"M&G remain committed to upskilling our staff around modern slavery and throughout 2021 we have been working toward producing an annual training module. Employees across our Commercial, Procurement, Workplace Solutions and Supplier Managers were our initial target for this. Our Board and Senior Executives have also undertaken this early to be able to demonstrate to colleagues and wider stakeholders our commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking.

There are plans to make this mandatory across the wider business in 2022. " (pg. 3)

"As a responsible business and as part of our corporate responsibilities, M&G made a commitment in our 2020 Annual Report and Accounts to adopt a modern slavery policy/standard which defines our GGFposition and appetite using UK legislation (Modern Slavery Act 2015) as our starting point and minimum standard. To support this, our experienced employees within this area conducted some analysis to identify where M&G’s appetite and tolerance was in line with our industry peers to better enrich our maturity and approach to modern slavery within our business" pg 2
