Modern Slavery Statement

The 22Drivers Group is committed to conducting business ethically and upholding basic human rights in all its operations. We are both complying with the UK’s Modern Slavery Act and taking steps as a company to support their effort in eliminating human trafficking. The 22Drivers Group and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to, 22DriversRecords, The 22Drivers Foundation, Syntheticate, Sonicscape and Keylez Distribution, are implementing the following measures to support our zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and human trafficking anywhere in our operations and supply chain, including our third-party vendors.

Internal Accountability

As set out in The 22Drivers Group Code of Conduct, as well as our Whistleblower and Anti-Corruption policies, we seek to promote honest and ethical conduct both within our operations and our supply chain and support compliance with applicable laws and regulations wherever in the world our business is conducted. All employees and officers of The 22Drivers Group must certify having received the Code, acknowledge that they understand its contents, and agree to comply with its terms in both spirit and law. To detail The 22Drivers Group’s ongoing commitment and growth in becoming an even more ethical, equitable and environmentally sustainable company, we have also released our first annual social governance report.

Supply Chain Review

We source our goods from a diverse supply base and we have a zero-tolerance policy for any suppliers who do not comply with all laws, including laws pertaining to trafficked, bonded, child, prison, indentured or forced labor. Wherever possible, we work to build long standing relationships with suppliers and insist on visibility into their business standards.

Employee Training

The 22Drivers Group Compliance and Ethics Education Program is offered to reinforce our shared goals and values, and to provide employees guidance on a broad range of ethics and compliance issues.  All employees receive training on our Code of Conduct which includes a segment dedicated to educating employees on protecting human rights.  Additional training is provided to our employees that are responsible for engaging with suppliers, to ensure they can identify any issues within the business and report concerns to senior management or through appropriate whistle blowing mechanisms.

This Statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our human trafficking statement for the previous financial year (FY21).  The board of directors of The 22Drivers Group delegated approval of this statement on its behalf to the Chief Compliance Officer of The 22Drivers Group.
