At GFM Painting, we are committed to upholding human dignity and ensuring that our business, including any part of our supply chain, is free from modern slavery and human trafficking. Although we are a small-scale provider of reproduction and portrait painting services, we take our ethical responsibilities seriously.

Engaging with trusted local partners

Avoiding outsourced labour from high-risk regions without transparent practices
