Modern Slavery Act Statement

GreenKite Statement

This statement is made on behalf of GreenKite Associates under Section 54, part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps that GreenKite has taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our supply chains or any part of our business.

Our approach

As a firm, we always work to the highest professional standards and comply with all laws and regulations applicable to our business. We expect the same high standards from those parties we engage with and are committed to ensuring no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain.

We work to embed a robust risk management framework throughout our operations to ensure we effectively analyse and manage the risks to our business. This includes analysing the risk of inadvertently working with suppliers who do not share our commitment to anti-slavery and human trafficking.

Supplier Due Diligence

As suppliers are partners in our business success, they are expected to comply with all local laws and regulations. We routinely request information concerning, amongst other things, health & safety, environmental, equality, anti-corruption and insurance protection to enable us to verify their commitment to our corporate values and company policies. Details of our supplier due diligence can be found in our Outsourcing Procedure.

Whistleblowing

We encourage workers and external parties to report their concerns about malpractice as soon as possible. Any reportable concerns can be made directly to Green Kite’s Whistleblowers’ Champion, Karen Graves.

Training

We ensure that all associates and partners who have responsibility for procurement within our firm receive appropriate training to identify issues related to slavery and human trafficking and review standard terms with suppliers as a means of ensuring disclosure and compliance.
