"Due diligence

Ashmore does not support or knowingly deal with any business involved in slavery or human trafficking and will not work with any party it suspects is connected with slavery in any way.

Ashmore conducted a due diligence process in 2021, covering the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Ashmore assesses the likelihood of the existence of Modern Slavery within its supply chain on the basis of perceived risk. In implementing this approach, the criteria taken into account include factors such as the origin of manufacture and the nature of services provided. Ashmore also assesses the location from which the services are provided which enables Ashmore to categorise suppliers and identify potential areas to assess for Modern Slavery."
