Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction from the Board

Signature Pubs Ltd is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and business integrity. We fully support the UK Government’s objective to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms.

 

Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking.

The Company adopts a zero‑tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery.

 

We are dedicated to ensuring transparency in our business and supply chain, and we are committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems, processes, and controls to safeguard against modern slavery.
