Modern Slavery Policy
Our statement on preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
Last updated: September 2026.
Our commitment
H. R. Goodale (Northern) Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms across our business and supply chains. We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we expect the same high standards from our contractors, suppliers and other business partners.
Our business and supply chains
We provide nationwide pallet, parcel and specialist distribution and storage services from our depot in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Our supply chains include suppliers of vehicles, fuel, parts and equipment, subcontracted hauliers, and providers of business services.
Due diligence
We carry out reasonable checks on the businesses we work with, particularly subcontractors and suppliers.
We expect our suppliers and subcontractors to hold their own policies prohibiting modern slavery and human trafficking.
We review our supply chains periodically to identify and manage areas of potential risk.
Recruitment and employment
We carry out right-to-work checks on all employees in line with UK employment law, and pay all staff fairly and directly, in line with National Minimum and National Living Wage requirements.
Raising concerns
Any employee, driver, supplier or member of the public who has concerns that modern slavery or human trafficking may be taking place in connection with our business or supply chains should raise this with the traffic office or a Director as soon as possible.
Review
This policy is reviewed periodically and may be updated to reflect changes in our business, our supply chains, or the law.
