Modern Slavery Statement
Everyman Media Group PLC is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in its corporate activities and holds its suppliers and contractors to the same zero tolerance standard that it maintains internally.
Company Structure and Supply Chain

Due Diligence
Steps being taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking does not take place within the business itself or its supply chains include:
- Development of a Modern Slavery Policy that provides guidance to employees on how to recognise signs of slavery, trafficking and forced labour and how to respond to / escalate concerns;
- A review of the Modern Slavery Statements and commitments by each of our existing suppliers; and
- Development of a Procurement Policy to ensure that our decisions regarding suppliers, contractors or business partners commit to ethical conduct and ensuring compliance with all relevant modern slavery legislation.
