for the Year Ended 1 January 2023
The Business
Ten Entertainment Group plc is a company registered in England and Wales, and the parent company of Tenpin Limited which operates 49 family entertainment centres throughout the UK.
Zero tolerance
The Company recognises that modern slavery is a crime that can take many forms such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking. The Company has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery both within its own businesses and in its dealings with other organisations.
Suppliers
The Company itself remains committed to acting ethically and expects the same from those with whom the Company does business. During the year, the Company has remained committed to working with its suppliers to build greater transparency within its supply chains. As part of its contracting processes the Company has required its suppliers to commit to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and the Company's policies, including as a minimum meeting the standards set out in the Company's Ethical Trading Policy which include applying the principles of the E.T.I. (Ethical Trading Initiative) and relevant International Labour Organisation standards and conventions.
The Company, where required, conducts an appropriate level of due diligence on its suppliers. The Company would address any failure by a supplier to meet the Company's standards on a case-by-case basis. Organisations that fail to meet the Company's standards may jeopardise their ability to continue to do business with the Company and, ultimately, the Company may cease trading with any such supplier.
Company Policies
The Company has strict HR policies and standards to enshrine compliance with legislation and fundamental rights at work including freedom of association, dignity at work and prevention of discrimination throughout employment. The Company's policies and standards are readily available to its staff through the Company's intranets and notice boards.
Reporting
The Company actively encourages its employees to report any activity they believe to be unlawful and/or in breach of the Company's policies and standards. An anonymous, and confidential online form line is available to all employees, details of which are in the Company's Whistleblowing Policy.
Responsibility/Review
