We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We continue to implement appropriate policies to support our commitment to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.

Overview

We support the principles set out in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation core labour standards. Lloyd's is also a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, which means we report and disclose our progress annually across areas of human rights and labour, as well as environment and anti-corruption.

We recognise that modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It can take various forms including slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking. Lloyd's has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to being a responsible business in all our dealings and relationships; this includes improving business practices, systems and controls to combat slavery and human trafficking.

Suppliers

We work collaboratively with our supply chain partners to uphold high standards of conduct around safe working conditions, treating workers with dignity and respect and acting fairly and ethically.

Employees

We respect the dignity and rights of each individual who works for us and with us. This also extends to the employees of suppliers working on our sites, where we have proactively sought to improve their living standards, for example in the UK through the Living Wage Foundation.

Our Employee handbook also covers topics such as anti-bullying and harassment; diversity and inclusion; social media; and drug and alcohol use, which apply to all employees as well as job applicants, consultants, temporary and third-party workers.
