Warehousing UK

The resources provided in this programme were funded with support from our Consumer Goods sponsors but are relevant to businesses from a wide range of sectors who own, use or manage warehousing services in their wider operations and supply chains; apparel and general merchandise, construction, consumer goods, food service and beyond.

Our resources, including an awareness raising film, practical toolkit and self-assessment checklist of best practice actions focus on supporting businesses to take practical steps in understanding and managing the risk of labour exploitation occurring in this context.

Stronger Together’s UK Warehousing resources also include guidance on appropriate management of outsourced services to contractors, such as cleaning, catering, security and maintenance, where the risk of labour exploitation is also significant.

Understand and manage the risk labour exploitation occurring in UK warehousing labour supply chains and operations by attending our workshop ‘Tackling Labour Exploitation in UK Warehousing’. This training is ideal for those in roles including Warehouse Operation Managers or Supervisors, Warehouse HR Managers, Labour Providers or those responsible for addressing human rights risks across the whole supply chain.

Free and discounted places are available for those supplying to our Programme Sponsors. 

In partnership with Stronger Together, UK Warehousing Association (UKWA) have launched a Modern Slavery Policy for their UKWA Members. The UKWA Modern Slavery Policy is designed to help raise awareness of this important issue among members, as well as highlighting their responsibilities, to protect them – and their workforce – from the risks involved. Members can request a copy of the Modern Slavery Policy template by contacting the UKWA’s Membership team.
