EXCALIBUR FURNITURE LTD.
MODERN SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT

Introduction
Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a morally reprehensible act that deprives a person’s liberty
and dignity for another person’s gain. It is a real problem for millions of people around the world,
including many in developed countries, who are being kept and exploited in various forms of slavery.
Every company is at risk of being involved in this crime through its own operations and its supply
chain.
At Excalibur Furniture Ltd, we have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully
committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operation and supply chain. We have
taken concrete steps to tackle modern slavery, as outlined in our statement. This statement sets out
the actions that we have taken to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to our
business, and to implement steps to prevent slavery and human trafficking during the financial year
2023.

Our business and supply chains
• Excalibur Furniture Ltd. Columbia Metals Building, Unit E, Ronald Close, Kempston, Bedfordshire, MK42 7SH, UK.
• Excalibur supply premium quality stackable seating, high end ballroom chairs, meeting room furniture and associated accessories.
• The company operates worldwide.
We establish a relationship of trust and integrity with all our suppliers, which is built upon mutually
beneficial factors. Our supplier selection procedure includes due diligence of the supplier’s
reputation, respect for the law, compliance with health, safety and environmental standards, and
references. To date we have not been made aware of any allegations of human trafficking/slavery
activities against any of our suppliers, but if we were, then we would act immediately against the
supplier and report it to the authorities.

Risk assessment
We conduct a risk assessment of our supply chain by taking into account:
• The risk profile of individual countries based on the Global Slavery Index
• The business services rendered by the suppliers
• The presence of vulnerable demographic groups
• A news analysis and the insights of labour and human rights groups
This assessment determines our response and the risk controls that we implement.

Policies
Excalibur Furniture Ltd operates the following policies for identifying and preventing slavery and
human trafficking in our operations:
• Whistleblowing Policy – we encourage all employees, customers and suppliers to report any
suspicion of slavery or human trafficking without fear of retaliation. We provide a
confidential helpline to protect the identity of whistle-blowers.
• Code of Conduct – our code encourages employees to do the right thing by clearly stating the
actions and behaviour expected of them when representing the business. We strive to
maintain the highest standards of employee conduct and ethical behaviour when operating
abroad and managing our supply chain.
• Purchasing Code – we have updated our Purchasing Code and supplier contracts to make
explicit reference to slavery and human trafficking.

Supplier due diligence
Excalibur Furniture Ltd conducts due diligence on all new suppliers and on existing suppliers at
regular intervals. This includes:
• Assessing risks in the provision of particular services
• Auditing the suppliers, and their health and safety standards, labour relations and employee
contracts
• Requiring improvements to substandard employment practices
• Sanctioning suppliers that fail to improve their performance in line with our requirements
We require all suppliers to attest that:
