Modern slavery is an international crime, affecting millions of people around the world – a growing global
issue that transcends age, gender and ethnicities. Sadly, vulnerable people from overseas as well as
across the UK, are forced to work illegally against their will across many different sectors from agriculture,
construction, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, and more
Golden Globe Merchants Ltd is a limited liability company, incorporated in England. It is the coordinating entity for a network of independently owned and managed accounting and consulting firms based around the world. Each member firm is a separate legal entity and membership in the global network does not make Golden Globe Merchants Ltd or any of its member firms responsible for the services or activities of other member firms.
Our business largely uses professionally qualified people employed directly by Golden Globe Merchants Ltd or seconded from a member firm in a limited number of countries. Our people policies ensure fair treatment of our
people around the world.
Our external suppliers are mostly UK based companies in low risk sectors (such as professional
services) as well as suppliers in the events and travel sectors, which are potentially higher risk.
Golden Globe Merchants Ltd has established a zero-tolerance position on violations to the UK’s anti-human trafficking and anti-modern slavery laws. If we find breaches of these laws within our supply chain, we will look to support companies in their efforts to comply with the legislation.
Our values of collaboration, accountability, agility, respect, cooperation and responsibility, are the pillars of
our culture. They embody everything that we do at Golden Globe Merchants Ltd and how we do business. They outline the expectation of our people’s behaviour with colleagues, member firms, vendors and people around the
world.
We seek to treat everyone fairly and consistently, creating a workplace and business environment that is
open, transparent and trusted. Our policies and procedures relating to the Modern Slavery Act are in line
with our culture and values.
Our specific procedures to address modern slavery risk include:
We log complaints received via our ethics hotline system or through other sources, together with the
actions taken. To the date of this statement, Golden Globe Merchants Ltd has had no identified instances of modern slavery.
Golden Globe Merchants Ltd provides periodic training to our people on the subject of modern slavery and our policies to address the risks to help increase education and awareness.
