MSA Organizational structure and operations
About the data
The UK and Australian Modern Slavery Acts requires that organisations disclose their structure, business, and operations. This is to allow those assessing the statements to understand the boundaries of the statement and to support the identification of risk based on business models, location of operations, goods and services sourced, and workforce.
Methodology
Does the company disclose the structure, operations and/or business model(s) of its brands, subsidiaries, and other businesses covered by their modern slavery statement?
Such disclosures can include:
- the legal and organisational form of the company, including legal classification, number of employees, geographic location, whether it is part of a larger group of companies, and whether it owns or controls other entities (structure).
- the activities undertaken by the company to pursue its business objectives or strategy, for example, processing and production, direct employment of workers, construction, provision and delivery of products and services, financial services etc (operations)
Please select "Yes", providing quotations and page numbers in the comment section, if the company:
- Discloses the legal and organisational form of the company, including at least one subsidiaries, controlled entities, parent companies, joint ventures. Please note that licensees do not count as subsidiaries.
OR
- Explicitly states that it does not control or own any other companies.
AND/OR
- Discloses any information on its business model and operations, including the types of activities it undertakes.
Please select "No", if the company:
- Discloses no such information in the statement.
Please note that any information on supply chains does not meet the requirements of this metric and is covered under MSA Supply Chain Disclosure.
* 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
