Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for LPD Limited (hereafter referred to as LPD) Statement for financial year 2025-2026

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act (MSA) 2015 and sets out the steps that LPD has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. LPD has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency, in all business dealings and to implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery within the business or our supply chain.

Meeting the threshold

LPD meets the MSA threshold of a business in the UK that supplies goods or services with an annual turnover of £36 million or more to publish an MSA statement each financial year on its website.

Our Business

Established in 1981 and based in Leeds, LPD has grown to become one of the market leaders in both the door and furniture industries. Still very much a family business, our aim has always been to set the standard in high-quality, cutting-edge door and furniture design in the UK. Offering an extensive collection of door and furniture designs tailored to suit all tastes, we pride ourselves on providing the most innovative, visually appealing and technologically advanced door and furniture range. Recognising the important role our trading partners and customers play, our focus over the last decade has been on developing trusted, long-term relationships.
LPD currently employs under 250 staff in the UK, 99% of whom are on permanent contracts, many of whom have been employed since the start of trading in 1981. We do employ third-party organisations to provide specialist skills such as auditing, chain-of-custody work, management reporting, security and IT services.
We currently work with our supply chain partners globally, including 15% in the EU, 5% in the Americas and 80% in the Far East.

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We have conducted thorough reviews of our UK operations and held meetings with key stakeholders and our key supply chain partners within the door part of our business. We are currently rolling out these reviews across the furniture side of the business. This has and will continue to help inform our management teams of key areas to focus on across the whole business as well as improvements to our new policies and Modern Slavery statement.
These key risk areas included:

  1. Contracts with service providers

  2. Management of complex supply chains

  3. Working with supply chains in high-risk regions

  4. Enhancing the training to all staff and key supply chain partners

  5. Gaps in our T&C’s and company codes of practice/policies

Policies in relation to Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

The risk assessment process enabled us to improve our current policies to ensure that the working conditions at suppliers and producers of our products and services we purchase meet the standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). As such LPD has adopted the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code for labour standards in our policies, which are based on the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions. Our updated policies now include:

  1. Induction Training

  2. Employment contracts

  3. Disciplinary and Grievance Policy

  4. LPD Ethical policy

  5. Supplier T&C’s

Further steps to prevent Modern Slavery in our supply chains during 2025-26.

The Directors of each LPD business unit are responsible for compliance in their respective departments and for their supplier relationships. To support our teams, we have formalised internal governance of Modern Slavery and Human Rights at both operational and senior management levels, and updated our trading policies and terms and conditions to reflect our commitment to eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking.

In addition, we aim to continue to conduct the following activities within our business and greater supply chain over the next year:

  1. Undergo an independent ethical audit to international standards to ensure our own full compliance

  2. Implement any actions that arise from the audit in a timely manner

  3. Conduct deeper training with all internal staff so they are aware of the issues

  4. Cascade our new policies out to all our supply chain partners to ensure they communicate these policies and ensure compliance within their supply chains

  5. Continue to engage with and listen to our key stakeholders to ensure we benefit from best practice

  6. Develop a set of key performance indicators to inform our governance teams not only that those targets have been met but also that continual improvements are also being made with respect to our commitment to tackling Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.
