Modern Slavery Statement

APPROVAL
This Statement is made in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and was approved by the Board of Directors of DPServices Ltd. on 1st March 2024.

PURPOSE
Under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, commercial organisations carrying on a business in the UK with an annual turnover exceeding £36 million are required to publish an annual slavery and human trafficking statement setting out the company’s efforts in the financial year to eradicate modern slavery from its business or supply chain. DPServices Ltd. does not qualify.

OUR BUSINESS
DPServices Ltd. is a global platform for specialist media with scalable diversified brands across online, magazines and events. We pride ourselves on the loyalty of our communities. We connect people to their passions through the high-quality content we create, the innovative technology we pioneer and the experiences we deliver.

OUR SUPPLY CHAINS
Our supply chains include freelance content suppliers; print and digital suppliers; logistics suppliers; cover item suppliers; subscription fulfilment and magazine distribution and mailing services; venues for live events; large and small technology suppliers based in the UK and worldwide; IT and other office equipment; professional services from our lawyers, accountants and other advisors; and other office facilities services. DPServices Ltd. actively promotes ethical business practices and policies that protect its staff and is committed to ensuring, as far as possible, that suppliers adhere to the same high standards of ethics that it embraces.

ACTS TO ADDRESS RISK
DPServices Ltd. operates a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking. DPServices Ltd. is not aware of any slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain, and no issues were raised during the year ended 30 September 2023. Therefore, and taking into account the nature of DPServices Ltd. business, we consider the overall risk level among our supply chains continues to be low. DPServices Ltd. remains committed to running its business responsibly and, in order to maintain visibility across its supply chains, DPServices Ltd. utilises a Supplier Code of Conduct to address, among other things, issues of child labour, compulsory labour and human trafficking. Where not already addressed, additional wording to cover DPServices Ltd. anti-slavery policy and ensure adherence to the Code is included in commercial agreements, either when DPServices Ltd. enters into contracts with new suppliers and/or when contracts with existing suppliers are renewed. DPServices Ltd. is committed to only working with suppliers who take their obligations towards modern slavery as seriously as we do and who will adhere to the tenets of our Supplier Code of Conduct.
