The Scott Trust Ltd, the owner of the Guardian, works to minimise the risk of modern slavery and human rights violations across the entire operation and its supply chains. Our organisation has a history of engaging with human rights issues more broadly, which frames this activity.
We have set out details of the steps that we have taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in supply chains or in any part of the business in our Modern slavery statement. This is in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
The Guardian Sourcing Values provide the framework against which an ethical assessment of our suppliers will be measured. They were developed in recognition of the fact that we rely on suppliers and partners, and we do not always have direct control over our impact on the environment and people.
