"Our Approach

We do not tolerate modern slavery and human trafficking in any form, and as such we are committed to ensuring that there are no such practices or activities that occur in our supply chains or any part of our business.

In our business dealings and relationships with clients and suppliers, we seek to act with honesty and integrity and have implemented a number of internal policies which set out clearly how we expect employees to act. These include policies such as: our Code of Ethics, Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Bribery and Inducements and Whistle Blowing.

Moreover as a regulated firm Lindsell Train is bound by both FCA and SEC rules and their codes of conduct which also cover the areas of corruption, bribery and money laundering.

All new employees are subject to pre-employment screening, reference checks and right to work checks. They are also provided with our staff handbook which forms part of the terms of employment contract. We are committed to raising awareness amongst our members of staff of our obligation to combat modern slavery and human trafficking and the risks it poses. Our members of staff are reminded of their duty to report suspected instances of modern slavery and/or human trafficking to senior management. If any indications of slavery and/or human trafficking were evident in our business or supply chain, we would respond proportionately to the nature and extent of the issue discovered.

When appointing a new supplier or service provider in relation to the investment business conducted by Lindsell Train, depending on the nature and significance of that business relationship and the perceived risk profile, we may seek legal/contractual assurances confirming that supplier’s/service provider’s approach to countering slavery and human trafficking."
