Anti-Slavery and Trafficking Statement – 2026
Policy Statement
Cambridge Nutritional Foods (CNF) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. We are dedicated to developing, raising awareness of, and implementing effective policies and practices that support the eradication of hidden labour exploitation.
Although CNF is not currently required to publish a statement under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we have chosen to do so voluntarily as part of our commitment to responsible business practices and supply chain transparency. This statement outlines the steps taken by CNF during 2026 to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
Overall accountability for this statement and associated policies sits with the CNF Statutory Directors
Definition
Hidden labour exploitation refers to the exploitation of job applicants and workers by third-party individuals or criminal groups, other than the direct employer or labour provider.
Such exploitation can include forced labour, human trafficking for labour exploitation, payment for work-finding services, and work-related exploitation such as forced accommodation arrangements. These practices are often concealed by perpetrators, and victims may be reluctant or unable to come forward.

Cross Functional Working Group

Focus Areas for 2026
1. Supply Chain
As part of our supplier approval process, prospective suppliers are informed of our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and our commitment to identifying and eradicating hidden labour exploitation.
We expect all suppliers to operate in accordance with applicable anti-slavery and labour protection legislation and to support the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
During 2026, we will continue to:
- Work closely with both current and prospective suppliers to reinforce expectations regarding compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
- Ensure our anti-slavery policy is visible and accessible through both our supplier approval and supplier performance management processes.
- Review supplier relationships and conduct ongoing due diligence where appropriate.
2. Distributors
We are committed to embedding anti-slavery principles within our relationships with international distributors.
All new and renewed distribution agreements will include provisions relating to anti-slavery and human trafficking. Existing agreements continue to be reviewed and updated where necessary.
Regular meetings are held with distributors, which include reviews of contractual obligations and compliance expectations.
We will continue to:
- Build long-standing and transparent relationships with distributors to help minimise risk within our supply chains.
- Seek confirmation that current and future distributors understand the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
- Seek assurance that distributors have appropriate measures in place to communicate these obligations to their consultants and associated parties.
- Consider termination of distributor agreements where serious concerns relating to modern slavery are identified.
- CNF recognises that risks associated with modern slavery may vary across jurisdictions, labour models and supply chain activities. We aim to apply a proportionate and risk-based approach to supplier and labour provider oversight.
3. Recruitment and Workforce
We remain committed to responsible recruitment practices and the protection of all workers engaged by CNF.
During 2026, we will continue to:
- Audit labour providers and agency worker due diligence processes against Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) requirements.
- Raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery with all employees on Anti-Slavery Day, 18 October 2026, through our employee communications platform.
- Review and update our Modern Slavery Policy annually, ensuring it remains accessible to all Stakeholders.
- Enczurage employees to recognise potential indicators of exploitation and understand how to report concerns.
- Review relevant case studies and industry developments to identify improvements to CNF practices.
- Contract only with formal labour providers that operate as identifiable and legitimate business entities.
- Continue strengthening our focus on health and wellbeing, promoting an open culture where Stakeholders feel safe to raise concerns.
CNF takes its commitment to ending modern slavery extremely seriously. Employees are encouraged to raise any concerns with a supervisor or manager.
Where an individual does not feel comfortable reporting concerns directly, they may contact the Company’s confidential whistleblowing hotline on 0800 915 1571. Reports may be raised confidentially and will be reviewed appropriately.
Our Response to Tackling Modern Slavery
