to grow our business, while physical capital includes our160 offices and site-based facilities. We require goods andservices for our global offices and to support our deliveryof projects to clients, including travel management,

Our Policies
For many years, ERM has been committed to the highest
forms of business conduct and ethics in our operations
and supply chain. That commitment forms a cornerstone
for many of our policies, procedures and our approach tobusiness.
We recognize our responsibility to support and respect theprotection of internationally proclaimed human rights, inline with the UN Guiding Principles on Business andHuman Rights and the principles of the UN Global
Compact, to which ERM is a signatory. Our policy
framework and disclosures associated with the Ten
Principles of the UN Global Compact are mapped in ourSustainability Report.
Our business processes are further informed by relevantInternational Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions anddefinitions contained within the UN Universal Declarationof Human Rights. Our company’s Vision and Values
express our corporate philosophy of how we conductbusiness, while our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

provides the basis for professional, respectful and fairdealings in our daily operations. ERM’s Sustainability
Policy and Sustainability Approach articulate ourcommitments to sustainability.
Our Slavery, Child Labour and Human Trafficking
Policy prohibits the use of child or forced labour in ourbusiness and any involvement by ERM with entities that
support prohibited labour practices or human trafficking,including slavery, bonded labour or debt-bondage, orsecuring labour or services by force, threat, or deception.
ERM’s Global Supplier/Subcontractor Requirements
mandate that our subcontractors and suppliers adhere to
ERM’s policies. ERM expects its suppliers andsubcontractors to adhere to the same commitments insupport of business conduct and ethics and sustainability
and against all forms of slavery and human trafficking.
Accordingly, our standard form subcontractor/supplier
agreements oblige suppliers and subcontractors toacknowledge and comply with ERM’s policies in thisregard.

Due Diligence and Effective Risk Assessment andManagement
ERM has processes in place to support on-goingassessment and management of risks associated with ourclient engagements, direct business operations andbusiness relationships. We will not work with clients,
suppliers or sub-contractors who do not share ourcommitment to high ethical standards.
ERM’s Global Contractor Management Program provides
a process for prequalifying contractors, collecting relevant
information for more effective decision-making and risk
reduction, and adding value to services provided to ourclients by reducing their risk around our use ofcontractors. As the program is implemented around theworld, it provides a consistent approach for mandating
contractors to adhere to the requirements of our policies
and to track their compliance. The program does not
currently include suppliers, which are managed by ourbusiness units. We will be reviewing global processes for
supplier management in the future.
Our Code of Business Conduct & Ethics and our website(www.erm.com) provide a process for reporting or raisingconcerns about any wrongdoing to the Group ComplianceOfficer, in confidence and without fear of retaliation.

Next steps
ERM recognizes that we are exposed to the risk of slavery
and human trafficking in our business operations andsupply chains. We believe the greatest risk exists with our
subcontractors and suppliers. We recognize different
geographic locations and sectors present higher risks ofslavery and human trafficking than others. Our global
programs, described above, help us to manage this risk.
In addition, during the financial year ending 31 March
2017, ERM will continue to develop and enhance our riskassessment process to allow us to better understand thesectors and locations where our risk of slavery and humantrafficking is the greatest. Once that assessment has been
completed, ERM will review how we manage those risks,
implement and measure our progress in ensuring noslavery and human trafficking in our operations andsupply chain.
We will also continue to review our policies, processes
and training going forward to make sure they
appropriately address our commitment to eliminate
slavery and human trafficking from our operations andsupply chain. We will ensure we have robust management
processes for identifying and managing human rights
risks across our supply chain and ensuring awarenessamong our employees.
Our approach will continue to be informed by our workwith clients, multi- stakeholder dialogue and engagementwith governments and international organizations. As aleading consultancy we are actively involved in raisingawareness and building capacity related to business andhuman rights and the broader sustainable development
agenda. Highlights of our work are available in ourSustainability Report.
