Organisation's Structure and Business and Company Supply Chains

Synergy Plastics Ltd was founded in 1997, primarily set up to support the demands of small trade precision injection moulding needs in South Wales. The company rapidly expanded and now supplies small and large plastic components globally.

Synergy has a modern fleet of injection moulding machines up to 1300 tons. The company has the capability of running a 24/7 production schedule to maintain a rapid response and support to our customer base all adhering to the BSI ISO 9001 standard.

The Company's supply chains include subcontractors, recruitment consultants, manufacturers, service providers. We expect all suppliers and service providers to adhere to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to be transparent regarding their anti-slavery and human trafficking policy.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

The initiative to identify and mitigate risk ensures that the appropriate due diligence procedures are taken when engaging suppliers. The processes include:
Reviewing employment policies, labour conditions, recruitment processes (including the use of agents and intermediaries to recruit employees), outsourcing arrangements and the use of low-paid or temporary employees.

Where possible, building long-standing relationships with suppliers and making clear the company's expectations of business behaviour.

Where appropriate, providing training to relevant employees to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking issues.
