Modern Slavery Act Policy Statement

Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps QCD Holdings Ltd T/A QCD Revive Collision Centre ("the Company") has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.

Our Business

QCD Holdings Ltd is a UK-based automotive investment company specialising in vehicle accident repair, servicing, and maintenance. We operate exclusively within the United Kingdom and are committed to ethical business practices and high standards of integrity in all our operations.

Our Commitment

QCD Holdings Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We are also committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chains include the sourcing of automotive parts, tools, and equipment necessary for vehicle repair, servicing, and maintenance. We work with a range of UK-based suppliers, including manufacturers, distributors, and service providers. While we primarily source within the UK, we recognise that risks related to modern slavery can still exist, particularly if our suppliers source materials from other regions.

Due Diligence Processes

To identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains, QCD Holdings Ltd has implemented the following due diligence processes:

  • Risk Assessment: We assess potential risks related to modern slavery in our UK-based supply chains, particularly focusing on suppliers who may source materials or components from outside the UK.

  • Supplier Code of Conduct: We require all our UK suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes commitments to fair labour practices and the prohibition of forced labour and human trafficking.

  • Supplier Audits: We conduct regular audits of our UK suppliers to ensure compliance with our ethical standards and legal obligations, especially those supplying critical parts and equipment.

  • Training: We provide training to our employees, particularly those involved in procurement and supply chain management within the UK, to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and to promote vigilance in identifying and addressing these risks.

Our Policies

In addition to this statement, QCD Holdings Ltd has implemented the following policies to support our commitment to preventing modern slavery:

  • Ethical Trading Policy

  • Whistleblowing Policy

  • Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

These policies are designed to ensure that our employees, suppliers, and business partners within the UK uphold the highest standards of ethical behaviour.

Monitoring and Review

QCD Holdings Ltd is committed to continuously improving our practices to combat modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, risk assessments, and due diligence processes to ensure they remain effective and up-to-date.
