Our Structure, Operations and Supply Chains

Structure

Roy Galvin & Co is headquartered in Osborne Park, Perth WA, with 25 branches across WA and the NT. The Company is governed by our Board, who endorse our Modern Slavery Policy.

Operations

We operate primarily within Australia across product procurement, warehousing, and distribution, including both trade and retail supply channels.

Supply Chains

Most suppliers are Australian manufacturers and distributors. We also deal with international suppliers directly in Europe and Asia.

Risks and Mitigation

Overseas manufacturing

We require all suppliers to submit their modern slavery policies during onboarding. For international manufacturers we source from directly, we conduct factory visits with a goal of at least annually.

Migrant labour in logistics

Assessed as low risk. All staff are employed locally. External lawyers conduct annual compliance checks to ensure employment contracts meet or exceed relevant awards. We also offer an employee assistance program and advocate a culture of work-life balance.

Measuring Effectiveness

Monitor supplier compliance and assess modern slavery risk on an ongoing basis.

Investigate any complaints or reports of unethical practices.
