Our supply chains include indirect services relating to facilities, human resources, and technology. As well as having the requisite contractual controls in place, there are rigorous on-boarding\/background screens carried out on all individuals working at Global Shares locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training and Awareness:<\/strong>
We have a dedicated compliance team, which consists of involvement where applicable from legal, internal audit, compliance, human resources, procurement and sales. We maintain awareness on MSHT through supplier engagement, raising awareness of issues and requirements, and by delivering training to our key staff, who manage the relationships with our suppliers on a risk-based approach.
As we operate in a highly regulated space Global Shares conducts regular business-wide Financial Crime Risk Assessments, which review our level of risk and control in all areas of financial crime, including Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking (MSHT), and continue to enhance the control framework on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing Plans<\/strong>
In addition to the steps set out above, we intend to continue to work on reducing the risk of there being modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations or supply chain by taking the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 We will continue to provide training to internal groups; and
\u2022 We will conduct further due diligence on all suppliers with regards to human rights.
\u2022 We will incorporate ethical practices into our Business-to-Business transactions as part of our due diligence process<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
