MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

CCS MCLAYS LIMITED MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

CCS McLays Ltd. is a leading provider of goods not for resale for retail clients worldwide. Additionally, CCS McLays Ltd. is a manufacturer of paper twisted handle carrier bags in the UK.

CCS McLays Ltd. is committed to ensuring human rights throughout our entire supply base surpass ethical standards set out. CCS McLays Ltd. does not accept anything below these standards and in the event we were to be made aware of such an instance, we would immediately stop trading if a supplier is found guilty of failing to meet such standards.

Before any business is undertaken with a supplier, CCS McLays Ltd. will fully audit a supplier checking that there is legal and ethical compliance with human rights standards.

CCS McLays Ltd. have developed long standing relationships with trusted suppliers since our establishment in 2005. However, we continue to visit our global supply base at least twice annually to audit applicable workplaces and factories to ensure legal and ethical compliance. Many of the visits are purposely carried out at random, so that the supplier is unaware we are planning on such a visit.

CCS McLays Ltd. are also active Sedex B members & we use the platform rigorously to ensure chosen suppliers manufacture products in a responsible manner, monitoring compliance and to continually assess performance.
