Global awareness of modern slavery (slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human traffic) is rising. Structure and Supply Chains Chairs Limited Trading as Coach House is a trade only business selling Furniture, Accessories, Floral, Seasonal and Outdoor goods. We are leaders in our field, having been established for over 35 years, and operate out of our base in Lancashire with approximately 200 employees covering Sales, Operations and Warehousing. We source from Asia and South East Asia in the main, together with India, parts of Europe and the UK. Our customers are comprised of independent retailers, hoteliers, interior designers and property developers. Each of our suppliers has received a copy of this statement which sets out our expectations with regard to our prohibition of modern slavery. Our suppliers are identified through trade fairs and while some will inevitably be new to us, we have been dealing with the majority for many years. Our main suppliers are visited on a regular basis by local agents who check for compliance with our policies. Our owners also visit suppliers and check the running of factories and that standards are maintained. We operate in an open and honest way with our suppliers and pride ourselves on prompt payment and maintaining excellent working relationships with them. We operate a zero tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking. To ensure our suppliers comply with our policies we require them to read, confirm their understanding and sign up to our requirements. We work in partnership with one Freight Forwarder, who are committed to improving their practices to combat slavery and human trafficking to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in any part of their business. We operate a simple “straight line” supply chain: supplier base → overseas port → UK port → Warehouse → Customer We are a carbon neutral company and will strive to maintain this throughout our supply chain and are implementing a sustainable packaging programme across 2020. Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy Coach House sources product from India, Indonesia and China in the main as well as the UK, and works closely and collaboratively with our suppliers. We inspect them regularly and expect the highest standards. We are committed to prohibiting any form of modern slavery from our supply chain. Our inspectors are aware of the importance we attach to integrity and doing the right thing. They are encouraged to report any incident of ethical concern that they witness, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking or any other human rights abuses. While no country or industry can be immune from the risks of modern slavery, it is everyone’s responsibility to take steps to guard against such risks, and we at Coach House support safe and voluntary employment within our suppliers and supply chain. We acknowledge how modern slavery and abusive labour conditions can be sustained through the procurement of goods from unethical suppliers. We therefore encourage the reporting of any malpractice in this regard to our local agents and are developing general policies on recruitment, worker integration and protection. We hope these will embed a culture of learning in our suppliers. Due Diligence and Risk Assessment Our due diligence includes the routine assessment of risks posed by our operations. These include risks at our suppliers, in our freight forwarding, and in our warehouse operations and office functions. We carry our appropriate due diligence when engaging with our suppliers. Included in this is an assessment of modern slavery risk. Action Taken to Address Modern Slavery Coach House expects all our suppliers to fully co-operate with our Modern Slavery Policy and any subsequent investigations into abuses. Coach House expects all suppliers to comply with all forced labour laws and to take steps to prevent human trafficking and slavery. If any poor labour practices are identified, and there is an opportunity to influence these, Coach House will work with a supplier to achieve better practices. In serious cases, Coach House will immediately cease contractual relations with that supplier. Training on Modern Slavery and Trafficking We offer guidance on Modern Slavery and Trafficking to all suppliers. This is either though our local factory visits or direct from our UK base.
