THE EDINBURGH INVESTMENT TRUST PLC / STRATEGIC REPORT / 25
The Company is an investment vehicle and does not provide goods
or services in the normal course of its business, or have customers.
Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Company is not required
to make any slavery or human trafficking statement under the
Modern Slavery Act 2015.
ANTI-BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
It is the Company’s policy to conduct all of its business in an honest
and ethical manner. The Company takes a zero-tolerance approach
to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally,
fairly and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships
wherever it operates. The Company’s policy and the procedures that
implement it are designed to support that commitment.
PREVENTION OF THE FACILITATION OF TAX EVASION
The Board has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to the criminal
facilitation of tax evasion.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND STREAMLINED
ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING (’SECR’)
The Company has no employees, physical assets, property or
operations of its own, does not provide goods or services and does
not have its own customers. It follows that the Company has little or
no direct environmental impact. In consequence, the Company has
limited greenhouse gas emissions to report from its operations aside
from travel to board meetings, nor does it have responsibility for any
other sources of emissions under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic
Report and Directors’ Reports) Regulations 2013.
As the Company has no material operations and therefore has low
energy usage, it has not included an energy and carbon report.
This Strategic Report was approved by the Board on 25 May 2022
