Anti-Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
D. Lawrence Drinks & Cigars is committed to conducting business responsibly and respecting the rights and dignity of people involved in our operations and supply chains.
We do not tolerate slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage or exploitative child labour.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to anyone working for or on behalf of D. Lawrence Drinks & Cigars.
We expect suppliers, distributors, fulfilment providers, contractors and other business partners to uphold lawful and ethical working practices.
Our commitment
We aim to:
- Take proportionate steps to identify and address modern slavery risks.
- Work with suppliers that respect workers’ rights.
- Consider concerns when selecting and reviewing business partners.
- Encourage people to report suspected exploitation.
- Respond responsibly when concerns arise.
Our approach will develop as the business and its supply chain grow.
Responsible sourcing
Our supply chain may include drinks and cigar producers, importers, distributors, packaging suppliers, warehouses and delivery providers.
Risks can arise at different stages, including agriculture, manufacturing, packing, transport and recruitment.
When selecting or reviewing suppliers, we will consider relevant information about their business practices. Depending on the risk, this may involve reviewing published policies, asking questions about sourcing and labour conditions, or requesting further evidence.
This policy does not imply that every supplier or production site has been independently audited.
Standards we expect
We expect those working with us to:
- Prohibit forced labour and human trafficking.
- Respect applicable employment, wage and working-time laws.
- Avoid unlawful recruitment fees and practices that trap workers in debt.
- Allow workers to retain control of their identity documents.
- Provide safe working conditions.
- Prevent unlawful or exploitative child labour.
- Cooperate in addressing credible concerns.
Reporting a concern
If you suspect exploitation connected with our business or a supplier, email hello@dldrinks.com.
Provide any information you can safely share, including the organisation involved and the nature of your concern. You do not need to prove wrongdoing before raising a concern in good faith.
We will handle reports sensitively and limit disclosure where possible. We cannot promise absolute confidentiality where information must be shared to protect someone or meet a legal obligation.
We will not tolerate retaliation against someone for raising a concern in good faith.
Responding to concerns
Where a credible concern arises, we will consider appropriate action. This may include:
- Seeking specialist advice.
- Referring information to relevant authorities.
- Requesting corrective action from a supplier.
- Suspending or ending a business relationship where appropriate.
We will consider the safety and welfare of affected workers when deciding how to respond. Immediate termination is not always the safest or most effective remedy.
Awareness and review
We will make this policy available to people working with us and provide guidance appropriate to their responsibilities.
We intend to review it at least annually and when significant changes to our operations, suppliers or identified risks make a review necessary.
Emergency or external support
If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.
