"As in previous years, Ashmore has undertaken a review of its existing suppliers and evaluated the risk of any supplier being unable to meet its obligations under the Act. A Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) has been developed and published on the Ashmore website. This Code applies to all suppliers that have business relations with Ashmore, and outlines the minimum ethical requirements that suppliers must meet in order to do business with the Group. These include freedom of employment, and the prevention of any form of forced, bonded or involuntary labour (including child labour).
Ashmore is a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and supports the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour. Ashmore has a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery in its organisation and supply chain.
Ashmore’s own standard template terms and conditions for suppliers include clauses that forbid the use of slavery and human trafficking."
