MODERN SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT ISSUE: 2 Pages: 2 

52 MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT

52.1 Introduction

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1), Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by Creamline Dairies Limited during the current and previous financial year to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chain. 

Creamline Dairies Limited ('the Company', 'we', 'us' or 'our') recognises that modern slavery is a criminal offence and a violation of fundamental human rights. We are committed the conducting business ethically and with integrity and have a zero-tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. 

We are committed to ensuring transparency throughout our business and expect the same standards from our suppliers, contractors and business partners. 

52.2 Organisational structure

We operate in the Dairy & Grocery sector.

Our supply chain is predominantly UK based and includes:

  • Milk procured from a network of local farmers within an average 35-mile radius of our sites, supporting both supply chain transparency and reduced distribution impact. 
  • Raw materials sourced primarily from UK suppliers.
  • Finished products for resale sourced through established UK suppliers and agents. 

For more information about the Company, please visit our website: https://www.creamline.co.uk.

52.3 Policies and Controls

We operate a number of internal policies and procedures designed to support ethical business conduct and reduce risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain including:

Section 21 - Equal Opportunities Policy

Section 36 - Fair Business Practice, Bribery, Fraud & Corruption Policy

Section 41 - Whistleblowing Policy

Section 43 - Ethical Trading Policy

Section 56 - Sustainability Policy

We encourage all employees to raise concerns regarding unethical conduct or potential breaches of this policy through our Whistleblowing procedures.

We believe the overall risk within our business and supply chain is relatively low due to the predominantly UK-based nature of our operations and supplier network. However, we recognise that modern slavery risks can exist within any sector and therefore remain committed to maintaining appropriate oversight and controls. 

All employees are provided with formal employment contracts and are employed in accordance with applicable UK employment legislation. 

We regularly review renumeration and working practices to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards. 

Where concerns are identified regarding supplier compliance or ethical standards, we will work with the supplier to address the issue. Where appropriate improvements are not made, we reserve the right to cease trading with that supplier. 

Modern Slavery in our Supply Chain

We expect our suppliers and business partners to uphold the same ethical standards that we apply within our business.

We seek to build long-standing and transparent relationships with suppliers and, where appropriate, undertake site visits and reviews to better understand their operations and employment practices. 

Suppliers may be requested to provide copies of their own Modern Slavery Statements or evidence of the controls they have in place to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and unethical employment working practices. 

We promote an open and transparent culture where concerns can be raised without fear of detriment. Modern slavery risks, ethical trading considerations and employment practices are reviewed periodically by the Senior Leadership Team as part of our wider governance and compliance framework. 

52.4 Effectiveness and Review

The Company will periodically review supplier relationships and relevant working practices to assess the effectiveness of the measures in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.

Any concerns identified will be escalated through the appropriate management and governance channels for review and action where necessary.

This statement will be reviewed annually and updated as required.

The statement was approved by the board of directors on 13th May 2026. 

Signed by Joint Managing Directors: Chris Swallow and Rob Purvis on 13th May 2026.
