Jackson Tools Ltd (Jackson Tools) publishes this Modern Slavery Act Statement on its corporate website in the name and on behalf of Jackson Tools Ltd for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2021:
UK Modern Slavery Act (“Jackson Tools”) Statement.
Jackson Tools is committed to good corporate citizenship and the highest ethical standards. To fulfil these requirements, Jackson Tools has established and maintains systems and controls to ensure that slavery and related human trafficking do not form part of the supply chain.
BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Jackson Tools was established in 2009, it is a company limited by shares organized under the laws of England and Wales. Jackson Tools is a roofing tool supplier and delivers value by establishing and developing new inventions/products. Jackson Tools works with U.K suppliers.
VALUES AND TRAININGS.
​
Jackson Tools is committed to sourcing quality products from suppliers who share its ethical values. Everything Jackson Tools does is driven by Jackson Tools CARE principles, which are: Integrity, Customer-first, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.
Jackson Tools Code of Conduct (“Code of Conduct”) provides important guidelines for interactions with customers, suppliers and other business partners, and one another.
The CARE principles are central to the Code of Conduct and are at the heart of every decision Jackson Tools makes. All colleagues are encouraged to raise concerns; this includes violations of (i) the Code of Conduct; (ii) company policies; and (iii) the laws of the countries in which Jackson Tools operates. Jackson Tools has reporting mechanisms in place to collect and relay information regarding potential violations to appropriate company resources for review and follow up.
Jackson Tools conducts face to face training for employees to emphasize the importance of acting with integrity and in line with the CARE principles and Code of Conduct.
SUPPLY CHAIN AND DUE DILIGENCE.
​
Jackson Tools makes several efforts to implement a zero-tolerance policy for abuses. Jackson Tools, therefore (i) clearly communicates its expectations to suppliers to ensure adherence of its values and ethical standards; (ii) establishes appropriate policies and processes within its businesses to make sure that the products it is selling meet the highest standards;
For its sustainable logistics and quality management systems, Jackson Tools has implemented a number of processes to assess suppliers of the products introduced into the supply chain. The focus areas included in the assessment process include, but are not limited to, Commercial, Compliance and Quality Assurance. These supplier agreements include language that requires all suppliers to obey national and regional statutory requirements in the country in which they are operating, including any applicable national laws regarding human trafficking, forced labour and other forms of modern slavery.
If remediation is required, Jackson Tools works with its suppliers to improve their standards with corrective action plans and on-going reviews to make sure the standards are maintained. Jackson Tools aims to build relationships with its suppliers to ensure adherence to its values and ethical standards.
EFFECTIVENESS.
​
Jackson Tools carries out supplier audits and, where issues are identified, it works with the supplier to ensure improvements are made. These audits include interviews with the management & inspections of production sites. Audit findings or non-conformances are prioritized based on risk. Should a critical issue be identified, Jackson Tools would require a timely response from the supplier, and if a supplier failed to adequately remediate the issue, the relationships would be re-evaluated and, if necessary, terminated.
Jackson Tools believes all efforts to date have been effective in preventing slavery and human trafficking from infecting its supply chain.
This Statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Jackson Tools slavery and human trafficking statement for the previous financial year (FY20).
