Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This statement is made on behalf of Ingram Motoring Group Limited pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the 'Act'), and constitutes the Group's slavery and human trafficking declaration. This statement sets out our arrangements to tackle and eliminate modern slavery within the financial year of 2021/2022 and applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including, but not limited to, employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors and suppliers.

About Ingram Motoring Group

Ingram Motoring Group Limited, a family owned company established over 40 years ago, has become the dealer of choice for drivers who are looking for good advice, good value and great service in Ayrshire, Scotland and beyond. Our aim is for every Ingram customer to drive away smiling.

We are committed to partnering with one of the most trusted brands in the world - Volkswagen and the Volkswagen Groups’ companies: Skoda and Seat. Ensuring our ethical values and moral standards align extensively with one another is of the utmost importance to Ingram Motoring Group. Maintaining a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery and human trafficking in any of the business operations, the Group has, and will continue to be, committed to implementing systems and controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation in accordance with the Act. We expect that our brand partners will hold their own employees, business partners and other third parties to the same high standards.

Responsibilities

The steps we are taking throughout 2021 to prevent modern slavery or human trafficking within the organisation:

• Continued communication regarding our whistleblowing system, responsible for receiving and processing reports of serious regulatory violations. Our employees, business partners and other third parties may use our whistleblowing system to report modern slavery concerns or incidents.
• Ongoing regular risk assessments ensuring compliance with Right to Work documentation for new employees to prevent employees working illegally.
• Due diligence to guarantee suppliers are taking the necessary steps to mitigate any risks on the use of child labour, slavery and human trafficking.

Our Commitment

Ingram Motoring Group is dedicated to the prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our organisation. Employees, Directors and all stakeholders must not engage in, facilitate or fail to report any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy. We are in the process of adapting and re-promoting our existing policies to incorporate modern slavery and human trafficking issues, including our whistleblowing policy to ensure employees are aware of the steps to be taken in order to report any concerns confidentially.

The Group acknowledges that modern slavery exists and everyone has a vital role to play in tackling the issue of exploitation. In the event that any of our business partners are found to be engaging in slavery or other unethical working practices, we will take steps to address those issues with this business partner, seek to drive improved standards and, if necessary, terminate relationships with any such business partners.

This statement has been approved by the Ingram Motoring Group Board of Directors on 30th August 2021.
