Anti-Slavery Statement
THE S.A. BRAIN & COMPANY LIMITED SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT
Introduction
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 (“the Act”) requires all commercial organisations carrying on business in the UK with turnovers in excess of £36m to publish a Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement. Whilst SA Brain falls below this threshold it has continued to publish it’s policy.
The Act is aimed at combating two criminal offences collectively referred to as “modern slavery”:
- Slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour; and
- Human trafficking.
One of the key focus points of the legislation is for organisations to “shine a light” through their supply chains so that any illegal practices are discovered and tackled. Organisations are therefore required to analyse all elements of their supply chain including their major suppliers as well as their incidental/minor suppliers, even those deemed to be low risk.

This Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement applies to S.A. Brain & Co Limited (Co No 52099) and all of its subsidiary companies, referred to as the “Company”. The Company’s main business areas include:
