Individual mobility is a fundamental tenet of society today, be it via cars, motorcycles or any other mode of transport. Our goal is to ensure our customers' mobility and in process allow their vehicles to be usable for a longer time. This conserves resources and, most importantly, is convenient and cost-effective. With almost 2 million parts available via our website, we are one of the largest auto parts retailers in the UK. From a company that started off as a car parts company, we are now far more than that - we are one of Europe's most exciting Internet company touching thousands of lives everyday, be it someone who needs his truck back at road so he can continue working, or a car owner who needs a replacement car battery so he can visit his family. We intend to continue building on our rich history and heritage to serve many generations for the future. 

 

Whilst our goal is to be the leading value-added global distributor of vehicle parts and accessories offering our customers the most comprehensive and cost-effective parts solutions, there are still certain fundamental principles, standards and policies that we adhere too. In particular, we pay a lot attention to working with our partners to mitigate modern slavery, improving gender pay equality, providing access to as many people as possible regardless of race, religion, gender, sex orientation and nationality. Feel free to read on more about our stance on these issues in the other tabs.  

 

Duco Car Parts is committed to improving our practices and driving out acts of modern day slavery and human trafficking from within our business and from within our supply chains. The Company acknowledges responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within our organisation and with our suppliers of goods and services.

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Code of Business Conduct reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

Duco Car Parts will not work with any suppliers who have demonstrably and repeatedly failed to comply with basic International Labour Organization (ILO) standards. Combining the pursuit of economic objectives with consideration for social and environmental factors is a priority at Duco Car Parts. We accept that our actions must accord with the interests of society. Above all else, we place our products and services in the interests of the safety of people, the economic use of resources, and environmental sustainability.

We are committed to this initiative’s ten global principles in the areas of human rights, working standards, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption. Neither the Duco Car Parts will work with any suppliers who have demonstrably and repeatedly failed to comply with basic ILO labour standards.

 

Duco Car Parts trades and operates in the UK and Ireland. As a responsible employer and in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Reporting) Regulations 2017 we strongly advocate for gender equality across all segments of our businesses.
