[SID_583] To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking we have provided training since 2017 to our new starters and existing staff in our neighbourhood teams
[SID_583] This training raises awareness of how to recognise potential victims of modern slavery and guidance on what to do if slavery is suspected in interactions with customers, suppliers or others
[SID_583] Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking training can be accessed by everyone in the organisation at any time to refresh their knowledge as and when required and all neighbourhood team colleagues are required to undertake refresher training every three years
[SID_583] We provide safeguarding training to all front-line roles across the organisation which is refreshed every three years
[SID_583] We also offer a range of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training which is available to all colleagues
[SID_583] In early 2024, every contract manager within the organisation received contract management training with a focus on Modern Slavery to enable colleagues to identify Modern Slavery risks within the procurement and contract management processes
[SID_583] In 2024 we reviewed and refreshed all the above training and will be releasing new content that will be available for all colleagues
[SID_583] Completion of mandatory training is monitored, and processes are in place to identify and address instances in which colleagues have failed to complete
[SID_583] In 2023, we added safeguarding as a new section within the Supplier 08 Training & communication
[SID_583] our Supplier Code of Conduct as part of the invoice payment
[SID_583] We are also requesting that suppliers carry out due diligence checks
[SID_583] Aspire is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults
[SID_583] Suppliers have a dual role to play in this; appropriate due diligence on relevant workers and reporting of safeguarding concerns that are identified whilst working on behalf of Aspire
[SID_583] Aspire has a designated safeguarding lead
[SID_583] In March 2023, we established the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Forum (EDIF) which has responsibility for ensuring the development and delivery of Aspires EDI agenda and has completed the following key tasks since its creation
[SID_583] Forum group established with representation from across the
[SID_583] business
[SID_583] Creation of dedicated EDI Intranet Page containing resources
[SID_583] information and guidance for colleagues
[SID_583] Review and update of the EDI Policy
[SID_583] Review and update of the EDI Strategy in line with the updated EDI
[SID_583] policy and actions reviewed to reflect corporate structure and
[SID_583] business priorities
[SID_583] Several externally facilitated EDI training sessions delivered to EDIF
[SID_583] members, Executive Team and Board and, Leadership Team
[SID_583] (Heads of Service and Directors)
[SID_583] Colleague training developed including toolbox talks for our
[SID_583] mainenance operatives, refreshed e-learning, EDI training built into
[SID_583] complaints handler training, EDI Forum members delivering training
[SID_583] to every team meeting
[SID_583] A key action for the EDI forum will be to oversee the completion
[SID_583] of Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs); an evidence-based
[SID_583] approach designed to help organisations ensure that their policies
[SID_583] practices, events and decision-making processes are fair and do not
[SID_583] present barriers to participation or disadvantage any protected
[SID_583] groups from participation
[SID_583] This covers both strategic and
[SID_583] operational activities
[SID_583] A new EDI mandatory training package is currently being designed and will be made mandatory for all new starters
[SID_583] All Executive and Board and Committee members have received EDI and Unconscious Bias training in May 2023
[SID_583] All Directors and Heads of Service have received the training in July 2023
[SID_583] This training will be delivered again in August 2024 for all new Heads of Service, Directors, stage 2 complaints handlers and Board members
[SID_583] Our primary risk is in association with a delivery partner or associated business, regardless of size, with an ambiguous or non-compliant supply chain
[SID_583] Risk of modern slavery arises from us
[SID_583] procuring goods or services for our own consumption as a business
[SID_583] where there is an unethical supply chain
[SID_583] or
[SID_583] engaging with or partnering with an organisation that has an unethical
[SID_583] supply chain
[SID_583] Using our newly procured contracts management software, In-tend, we have categorised every contracted supplier to enable us to identify higher risk suppliers based on contract value and service area within which they operate
[SID_583] We have carried out checks on a sample of our suppliers with a turnover in excess of 36 million per year and reviewed their websites for their published statement
