Anti-Modern Slavery Statement

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that CribNosh 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 during the financial year ending 2026.

Our Business and Organizational Structure

CribNosh is a culinary technology platform that connects local, independent cooks with customers seeking authentic, home-cooked meals. Operating primarily in the United Kingdom, our mission is to empower local talent and provide communities with accessible, high-quality food options.

We do not directly employ the vast majority of cooks on our platform; rather, we facilitate their business through our technology. However, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that our platform is not used to exploit individuals and that our own corporate operations remain ethical and transparent.

Our Supply Chains

Our community is built on trust, and our supply chain reflects the diverse ecosystem of partners who make CribNosh possible:

Food Creators: Independent individuals and small businesses who prepare meals. They are the heart of our platform, and we maintain strict oversight of their operations.
Delivery Partners: A network of drivers and riders who ensure meals are delivered safely and efficiently.
Technology & Infrastructure: Providers of cloud services, software development, data security, and IT hardware.
Corporate & Professional Services: Marketing agencies, legal counsel, recruitment agencies, and facilities management for our offices.

Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our internal policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.

Anti-Slavery PolicySets out our stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help.
Recruitment PolicyWe operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or being forced to work against their will.
Whistleblowing PolicyWe encourage all employees, customers, and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities, or the supply chains of, our organization. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking.
Supplier Code of ConductWe are committed to ensuring that our suppliers adhere to the highest standards of ethics. Suppliers are required to demonstrate that they provide safe working conditions where necessary, treat workers with dignity and respect, and act ethically and within the law in their use of labor.

Due Diligence & Vetting Processes

We employ rigorous validation and onboarding processes embedded directly into our technology platform to ensure compliance and safety across our network:

Food Creators

Before activation, all cooks must undergo a comprehensive verification process including:

Validation of identity and background checks.
Verification of Health Permits and Public Liability Insurance.
Confirmation of FSA Food Hygiene Rating (0-5 stars).
Sentiment of certifications and food safety training.

Drivers & Delivery Partners

We ensure all delivery partners meet strict legal requirements:

Verification of valid Driver's License and Vehicle Registration.
Confirmation of appropriate Vehicle Insurance.
Right to work checks where applicable.

Internal Staff

Our internal recruitment process is designed to prevent exploitation:

Complete "Right to Work in the UK" checks for all employees.
Verification of identity documents (Passport/ID).
Direct employment contracts with transparent terms.

Risk Assessment

We recognize that the risk of modern slavery varies across different sectors and geographies. We have identified the following areas as carrying a potential risk:

Temporary Labor: The use of agency workers can sometimes present risks of exploitation. We mitigate this by using only specified, reputable employment agencies.
Food Supply Chain: While we do not source food ingredients directly for cooks, we provide guidance to our cooks on ethical sourcing and monitor for any signs of malpractice in the businesses operating on our platform.
Cleaning & Facilities Services: We ensure that any third-party providers for our corporate offices pay the Living Wage and adhere to strict labor standards.

Measuring Effectiveness

We use the following key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure how effective we have been to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:

Audit ResultsPercentage of suppliers and partners audited with zero non-compliance issues found.

Training Completion100% of staff required to complete Modern Slavery training annually.

Whistleblowing ReportsNumber of reports received and time taken to investigate and resolve them.

Supplier VettingPercentage of new suppliers successfully vetted against our Code of Conduct before engagement.

Training and Awareness

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to our staff. All directors and employees have been briefed on the subject. We also expect our business partners to provide training to their staff and suppliers and providers.

This statement has been approved by the organization's Board of Directors.
