Modern Slavery Statement
One Luggage Limited (One Luggage) has taken out reasonable analysis and brand selection to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business.
References to “our people” only refers to those individuals working on behalf of One Luggage.
This voluntary statement has been published in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps we have taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains. This statement is in respect of our financial year ended 30 June 2023.
Overview
The Act requires commercial organisations supplying goods or services with a turnover of more than £36 million to prepare and publish an annual ‘Slavery and human trafficking statement’. The statement must set out the steps an organisation has taken, if any, during its financial year to ensure that slavery or human trafficking is not taking place in its business or supply chain.
What is modern slavery?
Modern slavery is an international crime, affecting millions of people around the world – a growing global issue that transcends age, gender and ethnicities. Sadly, vulnerable people from overseas as well as across the UK, are forced to work illegally against their will across many different sectors from agriculture, construction, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, and more.

One Luggage is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking. As an equal-opportunities employer, One Luggage is committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for its staff.
One Luggage recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion once in our employment.
