MODERN SLAVERY POLICY

A message from Scott Curtis, Co-Owner & Managing Director

Modern slavery is the illegal exploitation of people, it is a crime and violation of fundamental human rights. It includes human trafficking, forced labour, sexual exploitation and criminal exploitation. At Dolce, our people are at the heart of our business and so we have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery.

Policy

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Dolce Ltd is taking, has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place within our business or supply chain. 

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, agency workers, subcontractors, seconded workers, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.

This policy was approved by the Board of Directors of Dolce Ltd on 19 February 2024.

Commitment

We acknowledge our responsibility in relation to tackling modern slavery and are committed to ensuring that no acts of modern slavery occur within our organisation or supply chains. 

We do not enter into business with any other organisation, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour. 

No labour provided to Dolce is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. We strictly adhere to the minimum standards required in relation to our responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in the United Kingdom. 

Ongoing review(s) of both internal practices in relation to our labour force and, additionally, our supply chain are carried out to ensure complete compliance and best practice is sustained.

Supply chains

Our purchasing commitment is to ensure that our suppliers deliver products and services to our business via an auditable and transparent supply chain. 

In order to fulfil our activities, we get food from across the planet, but our primary suppliers, based in the UK, carry-out the due diligence checks on our behalf and we are satisfied with their zero tolerance of labour slavery.
