Modern Slavery Statement

1. Introduction & Commitment

Executive Grapevine International Limited (“EGIL”) is committed to conducting its business ethically, with integrity and transparency. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.

Although our turnover does not currently exceed the mandatory threshold under Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, we voluntarily publish this statement to demonstrate our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to outline the steps we take to identify and mitigate relevant risks.

2. Organisational Structure & Operations

  • Company Details: EGIL is a UK-registered private company (Companies House No.2789779), headquartered at Gate House, Fretherne Road, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6NS, United Kingdom
  • Business Activities: We provide lead generation and digital marketing solutions, connecting clients to the largest and most engaged HR audience in the market.

3. Policies & Governance

  • Anti-Slavery Policy: We have a formal policy prohibiting all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, applicable to all employees, officers and contractors.
  • Board Oversight: Responsibility for implementation sits with the Founders, with progress reviewed by the board on a regular basis.

4. Policies in Relation to Slavery and Human Trafficking

We have the following policies in place to prevent modern slavery:

  • Anti-Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy
  • Code of Conduct
  • Whistleblowing Policy

These apply to all employees, officers, contractors, and key partners.

5. Supply Chain Due Diligence

Supplier Mapping & Risk Assessment

  • We maintain a register of our key first-tier suppliers, prioritised based on risk, spend, and relevance to our operations (for example cleaning, IT services, recruitment agencies, and facilities support).
  • Each supplier undergoes a risk assessment based on sector, geography and spend.

Onboarding & Contracts

  • Prospective suppliers complete a due-diligence questionnaire covering labour standards, wage policies and ethical practices.
  • Contracts include clauses requiring compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and completion of periodic self-assessments.

Ongoing Monitoring

  • We meet key suppliers at least annually to review performance against agreed social-responsibility KPIs.
  • Where suppliers provide personnel working on EGIL premises, we expect compliance with applicable minimum wage legislation and encourage alignment with the UK Living Wage where appropriate.
  • Non-compliance triggers a corrective-action plan; persistent breaches may lead to contract termination.

6. Training & Awareness

Staff Training

  • All new hires complete induction modules on ethical conduct and modern slavery awareness.
  • Annual refresher e-learning is mandatory for all employees.

Supplier Engagement

  • We engage with key suppliers to raise awareness of modern-slavery risks and expectations, using briefings, guidance materials, or meetings as appropriate.

7. Risk Management & Effectiveness

Risk Identification

  • We refresh supplier due diligence every two years or upon significant changes (e.g., new regions or service lines).

Key Performance Indicators

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach using indicators where possible such as:

  • completion of modern-slavery due diligence for key suppliers
  • engagement with suppliers on ethical and labour standards
  • identification and resolution of any issues or corrective actions required

Continuous Improvement

  • During FY 2025–26, we will explore proportionate enhancements to our due diligence approach, including deeper engagement with higher-risk suppliers and improved reporting routes for concerns where appropriate.

8. Our Own Workforce

Internal Code of Business Conduct

  • We apply the same labour-standards expectations to our employees as we do to our suppliers, formalised in our staff handbook.
  • Policies on equal opportunities, anti-harassment, grievance procedures and whistleblowing are readily accessible and periodically reviewed.

9. Approval

This statement has been approved by the board of Executive Grapevine International Limited in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
