Moroccan White Modern Slavery Policy

Moroccan White is not legally required to issue a statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act due to business turnover thresholds. However, we are committed to conducting all aspects of our business in an ethical and transparent manner and acknowledge our duties and responsibilities under the Act.

Forced or compulsory labour, human trafficking, and other forms of modern slavery represent some of the most severe human rights abuses. We all have a responsibility to remain vigilant to the risks within both Moroccan White and our supply chain.

Moroccan White's values ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and respect. We are fundamentally opposed to slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, the sale or exploitation of children, and all exploitative workplace practices.

Moroccan White requires that all contractors and suppliers do not engage in any such practices and do not knowingly contract with third parties that do. We will terminate business relations with any contractor or supplier found to be in breach of anti-slavery and human trafficking obligations.

As part of our due diligence procedures, we have implemented an additional vetting process. Potential new sub-contractors must sign up to our ‘Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Supply Chain Commitment’ (outlined below) before working with Moroccan White.
