This statement is made by Tradmet Limited on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries Tradmet Hong Kong Limited and Tradmet Hellas SA (“Tradmet”), pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. The statement sets out the steps that we have taken to minimise the risk of modern slavery existing in our business or supply chains.

Tradmet trades in non-ferrous metals dealing with smelters, producers, consumers and agents. Tradmet has a global reach and contracts with companies situated in many different countries to buy and sell material. Tradmet is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in its corporate activities and its supply chains.  We also expect the same high standards from those parties with whom we engage, such as our suppliers and customers.

OUR POLICIES

We operate several internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:

Anti-slavery policy

This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help

Recruitment policy

We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting a check on eligibility to work in a specific country for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will

Whistleblowing policy

We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals

OUR SUPPLIERS

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, Tradmet has in place systems to:

  1. Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains
  2. Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains
  3. Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains
  4. Protect whistle blowers

Tradmet conducts due diligence on all suppliers and, where practicable, on-site audits which include a review of working conditions.

TRAINING

We regularly conduct training for the appropriate staff so that they understand the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain. Staff are kept informed of any changes in the legislation and are invited to undertake training which would be provided by or arranged by the company on request.

OUR PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

We will know the effectiveness of the steps that we are taking to ensure that slavery and/or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain if:

  • No reports are received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.