[SID_583] All suppliers were found to be compliant with the Modern Slavery Act requirements
[SID_583] Of the companies who do not produce an annual MSA statement, due to their turnover being below 36 million, Aspire Housing is considering requesting these contractors to produce a statement detailing that it has considered its obligations regarding the suitability of its workforce and its supply chains
[SID_583] Due diligence, risk assessment and mitigation
[SID_583] Failure to comply with legal or regulatory requirements is a risk listed within Aspires Risk Register, which incorporates Modern Slavery
[SID_583] Safeguarding is listed within Aspires Health and Safety Risk Register
[SID_429] During 2023, the Code of Conduct was revised and expanded to provide further clarity for our suppliers and to specifically address evolving risks such as forced labour, emergency preparedness and environmental stewardship
[SID_583] Aspire reserves the right to terminate contracts if the supplier does not comply
[SID_583] Due diligence, risk assessment and mitigation (cont)
[SID_583] During this reporting period Aspire Housing have not identified nor have we been made aware of any instances of Modern Slavery taking place within the scope of our business activities or supply chain
[SID_583] We have reviewed our whistleblowing policy and communicated it widely so that employees are aware of what they can do if they suspect modern slavery is taking place
[SID_583] In 2024, we have communicated with all colleagues via an all-colleague email to raise awareness of the Modern Slavery Act, direct colleagues to Modern Slavery training and provide information on Modern Slavery resources
[SID_583] We have also updated the Modern Slavery page on our intranet to provide a wealth of information and resources in this area for our colleagues
[SID_583] Effectiveness in ensuring that Slavery and Human Trafficking is not taking place in business or supply chains
[SID_583] We will
[SID_583] Continue to be vigilant when assessing areas of potential risk within
[SID_583] our business and supply chain
[SID_583] Perform checks on high-risk contracts to ensure they are compliant
[SID_583] once identified
[SID_583] Act promptly where a compliance breach has been identified or
[SID_583] flagged
[SID_583] Increase awareness with third parties we engage with by promoting
[SID_583] and signposting industry led on-line guidance and compliance tool
[SID_583] kits, as supplied by CIOB, RICS and others
[SID_583] Effectiveness in ensuring that Slavery and Human Trafficking is not taking place in business or supply chains (cont)
[SID_583] This statement, once published, will be shared with all colleagues
[SID_583] along with details of resources including the Modern Slavery
[SID_583] Helpline (https://www.modernslaveryhelpline.org/ or 0800 0121
[SID_583] and the Stronger Together initiative
[SID_583] (www.stronger2gether.org)
[SID_429] Training sessions were also conducted with over 250 suppliers throughout the year to ensure they understand the standards required by Dysons Ethical and Environmental Code of Conduct
[SID_583] contracted suppliers and will be used as part of the procurement
[SID_583] process for all future contracts
[SID_583] We will also require suppliers that
[SID_583] do not operate under a conract to comply with the requirements of
[SID_430] MHI GROUP GLOBAL CODE OF CONDUCT Due to MHI being the ultimate parent company of Primetals Technologies, all Primetals Technologies employees must adhere to the MHI Group Global Code of Conduct (MHI Code) to uphold MHIs reputation as a company of high integrity and ethics
[SID_583] process
[SID_583] Regular contract management meetings will be held with all
[SID_583] contracted suppliers, supported by the Procurement team for all
[SID_583] strategic contracts, which will provide an opportunity to discuss
[SID_583] any support requirements around Modern Slavery, Safeguarding etc
[SID_583] A consolidated toolkit will be created for contract management
[SID_583] which will include guidance, templates, agendas and required
[SID_583] frequency of meetings for all contract managers dependent
[SID_583] upon the nature and risk of the contract to Aspire
[SID_583] Modern Slavery
[SID_583] requirements will form part of the annual checks carried out by
[SID_583] contract managers
[SID_583] Aspire Housings Modern Slavery statement 2024 will be published
[SID_583] externally as one of our ethical policies on our website
[SID_583] We will also

[SID_583] Aspire Housing will raise awareness of the content of our published
[SID_583] statement by notifying organisations in our Frameworks, Delivery
[SID_583] Partnerships and other companies with which we regularly engage
[SID_583] Priority steps for the next coming year
[SID_583] Aspire will carry out further risk assessment of the supplier
