Human Rights
Liontrust’s policies are consistent with internationally recognised human rights principles
such as the UN Global Compact. We comply with applicable human rights legislation in
the countries where we operate.
Due to the small number and diverse functions of our employees,
as well as the nature of our business, our employees are not, in
practice, unionised and do not engage in collective bargaining. In
2019, Liontrust established a Workforce Advisory Committee with
representatives from across the business including two members of the
Management Committee.
Modern Slavery Act (MSA)
We publish our statement on MSA on our website and this is
reviewed annually.
Liontrust has committed to the preservation of human rights and is
vehemently opposed to the use of slavery in all forms; cruel, inhuman
or degrading punishments; and any attempt to control or reduce
freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
Liontrust will not knowingly enter into any business arrangement with
any person, company or organisation which fails to uphold the human
rights of its workers or which breaches the human rights of those
affected by the organisation’s activities.
40 - Liontrust Sustainability Report 2021
We do not procure services from nor invest in businesses which make
use of slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, compulsory labour or
harmful child labour.
For all Liontrust staff, we have put appropriate policies in place such
as the Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights Policy,
the Anti-Bribery Policy, the Equal Opportunities and Dignity at Work
Policy, and the Diversity and Inclusion Policy. All Group employees
and members of subsidiary entities have the necessary documentation
to legally work in the UK and no one under the legal minimum age for
admission to work is employed.
All employees and members of subsidiary entities are required to
complete training on the MSA and to support the Group’s opposition
of all forms of slavery.
