Modern Slavery Statement

INTRODUCTION

The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires OHMG Ltd. to state the actions they have taken during the financial year to ensure that Modern Slavery is not taking place in their operations or those of their supply chain.

OHMG Ltd. are committed to engaging with sub-contractors, supply chain, employees and business partners who can demonstrate a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery and a clear understanding of what it entails.

We act ethically and with integrity in all dealings, complying with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, employment, and human rights standards. This statement refers to the financial year ending 31st December 2022 and outlines steps taken by OHMG Ltd. to prevent Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

First published in February 2017, our Modern Slavery Policy remains a core principle of the company, focusing on areas of greatest risk.

2025 Statement

OHMG Ltd. are fully committed to ensuring all staff and supply chain members understand the risks of Modern Slavery.

We fully respect Human Rights in all operations and external dealings, recognising Modern Slavery as a crime and violation of Human Rights — encompassing slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking.

Our core values ensure there is no Modern Slavery within our business or supply chain. We continue to monitor this rigorously and keep it central to our supplier relationships.
