The company indicates it has policies for employees and suppliers in place, yet not clear on whether they cover modern slavery as they provide an external link to policies.

"policies such as our standards on human rights, supplier code of conduct, human resources, Code of Conduct, Responsible Business, and Third Party Risk Management. These policies can be found here online at quilter.com"

 

Code of conduct or supplier code includes clauses on slavery and human trafficking (direct / tier 1):

"As well as action with respect to our higher risk suppliers, where appropriate, we ensure our new contracts and any renewals have suitable wording to address the risk of slavery"

 

Not specific enough to claim that companies requires suppliers to produce their own statement (direct / tier 1):

"Our standard template supplier contracts, include express obligations to comply with applicable laws and a clause specifically requiring compliance with the Modern Slavery Act."
