Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

1. Our business

SIG Transport Ltd provides and coordinates courier, road transport and logistics services for customers in the United Kingdom. Depending on the requirements of a job, work may be delivered by our own network or arranged with independent transport subcontractors.

2. Our commitment

We do not tolerate slavery or human trafficking in connection with our business. We expect people working on SIG Transport assignments to be treated lawfully and fairly, and we do not knowingly enter into commercial arrangements involving exploitation.

• Work must be undertaken freely, without coercion, threats or unlawful restrictions on movement.
• Workers must be treated with respect and in accordance with applicable employment, wage and working-time laws.
• We expect business partners to comply with applicable laws concerning labour and human trafficking.

3. Our subcontractors

We know the subcontractors with whom we work and maintain direct commercial relationships with them. Our expectation is that each subcontractor acts responsibly, complies with applicable law and does not use forced labour or engage in human trafficking.

We recognise that knowing a business partner does not, by itself, eliminate risk. Any credible concern about a subcontractor should be considered and addressed appropriately.

4. Risk awareness

Labour risks can arise in the transport and logistics sector, including where temporary workers, recruitment agencies or subcontracted services are involved. We recognise the importance of remaining alert to possible exploitation and reviewing concerns if they are brought to our attention.

We will continue to consider proportionate ways of identifying and responding to concerns as our operations and supplier relationships develop.

5. Raising concerns

If you believe that modern slavery or human trafficking may be linked to SIG Transport or a transport partner, please contact info@sigtransport.co.uk. Please provide relevant details so the concern can be assessed.

For immediate danger in the UK, contact the police on 999. General information and reporting guidance is also available from the UK Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline.

6. Current position

Based on the information presently available to SIG Transport Ltd, we are not aware of any identified modern slavery or human trafficking incidents in our business or among the subcontractors we work with as at the date of this statement.

This is a statement of current knowledge, not a guarantee that risks cannot exist. Any credible new information would need to be assessed on its merits.

7. Governance and review

We intend to keep this public statement under review as our operations and subcontractor network develop. This voluntary statement sets out our current position and is reviewed as appropriate. A statutory financial-year statement, if required, would be subject to the applicable approval and sign-off requirements.
