Bonfire Modern Slavery and Humen Trafficking Statement
Here are the steps that Bonfire has taken and continues to take to understand and minimise the potential risk of modern slavery in its business and supply chains.
This statement is published in line with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Bonfire is a family-run business that was established in 2003. We supply and install fires, stoves, flues and mantels within the UK.
Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015
Bonfire is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.
As an equal opportunities employer, we’re committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrong-doing without any risk to themselves.
Our recruitment processes, using professional employment agencies, are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.
We do not enter into business with any organisation, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.
Our Supply Chain
Due to the nature of our business, we consider ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
Our supply chains are limited ie fire product suppliers, and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and overseas suppliers.
Embedding the principles
We will continue to embed the principles through:
- providing awareness training to staff on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and informing them of the appropriate action to take if they suspect a case of slavery or human trafficking.
- continuing to take action to embed a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery
- ensuring that staff involved in buying receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices.
This statement has been prepared by Julia Barlow, for the financial year ending 31st October 2024.
This statement will be reviewed and updated every year.
