However, the Bank continues to take its responsibilities seriously and has sought ways to champion better work and working lives to raise awareness of the issues of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. Our Supply Chains The Bank does not act as a manufacturer, producer or retailer of any physical goods and as a financial services provider lending solely in the UK, it has a relatively straightforward supply chain compared to other sectors. The Bank strives to achieve mutually advantageous supplier relationships built on common values and expectations. It is the Bank’s commitment to conduct business in a responsible and sustainable manner that underpins our engagement with third party suppliers, that resonate with our core values.

Suppliers are required to report on staff training and the audit process they conduct regarding identifying the risks of Modern Slavery in its own supply chain. The Bank will request suppliers comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and require businesses to make an annual statement of compliance. Our Policies The Bank’s policy first approved by the board in October 2020, confirms that the Bank will conduct all business with integrity and that we have a zero-tolerance toward Modern Slavery.
