"Assessment and management of slavery and human trafficking risks

Premier Miton is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or business. As part of an on-going programme of assessing the effectiveness of its policies, training and due diligence, a review of any key risks is undertaken under Premier Miton’s procurement arrangements, which are reported to the relevant boards, as appropriate.

Monitoring and effectiveness

During the financial period to 30 September 2020 Premier Miton has continued to take steps within its organisation to ensure that organisational policies and relevant processes are followed by all employees and partners of Premier Miton. Premier Miton is not aware of any of its suppliers which do not comply with the Act and no breaches have been reported by Premier Miton staff or partners during the period. As Premier Miton does not have intricate or complex supply chains, no additional measures with regards to slavery and human trafficking have been deemed necessary at this time.

During the financial period to 30 September 2020, in particular in light of the COVID-19 related impact upon normal working practices within and outside Premier Miton, it has carefully considered the additional risks of exploitation, and has monitored workers’ health and safety and suppliers to be alert and responsive to any new and emerging risks."
