Modern Slavery Statement
In accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015
At Furnt, we are fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and throughout our global supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery is a real and pressing issue, and we are determined to ensure that it has no place in our business or those we work with.
Our Commitment
Furnt operates with integrity and transparency at every level. We are committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure that slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking are not taking place within our organisation or any part of our supply chain. We uphold effective systems and controls to support this commitment.
Our Business and Internal Policies
Furnt is a manufacturer, importer, and supplier to the furniture industry, with our head office located in the UK.
We have implemented a series of robust internal policies designed to promote ethical conduct, including:
-
Business Integrity Policy
-
Environmental and Ethical Policy

Human Rights Policy
-
Health & Safety Policy
-
Quality Assurance Procedures
-
Occupational Hygiene Standards
All new team members undergo a formal induction process, and we only work with established employment agencies that ensure individuals are legally eligible and free to work in the UK.
We also maintain an open-door management system, where employees are encouraged to raise any concerns confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Our health and safety practices exceed statutory obligations, ensuring safe working conditions and supporting the welfare of all staff.
Our Supply Chain Standards
Furnt works with a diverse network of suppliers across the globe, providing both raw materials and manufactured products.
We conduct detailed due diligence on all suppliers, which includes:
-
Ethical audits
-
On-site factory visits
-
Ongoing supplier reviews
To strengthen our approach further, we are implementing a Supplier Labour Declaration, which outlines Furnt’s expectations and the supplier’s obligations in relation to modern slavery legislation. This declaration reinforces our zero-tolerance approach to unethical labour practices and applies to all existing and new supply partners.
Our Position
We believe that high standards in human rights and ethical sourcing go hand in hand with good business. As such, Furnt will continue to review, improve and implement policies and procedures that reflect our unwavering commitment to fairness, accountability, and human dignity.
This statement is made in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Furnt’s slavery and human trafficking statement.
