  • Modern Slavery Act Transparency Statement
    Stagecoach Group plc – Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement Stagecoach Group supports the objectives of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (“the Act”) of eliminating slavery and human trafficking and makes this statement pursuant to section 54(1) of the Act for the financial year ended 2 May 2020. Stagecoach Group plc is the ultimate parent company of a group of companies providing transport services. That group of companies is hereafter referred to as “the Group”. Risks relating to slavery and human trafficking are considered across the Group. The Act requires commercial organisations to publish a statement as to the actions they have taken to detect and deal with acts of modern slavery in their businesses and supply chains. This obligation applies to organisations that carry on business in the UK and which have a total annual turnover in excess of £36 million. This statement is therefore made by Stagecoach Group plc and each of its subsidiaries that are required to make such a statement in accordance with the Act. The statement is also made on behalf of certain other subsidiaries of the Group that, while not subject to the requirements of the Act, recognise the importance of a Group-wide approach to improving transparency and preventing slavery and human trafficking occurring within its supply chain. The companies making this statement are listed below. We recognise that the Group has a responsibility to manage the risk that slavery and/or human trafficking may be taking place in any of its businesses or within its supply chains throughout the world. The United Kingdom, in which the Group operates, has a developed culture of ethical business practice and strong labour regulation.
