Modern Slavery Position Statement

We are committed to delivering practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. We all have a responsibility to be alert to the risks, however small, in our business and in the wider supply chain. We have committed resources to implement and enforce effective system procedures and controls to detect and prevent instances of slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains and our business. We further expect our employees to report concerns in order that management can take appropriate steps to act upon them. We recognise that effective modern slavery prevention requires proactive risk identification, meaningful engagement with relevant stakeholders, transparent reporting, continuous improvement and a victim-centred approach where concerns are identified.

Our supply chains

Our supply chains include: Sourcing of labour, materials, and project management.

We recognise that particular modern slavery risks may arise in areas of our supply chains involving temporary or agency labour, subcontracted labour, logistics and transport within our event build and breakdown services. We assess these risks on a proportionate and risk-based basis, taking account of the nature of the services provided, location of activity, labour intensity, supplier profile and any indicators of vulnerability or lack of transparency.

Risk assessment and management

We take a risk-based approach to identifying and managing modern slavery and human trafficking risks across our operations and supply chains. This includes considering the countries and sectors in which suppliers operate, the nature of labour used, the extent of subcontracting, the level of supplier transparency, and whether workers may be more vulnerable due to recruitment practices, migration status, language barriers, working arrangements or dependency on a third party.

Where increased risk is identified, we may undertake enhanced due diligence, request further information from suppliers, review contractual commitments, seek confirmation of labour standards, escalate concerns internally, require corrective action plans, or consider whether the supplier relationship remains appropriate. Our approach is intended to support early identification of risk and proportionate action to prevent, mitigate and remedy harm.

Our policies on slavery and human trafficking

 We are committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Modern Slavery Policy 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. We are committed to raising awareness of our Modern Slavery Policy to ensure understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business.

Our TRUE Compliance Programme sets out our intentions and expectations regarding integrity and behaviours. We hold ourselves to a high standard of transparency in this regard. Those same standards apply to our vendors, contractors, suppliers and other business partners.

Our relevant policies and procedures are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain appropriate and effective. These include, where applicable, our True Compliance Ethics Manual, supplier onboarding and procurement controls, whistleblowing and reporting channels, employment practices, health and safety requirements, and contractual expectations for suppliers and business partners. We expect suppliers to cascade equivalent standards through their own supply chains and to notify us promptly of any actual or suspected modern slavery concern.

Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking

Our due diligence approach is risk-based and proportionate. It includes supplier onboarding checks, assessment of higher-risk categories and locations, monitoring of supplier responses, escalation of concerns to appropriate management, and consideration of remediation steps where issues are identified.

As part of our ongoing initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we are continually raising awareness through training and applying checks within our supply chain process to diligently:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas across our global business;
• Respond to identified concerns through proportionate investigation, escalation and remediation, recognising the importance of avoiding actions that could inadvertently increase harm to affected workers;
• Educate our employees through our training programme;
• Engage, where appropriate, with internal stakeholders, suppliers, contractors and other business partners to support awareness of modern slavery risks and expected standards of conduct;
• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains; and
• Ensure whistle blowers are protected in accordance with the confidential TRUE Compliance Programme

Supplier adherence to our values

 We seek to operate zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking to ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors understand the importance of this issue to us and that they comply with our values and code of conduct.
We continue to strengthen supplier adherence by embedding modern slavery expectations into onboarding procedures and including contractual terms and conditions with every purchase process.
