This Modern Slavery Statement is published in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines our actions to ensure ethical supply chains and operations. As a responsible business providing labelling solutions across the UK, we uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and human rights compliance.

Our Business Structure and Supply Chains

Insignia Label Solutions Ltd (Company Number 07124906) operates from our registered office at Unit 6, Manor Industrial Estate, Flint, CH6 5UY, United Kingdom. We specialize in the design, production, and supply of plain and printed self-adhesive labels using advanced printing techniques such as flexographic, hotfoil, thermal, inkjet, and digital methods.

Our supply chains include sourcing raw materials (e.g., adhesives, papers, inks) from UK and international suppliers, as well as subcontracting for specialized services. We primarily source from reputable suppliers in the UK and EU, with limited imports from other regions. We recognize that sectors like manufacturing and logistics can carry risks of modern slavery, and we actively mitigate these through rigorous due diligence.

Policies on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

We have implemented the following policies to prevent modern slavery:

  1. Anti-Slavery Policy: A comprehensive internal policy prohibiting slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This is communicated to all employees and suppliers.

  2. Supplier Code of Conduct: Requires all suppliers to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, including zero tolerance for exploitation. Suppliers must confirm adherence via contractual terms.

  3. Whistleblowing Policy: Encourages confidential reporting of concerns, protected under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.

  4. Recruitment Policy: Ensures fair hiring practices, verifying right-to-work documents and prohibiting recruitment fees, in line with the Employment Agencies Act 1973.

These policies are integrated into our broader ethical framework, including compliance with the Bribery Act 2010 and UK GDPR.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence Processes

To identify and mitigate risks:

  1. Risk Mapping: We conduct annual assessments of our supply chains, focusing on high-risk areas such as raw material sourcing from regions with known labour issues (e.g., using tools like the Global Slavery Index).

  2. Supplier Audits: We perform due diligence on new suppliers, including questionnaires on their anti-slavery measures, and conduct on-site audits where risks are identified.

  3. Contractual Obligations: All contracts include clauses requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and allow us to audit their practices.

  4. Monitoring: Ongoing reviews of supplier performance, with termination rights for non-compliance.

In the past year, no instances of modern slavery were identified, but we remain vigilant.

Training and Capacity Building

  1. Employee Training: All staff receive mandatory training on recognizing signs of modern slavery, with specialized sessions for procurement and management teams.

  2. Supplier Engagement: We provide guidance to suppliers on compliance and encourage them to adopt similar training programs.

  3. Awareness Campaigns: Internal communications raise awareness, aligning with government initiatives like those from the Home Office.

Measuring Effectiveness and KPIs

We track our progress through key performance indicators (KPIs):

  • Percentage of suppliers audited annually (target: 100% for high-risk).

  • Number of training sessions completed (target: full staff coverage).

  • Reports received via whistleblowing channels (aim: proactive identification).

We report on these in our annual statement and adjust strategies as needed.
