Published 1 September 2026. Covering the financial year ended 28 February 2026 and the current financial year ending 28 February 2027.
Our position
Romilly Wilde was built on the idea that there should be no superficiality and no grey areas. That applies to how we make our products as much as to what we say about them.
We do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or our supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we took in the financial year ended 28 February 2026, and the steps we are taking in the year ending 28 February 2027, to make sure it does not happen.
Wilde Beauty Limited is not required to publish a statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We publish one because our customers, our partners and our retailers are entitled to know how we work, and because the standard should not depend on our turnover.
What we mean by modern slavery
Modern slavery covers slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded and child labour, and human trafficking. Human trafficking is where a person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited.
It is a crime, and a violation of fundamental human rights.
Who this applies to
This statement, and the policy behind it, applies to everyone working for us or on our behalf in any capacity. That includes employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors and suppliers.
We expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same standards.
Our business and structure
Romilly Wilde is a proteome-led skincare brand. The trading entity is Wilde Beauty Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 07543855, with its registered office at Alexandra House, St Johns Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2SB, United Kingdom.
We sell directly to customers worldwide through romillywilde.com, and through selected retail partners in the United Kingdom, the United States and internationally.
We are a small team. Most of our people are based in the United Kingdom, employed directly or engaged as specialist consultants on defined briefs.
Our supply chain
Our supply chain is short and deliberately so. It consists of:
- A single contract manufacturer in Italy, who produces our five core products and our travel sizes.
- Ingredient and raw material suppliers, who supply our manufacturer.
- Packaging and component suppliers, covering primary packaging, cartons and outer packaging.
- Third-party logistics providers, operating our warehouses in the United Kingdom and the United States, and the carriers who deliver to our customers.
- Professional and creative services, including agencies, laboratories, photographers, developers and consultants.
We work with a small number of suppliers and we know them. Our senior team deals with them directly rather than through intermediaries, which gives us visibility that a longer chain would not. Manufacturing all of our products with one partner in Italy means a single relationship to oversee, in a jurisdiction covered by EU and Italian labour law.
We recognise that risk is not evenly spread. Raw material and packaging sourcing sits further from our direct oversight than manufacturing does, and we treat those tiers as the areas needing the most attention.
Our policies
This statement sits alongside our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and our internal employment policies. Together they set out how we expect people working for us and with us to be treated.
Our commitments are:
- We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our organisation and our supply chains.
- Preventing, detecting and reporting modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain is the responsibility of everyone working for us or on our behalf. No one working for us should engage in, facilitate, or fail to report any activity that might lead to or suggest a breach of this policy.
- We engage with our suppliers and stakeholders on the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain.
- We take a risk-based approach to our contracting, and we keep it under review. Where the circumstances warrant it, we include specific prohibitions on the use of modern slavery and trafficked labour in our contracts with third parties, and we ask suppliers to confirm compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
- Where we engage workers through employment or recruitment agencies, or where a supplier engages workers through a third party, we may require written confirmation of compliance with that Code.
- As part of our ongoing due diligence, we consider whether the circumstances warrant auditing a supplier's compliance.
- Where we find that an individual or organisation working on our behalf has breached this policy, we act. Depending on the circumstances, that may mean working with the supplier to remediate the breach where remediation is the better outcome for the people affected, or ending the relationship.
We also support the principles set out in the International Labour Organization's fundamental conventions: freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of forced and compulsory labour, the abolition of child labour, and the elimination of discrimination in employment and occupation.
Due diligence
Our approach is proportionate to our size and to where the risk sits.
- We assess new suppliers before we appoint them, covering their location, their labour practices and their own supply chain.
- We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate recognised standards, certifications or independent audit.
- We keep our supplier relationships direct and long term, which makes problems easier to see.
- We review our supply chain annually, and reassess risk whenever we add a supplier, a market or a manufacturing site.
Raising a concern
Anyone who suspects modern slavery in our business or our supply chain should report it. Employees and contractors should raise it with a director. Anyone else can write to us at hello@romillywilde.com.
Concerns raised in good faith will be taken seriously and investigated. No one will suffer detriment for reporting a concern, and we will support anyone who does.
Training and awareness
We provide written training on this policy, covering how to recognise the signs of modern slavery and how to report a concern. It is given to everyone working for us, and to anyone involved in sourcing, procurement or supplier management. We review the material annually and update it as our supply chain changes.
The year ahead
We are expanding into the United States and adding retail partners in this financial year, which brings new logistics providers and new counterparties into our supply chain. Our priorities to 28 February 2027 are to:
- Issue our Supplier Code of Conduct to all manufacturing, ingredient, packaging and logistics suppliers, and obtain written acknowledgement.
- Add modern slavery clauses to supplier agreements as they come up for renewal.
- Complete a documented risk assessment across our supply chain, with attention to raw material and packaging tiers.
- Apply the same due diligence to new logistics, retail and fulfilment partners as we take on US and international distribution.
- Review this statement at the end of the financial year and publish an updated version.
Approval
This statement was approved by the board of Wilde Beauty Limited on 1 September 2026. It covers the financial year ended 28 February 2026 and the financial year ending 28 February 2027, and will be reviewed and updated annually.