[SID_583] categorisation on the In-tend contracts management system to
[SID_583] determine the top 10 suppliers most at risk of modern slavery and
[SID_583] undertake an audit on them
[SID_583] As part of the audit, the suppliers identified as most at risk will
[SID_583] be asked to provide evidence of their Modern Slavery Statement
[SID_583] and if they do not have one, they will be supported to create a
[SID_583] modern slavery statement and provided with link to Aspires Modern
[SID_583] Slavery Statement as a template
[SID_583] Aspire will also discuss any
[SID_583] training that the supplier delivers to its staff in this area
[SID_583] A review of our processes for procurement, contract
[SID_583] management, ordering and payments is underway
[SID_583] We will continue
[SID_583] to review all other related documentation to include a greater
[SID_583] focus on the requirements of the Modern Slavery Statement and our
[SID_583] commitments in this area
[SID_583] We will create a support package for all new suppliers which will be
[SID_583] shared and publicised via our website to include useful information
[SID_583] for new suppliers as well as requirements relating to health and
[SID_583] safety, data protection, information security, safeguarding, equality
[SID_583] diversity and inclusion, insurance requirements and modern slavery
[SID_583] We will look to expand our current Modern Slavery training
[SID_583] programme to all front-line colleagues and any other specific roles
[SID_583] identified as requiring this training, such as contract managers

[SID_584] North East Truck & Van Limiteds Modern Slavery Statement in Relation to the Modern Slavery Act 2015

[SID_589] Philip Allard WILDSTONE CAPITAL LIMITED | 23 NOVEMBER 2023 Modern Slavery Annual Statement 2023
[SID_589] Introduction This Statement is prepared on behalf of Whistler UK Bidco Limited and subsidiary group companies (Wildstone Group)
[SID_589] At Wildstone, we are committed to upholding ethical and responsible business practices
[SID_589] As part of Wildstones commitment to human rights and social responsibility, a Modern Slavery Policy has been adopted to eradicate any form of modern slavery or human trafficking from our operations and supply chains
[SID_589] We believe in promoting transparency, fairness, and dignity for all individuals involved in our business, including employees, suppliers, contractors and partners
[SID_589] We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners
[SID_589] As part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children, and we expect that our contractors, suppliers and other business partners will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards
[SID_589] Please send any written requests for information on this Statement to office@wildstone.co.uk and your request shall be responded to within the timeframes set out in the applicable law
[SID_589] Regulatory Framework The United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act came into effect in October 2015
[SID_589] This Act requires commercial organisations doing business in the UK that supply goods or services and have an annual turnover exceeding 36 million to publish an annual statement addressing the measures taken to mitigate the risk of modern slavery
[SID_589] Oversight and Modern Slavery Policy Environmental, Social and Governance matters, including human rights policies and procedures, are overseen by Wildstones Board
[SID_589] Risk, including in relation to ESG matters, is overseen by the Senior Management Team
[SID_589] Wildstone adopted its Modern Slavery Policy on the 10th November 2023
[SID_589] This is attached at Appendix 1
[SID_589] Organisation Structure and Supply Chain Wildstone Group is an outdoor media infrastructure business that acquires and rents property assets for outdoor advertising in the UK, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain
[SID_589] Wildstone procures goods and services from a limited supply chain in each of the countries it operates in, which can be summarised as follows
[SID_589] Professional services (ie lawyers, accountants, planning consultants etc)
[SID_589] Contractors to install and maintain traditional and digital outdoor media infrastructure, power and associated works (eg hard and soft landscaping); and
[SID_589] Suppliers of outdoor media infrastructure (ie digital screens and ancillary infrastructure and traditional outdoor infrastructure such as paper and paste panels) Wildstone seeks to ensure that legal agreements with third parties require them to comply with applicable human rights, modern slavery and labour laws and we do not knowingly contract with suppliers engaged in any practice of child labour or human trafficking
[SID_589] Risk Assessment and Management Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains
[SID_589] Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and EU based corporate suppliers
