For the financial year ending 2026.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps Motor Parts Direct Ltd has taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
1. Our Organisation
Motor Parts Direct Ltd is a UK-based business supplying automotive parts to consumers. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom, and we work with a network of suppliers to source products for resale.
2. Our Commitment
Motor Parts Direct Ltd is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and are committed to preventing such practices within our business and supply chains.
We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
3. Policies and Governance
We have implemented policies and procedures designed to minimise the risk of modern slavery, including:
-
An Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy, approved at board level
-
Clear expectations communicated to employees and suppliers
-
Internal reporting procedures for concerns or suspected breaches
These policies apply to all persons working for or on behalf of Motor Parts Direct Ltd, including employees, directors, agents, contractors, and suppliers.
4. Risk Assessment
Given the nature of our business, we consider the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct operations to be low.
Potential risk areas may exist within wider supply chains, particularly where goods are manufactured or sourced internationally. We remain alert to these risks and take proportionate steps to assess and manage them.
5. Due Diligence in Our Supply Chains
To mitigate risk, we:
-
Work with established and reputable suppliers
-
Expect suppliers to comply with applicable employment and human rights laws
-
Encourage suppliers to adopt their own anti-slavery policies and controls
-
Monitor supplier relationships and review concerns where identified
Where appropriate, we reserve the right to cease trading with suppliers who fail to meet our standards.
6. Training and Awareness
We ensure that relevant employees are aware of:
-
The risks of modern slavery
-
The signs to look out for
-
How to report concerns internally
Training and awareness are provided proportionately based on role and responsibility.
7. Reporting Concerns
Employees, suppliers, and other business partners are encouraged to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or human trafficking without fear of retaliation. Any concerns raised are investigated promptly and appropriately.
8. Ongoing Commitment
Motor Parts Direct Ltd is committed to reviewing and improving our practices to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary.
