Our business

This statement is made on behalf of Haus Holdings Ltd (“Döner Shack”). Döner Shack is a UK-based restaurant chain, serving real German kebaps and beers. Döner Shack has 3 outlets with over 50 employees and plans to expand to over 80 restaurants in the UK. This statement is made pursuant to section 54 (1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Döner Shack’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31/12/20.

Our commitment

Döner Shack is committed to ensuring that it conducts its business ethically and with integrity. Döner Shack does not use slave labour anywhere in its own business, nor does Döner Shack tolerate forced or compulsory labour or human trafficking. Döner Shack is committed to ensuring that no such behaviour takes place in connection with the company. This commitment extends to Döner Shack’s supply chain. Döner Shack’s supplier relationships are based on lawful, efficient, and fair practices. We expect our suppliers to obey the laws that require them to treat workers fairly and provide a safe and healthy work environment. Döner Shack will not knowingly use any supplier that uses forced, prison, or indentured labour. Döner Shack will only work with suppliers who comply with all laws regarding slavery and human trafficking in the countries in which the suppliers are doing business.

Conducting business

Döner Shack currently request that its suppliers comply with all applicable laws and adopt compliant working practices, including not utilising any form of compulsory labour or human trafficking. Döner Shack’s suppliers are obliged to pass these requirements on to their own suppliers, and Döner Shack expects all of its suppliers to police their own supply chains in order to root out modern slavery of any kind. Döner Shack encourages anyone with information regarding modern slavery and human trafficking taking place at the Company or anywhere in its supply chain to make a report to the company’s People team/Supply Chain Department.
