Does the investor disclose stewardship or active engagement, either directly or through intermediaries, with investee companies on their (investee companies’) modern slavery/ labour exploitation/ human trafficking risks in value chains and business relationships?

Relevant engagement can include:

• Engagement with current or potential investees
• Files or supports shareholder resolutions / voting at shareholder meetings
• Direct roles on investee boards and board committees
• Engagement policy/ Leverage policy
• Litigation
• On-site visits, social audits, or self-assessment reviews
• Civil society monitoring
• Training

PRI defines stewardshipas: "the use of influence by institutional investors to maximise overall long-term value including the value of common economic, social and environmental assets, on which returns and clients' and beneficiaries' interests depend." 

Please note that this engagement is with investee companies, not suppliers. Supplier engagement is covered under metrics such as the MSA risk management (revised). 

Synonyms for modern slavery include human trafficking, labour exploitation or forced labour.

If the company discloses that it actively engages, either directly or through intermediaries, with investee companies on modern slavery, please indicate “Yes”, and provide details.

If no engagement exists or is described in the statement, please select "No".

* Note on choosing the Year of your answer

Read the MSA Statement carefully to find out what year it covers.

When a statement is referring to a Financial Year (FY) ending in Q1 or early Q2, it should be labeled with the previous year. Example:

• Statement for FY2018/19 ending in April 2019 = 2018
• Statement for FY2018/19 ending in May 2019 (or later) = 2019
