Financial Year: 2024

Introduction

London Car Rentals is committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. As a leading provider of commercial vehicles, refrigerated vans, and cars, we acknowledge our responsibility to ensure our operations are free from unethical practices.

This statement outlines the measures we have implemented during the 2024 financial year to uphold this commitment.

Our Business and Supply Chains

London Car Rentals specializes in the rental and leasing of vehicles for commercial and private use, including refrigerated vans and standard cars. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom, and we source vehicles, parts, and services from a range of trusted suppliers domestically and internationally.

Our Commitment

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. We strive to ensure transparency in our supply chains and are dedicated to mitigating risks of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Policies

To support our commitment to ethical practices, we have implemented the following policies:

  • Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy: Ensures awareness and prevention of modern slavery within our business.
  • Supplier Code of Conduct: Requires suppliers to comply with applicable laws, including those related to labour rights and ethical practices.
  • Whistleblowing Policy: Provides employees and contractors with a secure channel to report any concerns about unethical behaviour, including potential human rights abuses.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We have undertaken risk assessments to identify areas in our supply chain where there may be a higher risk of modern slavery. The following steps have been taken:

  1. Vetting of suppliers to confirm compliance with ethical standards.
  2. Regular reviews of supply chain practices, particularly for high-risk suppliers.
  3. Training employees to recognize and report potential signs of modern slavery.
