Modern Day Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Penlon Limited is committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly and with integrity.
Our Commitment
Penlon Limited is committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly and with integrity. We have zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, child labour or any other form of exploitation within our business, operations and supply chains.
Our Modern Day Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our global business relationships, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere within our end-to-end supply of goods and services to customers. Penlon fully supports the objectives of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the UK Government’s wider commitment to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking. We also recognise the important role that manufacturers and suppliers to the NHS and wider healthcare sector have in identifying, preventing and addressing modern slavery risks within global healthcare supply chains.
The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced specific measures to address modern slavery risks within NHS supply chains, including provisions requiring the development of regulations to help prevent the NHS from procuring goods and services tainted by slavery or human trafficking. The subsequent National Health Service (Procurement, Slavery and Human Trafficking) Regulations 2025, which came into force in May 2026, further strengthen the requirements for NHS bodies to assess and address modern slavery risks within healthcare procurement.
Penlon is committed to supporting the UK Government’s objectives to eradicate Modern Slavery and human trafficking and recognise the significant role that industry and NHS supply-chain must play in both combatting it and supporting victims. These objectives and to provide appropriate assurance to our NHS and other healthcare customers regarding the responsible management of our Supply chain.
Our approach is based on risk assessment, due diligence, supplier engagement, monitoring, training, transparency and continuous improvement.
