Modern Slavery Statement

‍

Branding Brothers® has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation.

‍

We are not currently required to publish a modern slavery statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, as this requirement applies to commercial organisations carrying on business in the UK with an annual turnover of £36 million or more. However, we believe it is good practice to be clear about our position and expectations.

‍

Our business is primarily service-based, but we may work with external suppliers for print production, event graphics, installation, fabrication, merchandise, logistics, digital services and freelance support. We recognise that some areas of production and supply can carry increased risk, particularly where physical goods, fast deadlines, labour-intensive production or international sourcing are involved.

‍

We aim to reduce risk by:

• working with reputable suppliers and partners
• avoiding suppliers where there are credible concerns around labour practices
• asking questions where supply chain risks are unclear
• maintaining professional oversight of production partners
• encouraging concerns to be raised early
• reviewing supplier relationships where standards are not met

‍

We expect suppliers and collaborators to comply with all applicable employment, human rights and anti-slavery laws.

Any concern relating to modern slavery, exploitation or unethical labour practices can be raised with us at:

legal@brandingbros.uk

‍

We will take any concern seriously and review it appropriately.

Anti-Bribery & Corruption Statement

‍

Branding Brothers® does not tolerate bribery, corruption, improper influence or dishonest business practices.

‍

We believe creative work should be won through the quality of the idea, the strength of the relationship, the clarity of the proposal and the value of the work — not through backhanders, favours or anything that looks even vaguely like a brown envelope in a bad drama.

‍

We do not offer, request or accept bribes in any form.

This applies to our work with clients, agencies, production companies, public bodies, suppliers, freelancers, venues, contractors and third-party partners.

‍

We will not:

• offer gifts, payments or benefits to improperly influence a decision
• accept gifts, payments or benefits intended to influence our judgement
• make facilitation payments
• disguise improper payments as expenses, commissions or supplier fees
• knowingly work with partners involved in bribery or corruption
• misrepresent costs, commissions or commercial arrangements

‍

Reasonable hospitality or small gestures may be accepted where they are proportionate, transparent and not intended to influence a business decision. Anything that could create a conflict of interest, or appear to do so, should be avoided.

‍

If we become aware of suspected bribery or corruption connected to our work, we will review the matter and take appropriate action.

Sustainability Statement

‍

Branding Brothers® believes good creative work should be thoughtful about the impact it leaves behind — visually, commercially and environmentally.

‍

We work across both digital and physical creative outputs, including brand systems, websites, motion assets, print, signage, event graphics, content and production design. We recognise that creative decisions can affect material use, waste, transport, energy demand and supplier choices.

Our approach is practical rather than performative. We are not claiming to be perfect. We are committed to making better decisions where we can.

‍

Where appropriate, we aim to:

• reduce unnecessary print and production waste
• design with reuse, repurposing and modularity in mind
• use digital approvals to limit repeated physical sampling
• recommend responsible materials and suppliers where practical
• avoid overproduction where smaller, smarter runs will do
• consider installation, derig and disposal at the planning stage
• reduce unnecessary travel where remote collaboration works
• use renewable energy where available within our own operations
• work with suppliers who can support more responsible production choices

‍

For events and physical production, we encourage early conversations around sustainability so it can be designed into the process, rather than added at the end as a panic sticker.

‍

Sustainability is not just about choosing recycled stock. It is about making sharper decisions: what needs to exist, how it is made, how long it lasts, and what happens after the moment has passed.

‍

Accessibility Statement

‍

Branding Brothers® aims to make its website and digital content as accessible and usable as reasonably possible.

We believe good design should be clear, inclusive and easy to use. Accessibility is not a bolt-on. It is part of making better work.

‍

We aim to consider accessibility across:

• readable typography
• colour contrast
• clear navigation
• keyboard usability
• alt text for meaningful images
• descriptive links and buttons
• mobile responsiveness
• logical heading structure
• reduced reliance on motion where possible
• clear forms and contact routes

‍

Where possible, we aim to work towards recognised accessibility good practice, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Public sector websites in the UK are expected to meet WCAG 2.2 AA, and while those specific rules do not automatically apply to every private studio website, WCAG remains a useful benchmark for accessible digital design.

