Modern Anti-Slavery Policy<\/h1>\n

Introduction from the CEO: Chris Hopkins<\/h3>\n

We are proud of the steps we have taken to combat slavery and human trafficking. We have instituted a wide-ranging Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy (\u201cASHT Policy<\/strong>\u201d) applicable both to our employees and to all levels of our supply chain. It is critical that everyone at Turnbull & Co keeps a sharp focus on identifying and reporting any concerns in this respect in accordance with our ASHT Policy.<\/p>\n

Organisation’s Structure<\/h3>\n

We are a supplier of goods and materials in the builders\u2019 merchant sector. Our ultimate parent company is Hopkins Group Limited. We have over 200 employees and operate both online and through a number of branches around the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

In the last financial year, we had an annual turnover of \u00a362 million.<\/p>\n

Our Supply Chains<\/h3>\n

The vast majority of our suppliers are sourced via the Fortis Merchant Network (\u201cFortis<\/strong>\u201d), a leading independent mixed merchant buying group. Fortis places a strong emphasis on corporate conscience as part of its criteria for membership, which is a natural fit for our business goals as set out in our ASHT Policy.<\/p>\n

Our Policy on Slavery and Human Trafficking<\/h3>\n

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our ASHT Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place any where in out supply chains.<\/p>\n
