Modern Slavery Statement
Lloyd Textile Recycling (LTR) (Group) maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.
Our Structure & Supply Chain
LTR is organised to ensure full visibility and accountability across every stage of our operations. Our structure facilitates strict oversight of our supply chains, which involve the collection, sorting, and redistribution of textiles from retail partners and charities across the Midlands. We are committed to maintaining ethical standards by vetting all partners and ensuring that our logistics network operates with the highest level of integrity and transparency.
Policies & Governance
ETHICAL CORE
Our Anti-Slavery Policy
We operate a strict Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy which reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. This policy is enforced across our entire Midlands operation and extended supply chain.
TRANSPARENCY
Whistleblowing Protection
We encourage all employees, customers, and business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities or the supply chains of our organisation. Our whistleblowing procedure is designed to make it easy for workers to make disclosures without fear of retaliation.
COMPLIANCE
Supplier Code of Conduct
All LTR Group suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits the use of forced, bonded, or involuntary prison labour. We conduct periodic audits to ensure compliance and promote ethical labour practices throughout the textile recycling cycle.
Due Diligence & Risk Management
LTR adopts a rigorous due diligence framework to monitor and manage risks related to modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. We conduct regular audits of our primary suppliers and collection partners, ensuring compliance with our ethical standards. Our risk management strategy involves identifying high-risk geographic areas and sectors, implementing targeted monitoring, and maintaining open communication channels for whistleblowing. By continuously reviewing our processes, we ensure that our commitment to human rights is upheld at every stage of the textile reclamation cycle.
Training & Awareness
LTR Group is committed to ensuring that all employees and relevant stakeholders have a high level of understanding regarding the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We provide mandatory training for all staff, with enhanced modules tailored for those involved in procurement, human resources, and supply chain management.
Our awareness program covers the identifier signs of modern slavery, the procedures for internally reporting concerns via our whistleblowing policy, and the external support available for victims. This training is reviewed annually and updated to reflect evolving legal requirements and industry best practices, ensuring a zero-tolerance culture across all LTR Group operations.
