UK Modern Slavery Act

MODERN SLAVERY ACT TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT

Responsible business practices, respect for law, honesty and integrity are central pillars of BMI Group’s corporate culture. BMI Group fully supports the purpose of Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, which is to prevent modern slavery in its organisation and supply chain. We are committed to being a responsible business, acting ethically and transparently, and not knowingly permitting modern slavery in our organisation or our supply chain.

About Us

BMI Group was formed in April 2017 through the combination of the Braas Monier and Icopal groups of companies. We help build stronger communities by delivering shelter, protection and peace of mind through effective and innovative roofing and waterproofing solutions, designed to enhance the way people live and work.

Our Supply Chains

We source a wide range of services and goods including raw materials principally related to the manufacture and supply of roof tiles, membranes, liquid applied waterproofing, and roofing accessories. Our terms and conditions of purchase (which are regularly reviewed and updated when necessary) include warranties requiring our suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws.

Our Policies

Our internal Code of Conduct sets out the guiding principles that govern our own conduct and establishes binding rules when dealing with business partners, including suppliers. That Code of Conduct also requires that we adhere to applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with applicable laws is a fundamental principle at BMI Group (including Klober Limited), and provides the foundation of our various company guidelines. Our Code of Conduct sits alongside our Supplier Code of Conduct and Third Party Risk Assessment Procedure.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

Several initiatives are in place to help us to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery:

• Through our centralised procurement organisation, we continue to refine our supplier due diligence processes (which include engaging with our suppliers to communicate our Supplier Code of Conduct including our expectations relating to responsible sourcing, conducting supplier assessments and comprehensive risk assessments in certain markets and strengthening traceability measures);
• We continue our efforts in maintaining a dedicated compliance email account that enables our employees and third party stakeholders to report any concerns, including concerns regarding modern slavery.
• Our global ethics hotline provides a further channel for employees and third party stakeholders to report online (but also via phone) any non compliance concerns, including concerns regarding modern slavery;
• We are continuously reviewing the local legislative framework that applies in key jurisdictions to ensure best practice across our Group.

Looking Forward

We recognise the need of ongoing vigilance, particularly in light of the different breaches of modern slavery legislation across various industries and sectors.

Therefore, we continue our efforts to evaluate ways to heighten awareness of modern slavery concerns including the provision of practical and tailored training courses for all of our employees. We are also committed to continue our efforts in reviewing and improving processes to identify, prevent, and address the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain, making incremental improvements throughout the course of every year.

In the unlikely event that any modern slavery issues were to be identified, we are well positioned to address them very promptly.
