Yubotanics – Modern Slavery Act Statement

Last updated: [Insert Date]

This Modern Slavery Act Statement is made by Yubotanics Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. Although we are a growing company and not currently required by law to publish a statement, we believe it is essential to operate with transparency and accountability across our supply chain.

Modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and the exploitation of individuals have no place in our business or in our extended supplier network.

1. Our Business

Yubotanics is a UK-based skincare company specialising in sensitive-skin-focused, natural-leaning cosmetic products. Our activities include:

  • Ingredient sourcing

  • Small-batch cosmetic manufacturing

  • Online retail

  • Third-party fulfilment and logistics

While our operational footprint is currently modest, we engage with a range of suppliers, manufacturers, and partners. Responsible sourcing and ethical supply chain governance are fundamental to how we operate and scale.

2. Our Approach to Modern Slavery

Yubotanics is firmly committed to:

  • Preventing modern slavery and human trafficking

  • Upholding ethical labour practices

  • Ensuring transparency and fairness across our supply chain

  • Working only with partners who share these values

We do not tolerate any form of:

  • Forced labour

  • Bonded labour

  • Child labour

  • Human trafficking

  • Inhumane or exploitative working conditions

These standards apply to every level of our business.

3. Supply Chain Standards

Our supply chain includes:

  • Ingredient suppliers

  • Packaging suppliers

  • Manufacturing partners

  • Logistics and fulfilment providers

  • Professional service partners

We expect all suppliers to demonstrate:

  • Legal compliance with labour and employment laws

  • Safe, clean, and fair working environments

  • No exploitation or coercion of workers

  • Transparent sourcing and labour documentation

  • Ethical recruitment practices

Any supplier unable to meet these expectations will not be engaged.

4. Supplier Assessment & Due Diligence

As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management, we may request:

  • Ethical sourcing declarations

  • Written confirmation of anti-slavery compliance

  • Proof of regulatory alignment (UK/EU cosmetics law)

  • Labour practice documentation where appropriate

  • Ingredient and material traceability

Although we are still scaling, we aim to strengthen supplier verification as our operations expand.

In cases where concerns arise, we reserve the right to:

  • Request additional documentation

  • Conduct further investigations

  • Terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to meet standards

5. Employee Awareness & Internal Controls

Within our business, we maintain:

  • Compliance with UK employment laws

  • Fair recruitment practices

  • Transparent working conditions

  • Zero tolerance for discrimination, exploitation, or harassment

Employees and contractors are encouraged to report concerns confidentially. We take all reports seriously and act promptly.

6. Training & Awareness

As our business grows, Yubotanics will enhance internal training on:

  • Recognising signs of exploitation

  • Ethical sourcing principles

  • Supplier risk awareness

  • Modern Slavery Act requirements

We are committed to developing stronger internal policies aligned to future growth.

7. Ongoing Commitment & Continuous Improvement

Yubotanics will continue to:

  • Review this statement annually

  • Strengthen supply chain due diligence

  • Improve documentation and transparency

  • Build partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate robust labour and human-rights standards

  • Enhance governance as our product range and operations expand

We view ethical conduct as an ongoing responsibility—not a one-time exercise.

8. Approval

This statement has been approved by Yubotanics Ltd and will be reviewed and updated annually.