‍

We are continually improving our website and content. Some older content, third-party embeds, portfolio imagery or externally supplied assets may not always meet the same standard.

‍

If you experience an accessibility issue on our website, please contact: legal@brandingbros.uk Please include the page you were using, the issue you experienced and any assistive technology or browser information that may help us investigate.

AI Usage Statement

‍

Branding Brothers® may use artificial intelligence tools as part of our creative and operational process.

We use these tools as creative support, not as a replacement for human judgement, craft or responsibility.

AI may support areas such as research, idea generation, image exploration, copy development, production planning, prototyping, workflow support, internal organisation and visual support.

‍

Our approach to AI is guided by a few simple principles:

• human-led creative direction
• responsible handling of client information
• care around intellectual property and usage rights
• review of AI-assisted outputs before client use
• transparency where AI use materially affects a project
• no deliberate use of confidential client material in public AI tools without permission
• no reliance on AI outputs as final factual, legal or technical advice without review

Where a project has specific restrictions around AI, confidentiality, data handling, brand safety or asset generation, we ask clients to tell us at the start of the project.

We will respect agreed restrictions and can adapt our workflow where needed.

‍

AI is a tool. Taste, strategy, judgement and accountability will always remain human.

Confidentiality & Sensitive Information Statement

Branding Brothers® regularly works with confidential, commercially sensitive and unreleased material.

This may include brand strategy, campaign concepts, event plans, visual identities, commercial documents, launch materials, pitch decks, supplier quotes, production schedules, unreleased artwork, personal data, internal communications, financial details and sensitive client context.

‍

We treat confidential information seriously.

‍

We aim to:

• use client information only for the purpose of the agreed work
• limit access to those who need it
• avoid unnecessary sharing of confidential material
• use appropriate storage, communication and file-sharing tools
• respect embargoes, launch dates and unreleased campaigns
• follow agreed NDA or confidentiality obligations
• avoid publishing client work without appropriate permission
• handle sensitive brand or personal information with care

‍

Clients are responsible for telling us where material requires special handling, restricted access, specific retention rules or additional security requirements.

Where we work with freelancers, suppliers or production partners, confidential information may be shared only where needed to deliver the project. We expect those partners to handle information responsibly and professionally.

‍

If a client requires a separate NDA, supplier security questionnaire or project-specific confidentiality terms, we are happy to review and agree appropriate requirements before work begins.

Supplier & Freelancer Conduct

‍

We work with trusted suppliers, freelancers and collaborators to deliver creative, digital, production and event-related work.

‍

We expect collaborators to:

• communicate honestly and professionally
• deliver work safely and competently
• respect deadlines and agreed scopes
• protect confidential information
• avoid conflicts of interest
• treat others with respect
• comply with relevant laws and regulations
• raise issues early rather than hiding them
• represent Branding Brothers® and our clients appropriately when acting on our behalf

‍

We do not expect perfection. We do expect professionalism.

‍

Where a supplier, freelancer or partner falls below the standards we expect, we may review the relationship, request corrective action or choose not to continue working together.

Diversity, Inclusion & Respect Statement

‍

Branding Brothers® works across culture, entertainment, events, branding, digital and commercial creative. The audiences we design for are varied, and the people we work with should be treated with respect.

‍

We are committed to working in a way that is inclusive, respectful and free from discrimination, harassment and bullying.

‍

We expect respectful behaviour from our team, clients, freelancers, suppliers and partners. This includes respect for people regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, background, nationality, class, appearance or any other protected or personal characteristic.

‍

We also recognise that inclusive design is better design. We consider accessibility, representation, language, cultural context and audience needs as part of the creative process.

‍

Creative work can be bold without being careless. That is the line we draw.
