one of the South East’s leading independent timber specialists, Champion Timber recognises the importance of maintaining transparent and responsible supply chain practices. We source timber from Northern Scandinavia, machine materials within our own operations and supply products directly to customers through our branch network.

We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery does not exist within our business or supply chain.

To support this commitment, we:

  • Assess and monitor supply chain risks where appropriate
  • Undertake supplier due diligence checks
  • Expect suppliers and contractors to comply with all applicable employment and human rights legislation
  • Reserve the right to review or terminate supplier relationships where concerns are identified
  • Promote awareness of modern slavery throughout the business

Champion Timber also provides training and awareness for Executive Board members to support understanding of modern slavery risks, responsibilities and reporting requirements.

We encourage employees, suppliers and business partners to report any concerns relating to unethical or unlawful practices. Any concerns raised will be treated seriously and investigated appropriately.

This statement is reviewed annually and approved by the Executive Board.
