Modern Slavery Statement

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 on behalf of LKQ SYNETIQ Limited (“LKQ SYNETIQ”) for the financial year endng 31 December 2025 and covers the activities of LKQ SYNETIQ.

LKQ SYNETIQ Limited aims to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in the following ways (but not limited to):

  • Investigating and vetting our supply chains policies, contracts, contractors etc.;
  • Continually auditing and reviewing our practices – checking all employees are paid at least the minimum wage and have the right to work;
  • By encouraging the reporting of any concerns and protecting whistleblowers;
  • By having Zero tolerance for slavery and human trafficking.

Our Organisation

LKQ SYNETIQ Limited  based Salvage and Dismantling services company. We work with the insurance industry, fleet operators and repairers to process vehicle salvage, dismantling, recycling and green parts supply.

Our staff are largely directly employed and are not in any category which is generally seen to be vulnerable to modern slavery in this country, so our focus is to ensure there are policies and procedures in place for our contractors and suppliers.

Our Supply Chain

We purchase used vehicle for dismantling from auctions based in the UK. In addition to dealing with auctions we deal with other suppliers to support the operations and commercial aspects of our business.

LKQ SYNETIQ Limited is committed to continuously improving its practices to identify and eliminate any slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and to act ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships.

Due Diligence

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we seek to:

  • identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
  • mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains
  • monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
  • protect people who speak up about these issues.

Combatting Slavery and Human Trafficking

Within our business we have assessed the risks in our supply chains and within our business to be relatively low. One of the reasons for this is because we are guided by our overall approach to doing business which requires high standards of honesty and integrity from our team. Furthermore, as part of the overall circular economy, we are selling and reselling component parts, as opposed to manufacturing or fabricating the parts themselves.

Policies

LKQ SYNETIQ Limited does have policies which aim to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain. These include:

  • A Whistleblowing Policy which encourages staff to report concerns including any related to modern slavery/trafficking and child or forced labour.
  • A Modern Day Slavery Policy which encourages staff to report any specific concerns in relation to modern slavery

Looking Ahead

Over the course of the next financial year we will continue to enhance our procedures to help us identify, prevent and mitigate any risks of modern slavery or human trafficking in relation to new and existing suppliers.
