Modern Slavery Statement

LCT Fulfilment Services Ltd is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We are opposed to modern slavery and human trafficking in any form, and we are committed to preventing them from taking place within our own operations or anywhere in our supply chains.

This statement sets out the steps we are taking to understand and address the risk of modern slavery, having regard to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Our position on the section 54 requirement

We want to be honest about where we stand. Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires commercial organisations with an annual turnover of £36 million or more to publish a slavery and human trafficking statement each financial year. LCT Fulfilment Services Ltd is a newly incorporated company and falls well below that threshold, so we are not currently legally required to publish a statement under section 54.

Even so, we believe transparency matters from day one. We have chosen to set out our position voluntarily, and we will keep our approach under review as the business grows. We will not invent processes we do not yet have; instead, we describe what we actually do and what we intend to put in place as we scale.

Our business and supply chains

LCT Fulfilment Services Ltd provides managed fulfilment and coordination services for low-carbon technology installations, including heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage and EV charging. We coordinate surveys, vetted installers, compliance, certification, warranties and payments on behalf of business clients.

Because much of the physical work is delivered by third-party installers and other partners, our supply chain is where the most meaningful risk of labour exploitation could arise. We treat the selection and oversight of those partners as the core of our approach.

Our approach to due diligence

When we vet installers and partners, we expect them to comply with all applicable labour and employment law, including laws relating to wages, working hours, the right to work and safe working conditions. Our expectations on ethical conduct sit alongside the checks we make on competence, accreditation and insurance.

As the business develops, we intend to strengthen our due diligence by:

• building clear modern slavery expectations into our partner onboarding and written agreements;
• asking partners about their own labour standards and, where appropriate, their own policies on modern slavery;
• giving the people who manage our supply relationships practical guidance on the warning signs of exploitation and how to raise a concern; and
• taking proportionate action, up to and including ending a relationship, where we identify a credible risk that is not addressed.

Raising a concern

We encourage anyone, whether a member of our team, an installer, a partner or a member of the public, to raise concerns about actual or suspected modern slavery connected to our business. We will treat reports seriously and confidentially, and we will not penalise anyone for raising a genuine concern in good faith.

If you have a concern, please contact us at hello@lowcarbon.services, or write to us at LCT Fulfilment Services Ltd, 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, please contact the emergency services.

Review and governance

This is our first statement and reflects the position of a young company. We will review it at least annually, and sooner if our circumstances change materially, and we will update it as our operations and supply chains grow and our due diligence matures.
