The statement identifies that the catering, security, cleaning and electronic manufacturing industries are at high risk of modern slavery.

"Services such as catering security and cleaning are often subcontracted and can be filled by a high proportion of migrant workers, making them potentially higher risk in relation to slavery and human trafficking."

"Sky manufactures a number of branded products, managed by close working relationships with suppliers around the world, particularly in China. Sky recognises that electronic manufacturing carries risks of poor recruitment and labour practices, especially in the developing world."

"Sky’s property services include construction activities and outsourced services such as catering, security and cleaning. We recognise that roles in such industries tend to have a higher risk of poor labour conditions and visibility can be limited if the workforce is not employed by Sky directly."
