Modern Slavery Statement – For Small Business

Our business Hunnimill Automation Limited is committed to combating slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and we make this statement to assist with compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This statement relates to the financial year ending 31^st December 2024.

As our business has a turnover of less than £36 million, we do not have a legal obligation to produce a modern slavery statement. However:

     a) We agree that exploitation within all supply chains ending in the UK is a blight on our society, and we are                  committed to playing our part in eliminating exploitation.

     b) We understand that customers with obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 cannot comply with those            duties without our cooperation.

To that end, we confirm that we have examined our own business and, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable, businesses within our supply chain and we confirm the following:

     a) We confirm that within our own business, no relevant offence relating to slavery or human trafficking has                   been committed.

     b) We have made enquiries of businesses that supply directly to us and we are confident that no relevant                     offence is committed in that business.

     c) In so far as it was reasonably practicable, we have examined our supply chains and confirm that we found no           evidence of slavery or human trafficking.

These are supplied from world class manufactures through UK channel partnerships:

Siemens Automation, Omron, HMS from Underwoods Electrical Distribution

Rockwell from Routeco PLC

We understand that certain industry sectors and geographical regions entail greater risk of exploitation than others. We do not believe that our supply chain is one of those sectors.

Where it is reasonably practicable, we ensure that businesses in our supply chain have made a similar statement relating to slavery and human trafficking.
