MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY – JANUARY 2026

As a company, Reliance Garage (Ryedale) Limited, trading as Ray Chapman Motors, works in line with internationally proclaimed human rights principles and ensures that the company does not abuse any part of such principles, in compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

This policy applies to employees, contractors, suppliers and partners and covers both internal operations as well as the supply chain. All employees have a baseline responsibility to follow this policy and report concerns through whistleblowing channels. Managers are trained on identifying risks and responding appropriately. The Whistleblowing Policy provides a safe and confidential method of reporting.

Modern Slavery includes forced labour, debt bondage and human trafficking, as defined below:

-Forced Labour – any work or service exacted under penalty or coercion, where the person has not offered themselves voluntarily

-Debt Bondage – forced work or service to pay off a real or alleged debt, where the debt is never cleared and the worker can never leave

-Human Trafficking – the recruitment, movement or harbouring of people through force, fraud or coercion for exploitation

Our commitment to human rights is outlined in Volvo Cars’ People Policy and Code of Conduct and includes the following:  non-discrimination and equal opportunities, no child labour, no forced labour, freedom of association and collective bargaining, as well as ensuring the health and safety of our employees.

Forced labour, including debt bondage, trafficking and other forms of modern slavery, is not accepted within our business.  We do not engage in or support the use of forced labour, nor shall any employee be required to deposit identity papers at the start of employment.

We have identified and assessed risk across our supply chains and will continue to do so through annual audits. Our suppliers adhere to this policy as a code of conduct.           

This statement has been adopted by Reliance Garage (Ryedale) Limited since

21st January 2019 and reviewed annually.
