Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement
Purpose
Wellbeing Places REIG Limited ("WBP REIG") is committed to conducting its business responsibly and ethically, and to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in its operations and supply chains.
This Statement is made pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and reflects the Company's proportionate approach, taking account of its size, activities, and risk profile.
Our Business and Structure
WBP REIG is a UK-based real estate investment company operating within the construction and development and property management sectors.
The Company does not operate in higher risk jurisdictions but does have responsibility in labour-and supply-chain activities sometimes associated with elevated modern slavery risk.
Our Commitment
WBP REIG is committed to:
- acting with integrity and transparency in all business dealings;
- respecting human rights and dignity;
- avoiding involvement in any activity that could contribute to modern slavery or human trafficking; and
- taking reasonable steps to identify and mitigate risks within its operations and relationships.
Risk Assessment
Given the nature of the Company's activities, WBP REIG considers the risk of modern slavery within its direct operations to be low.
Potential areas of risk may arise indirectly through third-party suppliers or service providers. These risks are managed through proportionate governance and oversight arrangements.
Policies and Governance
WBP REIG's approach to modern slavery risk is supported by its wider governance framework, including:
- Code of Business Conduct & Ethics;
- Supplier & Independent Assurance Statement;
- Conflicts of Interest Policy; and
- Whistleblowing & Speaking Up Policy.
Together, these policies promote ethical conduct, transparency, and accountability.
Our Commitments
At WBP REIG we will:
- Prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all business areas.
- Protect vulnerable workers in our supply chain.
- Promote ethical procurement, transparency, and fair labour standards.
- Partner with clients, suppliers, and communities to raise awareness.
Supplier Expectations
Where appropriate, WBP REIG seeks to work with suppliers and partners who demonstrate ethical business practices and respect for applicable laws.
Supplier relationships are structured to support responsible conduct and to allow concerns to be raised and addressed if identified.
Risk Assessment & Due Diligence
Our risk management approach includes:
- Identifying and reviewing higher-risk areas such as labour recruitment, construction services, and overseas suppliers.
- Requiring suppliers to complete due diligence questionnaires and comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
- Conducting audits and corrective actions where risks are identified.
- Ensuring contracts contain modern slavery compliance clauses.
Speaking Up
WBP REIG encourages individuals to raise concerns about unethical behaviour, including any suspicion of modern slavery or human trafficking, through its whistleblowing arrangements.
Concerns raised in good faith will be taken seriously and addressed appropriately.
Social Value & Wider Impact
Our approach goes beyond compliance. Preventing modern slavery is part of our Social Value mission to create healthier, fairer, and more resilient communities.
WBP REIG will:
- Prioritise suppliers who demonstrate ethical employment practices.
- Encourage apprenticeships and skills development in construction and real estate.
- Support charities and survivor organisations that tackle exploitation.
