SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT
This statement can be found on the company’s main website SpotlightSportsGroup.com and is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Spotlight Sports Group has taken, and is continuing to take, to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within its business or supply chain.

Modern slavery is an international crime, affecting an estimated 29.8 million slaves around the world.  It is a growing global issue that transcends age, gender and ethnicities.  It includes victims who have been brought from overseas and vulnerable people in the UK who are forced to work illegally against their will across many different sectors such as agriculture, hospitality, construction, retail and manufacturing.

A number of procedures are in place that contribute to ensuring modern slavery does not occur in our business or supply chains:

Employment:

Robust recruitment processes in line with UK employment laws, including: ‘right to work’ document checks; contracts of employment and checks to ensure everyone employed is 16 and above.

Audits of casual workers and freelance contributors to establish that remuneration and benefits comply with UK legislation.

An enhanced benefits package, providing additional health and welfare options.

In order to help our staff understand this issue and how to report any suspicions they may have, whether in a business or personal context, we have highlighted the website to employees, which holds useful information on how to recognise types of slavery, how to spot the signs and provides details of a telephone helpline.

Supply Chain:

The procurement of raw materials, manufacturing and distribution processes for newspapers are subcontracted to a small number of suppliers.
Newspaper raw materials procurement, manufacture and bulk distribution to Reach Plc.

Reach Plc’s Modern Slavery Statement was published during 2017.

We have reviewed the Reach Plc Anti Modern Slavery policies and supplier engagement procedures.

https://reachplc.com/modern-slavery-statement

Manufacturing within the Republic of Ireland and Belgium is carried out under contracts that require the providers of those services to act within the employment laws of those countries.

>Distribution to retail outlets conducted under contract to Reach Plc are:

Menzies Distribution Limited, a division of John Menzies Plc.
johnmenziesplc.com/anti-slavery-and-human-trafficking-statement
Smith News, a division of Connect Group Plc.
connectgroupplc.com/modern-slavery-statement

Citibet and Citipost Limited distribute on behalf of SpotlightSportsGroup to licensed bookmaker premises.

We have reviewed the Ethics Policies of the Citipost Group in respect of employee and worker rights.

Other significant value suppliers, such as the provision of software development services based outside the UK and EU, are contracted under terms that have transparency of employment terms and are visited on a regular basis by our own staff.

Of 92 suppliers who provide services costing more than £40,000 during 2016 all were considered to be in low-risk territories.

Risk:
Based on the sectors and territories within which Spotlight Sports Group operates in terms of both employment and supply chain the risk of engagement with individuals or organisations who may be engaged in modern slavery is considered very low.
