Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy

1. Introduction

Hemmo & Co Ltd (trading as Hem & Boo) is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business activities. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in any form, whether in our own operations or our supply chains.

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf, including employees, contractors, and suppliers.

2. About Our Business

Hemmo & Co Ltd is a UK-based pet products company operating the Hem & Boo brand — dog accessories including harnesses, leads, collars, and toys (hemandboo.co.uk).

We are based at Units 1–4 Carr Lane Business Park, Hoylake, CH47 4AZ, United Kingdom.

3. Our Supply Chains

Our supply chains include the sourcing of pet accessories and toys from UK and international suppliers. We take steps to understand the nature of our supply chains and assess where modern slavery risks may exist.

4. Our Commitment

We will not knowingly support or conduct business with any organisation involved in slavery or human trafficking. Specifically, we are committed to:

• Ensuring our own business practices do not facilitate modern slavery or human trafficking
• Working only with suppliers who share our values on ethical employment
• Taking appropriate steps to identify and respond to risks within our supply chain
• Encouraging transparency throughout our operations and supply chains

5. Due Diligence

As part of our commitment to identifying and addressing any risk of modern slavery, we take the following steps:

• Assessing potential suppliers before entering into new business relationships
• Requiring suppliers to confirm their compliance with applicable employment laws and ethical standards
• Where appropriate, seeking assurances or evidence of compliance from suppliers and reviewing supplier practices where concerns arise

6. Reporting Concerns

We encourage anyone with concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking — whether within our operations or our supply chain — to report them promptly. Reports can be made to us directly:

• Email: admin@hemandboo.co.uk

7. Training and Awareness

We raise awareness of modern slavery risks with our team and ensure that anyone involved in procurement or supplier management is aware of our expectations and the warning signs of modern slavery.

8. Policy Review

This policy will be reviewed annually, or sooner if there are significant changes to our business or supply chains.
