We have seen an increase in female representation within the upper pay grade, driven largely by the recruitment of women into more senior and higher-paid positions.

With the continued recruitment of more women into the business, we have seen an increase in the proportion of female employees receiving a bonus. This has contributed to a significant reduction in our overall bonus pay gap.

We are committed to reducing our gender pay gap and promoting equality across our organisation. Our key actions include, integrating gender pay gap analysis into management processes to monitor progress, support data-driven decision making, and continue promoting gender balance across all areas of the business.
To achieve a more balanced workforce, we will explore and implement initiatives such as:
- Targeted recruitment campaigns to attract more women into traditionally male-dominated roles, including driving and operational positions.
- Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance and make roles more accessible to a wider talent pool.
- Leadership development programmes aimed at encouraging and preparing women for progression into senior roles.
- Community engagement and outreach to raise awareness of career opportunities available to women within the Transport and Distribution sector.
These actions reflect our long‑term commitment to creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (“MSA”) places a legal requirement on large businesses such as Graham’s Dairies Limited to publish an annual statement of the steps that the organisation has taken during the previous financial year to ensure that modern slavery (including human trafficking) is not taking place in its business or supply chain. This statement is made pursuant to the MSA for the financial year ending 5th April 2024.

We operate three manufacturing sites in the United Kingdom.

RISK MONITORING & COMPLIANCE
As part of our initiative to identify and address risks of slavery in our supply chain we:

• Carry out an annual risk rating of all our suppliers by re-running the assessments described immediately above.
• Only engage workers from reputable employment agencies and always obtain evidence verifying their right to work in the United Kingdom before accepting a worker.
• Encourage openness and support to anyone who raises genuine concern in good faith relating to slavery or human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in any of our supply chains.
• Annual SEDEX Audits (SMETA) with results being published on the SEDEX system to all suppliers and customers.
NEXT STEPS
Following a review of the effectiveness of the steps we have taken to date to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chains, we intend to take the following further steps to combat slavery and human trafficking:
