Modern Slavery Statement

The Networking Store Ltd
Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

1. Policy Statement
The Networking Store Ltd is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We are dedicated to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We uphold the principles set out in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and expect the same high standards from all of our suppliers, contractors, and business partners.

2. Our Business
The Networking Store Ltd is a UK-based company supplying networking equipment and solutions to businesses and consumers. While our operations are primarily based in the UK, we source products and components globally.

3. Our Commitment
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to:

  • Ensuring that slavery and human trafficking do not take place in any part of our business or supply chains.

  • Conducting due diligence on new suppliers, particularly those in regions considered high-risk.

  • Including anti-slavery clauses in contracts with suppliers where appropriate.

  • Reviewing our supply chains to identify and mitigate risks.

4. Supply Chain Risk Management
We recognise that certain parts of our supply chain may pose a higher risk of modern slavery, particularly those operating in countries with weak labour enforcement. We conduct supplier assessments to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards.

5. Employee Awareness and Training
All employees involved in procurement or supplier management are made aware of the risks of modern slavery. Where relevant, training is provided to help them recognise signs of slavery and report concerns appropriately.

6. Reporting and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, suppliers, and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities or supply chains of The Networking Store Ltd. Our whistleblowing policy is designed to make it easy for individuals to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation.

7. Ongoing Review
This policy will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary to ensure that it continues to reflect our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.

8. Approval
This statement has been approved by the Directors of The Networking Store Ltd and is reviewed annually in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
