1. Our Commitment
At Guru Makeup Emporium we believe that everyone has the right to live and work freely. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and other human rights abuses have no place in our business or our supply chain. We support the principles of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and take our responsibility to act ethically and transparently very seriously.
2. Understanding Modern Slavery
Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, child labour and human trafficking. We are committed to preventing modern slavery in all its forms.
3. Our Business and Supply Chain
Guru Makeup Emporium is a small retail business based in London, UK. We supply professional cosmetics primarily to the TV, film, and entertainment industries.
We purchase products directly from reputable suppliers mainly in the UK, USA, and France. We do not manufacture products ourselves, but we rely on trusted suppliers to maintain ethical labour standards within their own operations and supply chains.
4. Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery
Although we are not legally required to publish a modern slavery statement, we believe it is good business practice to uphold high ethical standards. To help prevent modern slavery:
-
We aim to work only with established, reputable suppliers who share our values.
-
We seek assurance from suppliers about their compliance with relevant labour and human rights laws.
-
We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate transparent and ethical sourcing practices.
-
If we identify risks or concerns, we will review the relationship and take appropriate action.
5. Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone including employees, suppliers, customers, or members of the public, to report concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices in our supply chain.
You can contact us confidentially at:

All reports will be treated seriously, reviewed promptly, and handled with discretion.
6. Accountability and Review
Responsibility for this policy lies with Aine Sweeney. This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant and reflects our commitment to ethical business practices.
