Modern Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This statement is published pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by Eiger Office to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its operations and supply chains.
Eiger Office is a private investment office based in London, United Kingdom. The office manages a diversified global investment portfolio and coordinates with external advisors, service providers and financial institutions to support its operations.
The office's supply chain includes professional service providers such as investment managers, legal advisors, accountants, tax consultants and technology service providers. Given the nature of operations as an investment office, the direct supply chain is limited in scale and complexity, consisting primarily of professional services firms operating in regulated industries.
Eiger Office maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This commitment is embedded in the office's operational policies and investment decision-making processes.
The office's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Statement establishes clear expectations regarding human rights and labour standards across investment activities. All portfolio companies and investment managers are expected to respect fundamental human rights, maintain fair labour practices and prohibit forced labour, child labour and human trafficking throughout their operations and supply chains.
Procurement policies require service providers to confirm compliance with applicable laws relating to modern slavery and to demonstrate appropriate due diligence in their own operations.
Due diligence on modern slavery risks is integrated into both investment processes and supplier selection.
ESG considerations, including assessment of labour practices and human rights policies, form part of investment due diligence across all asset classes. Investment managers are evaluated on their ESG capabilities and approaches to identifying and managing modern slavery risks within their portfolios.
Portfolio companies are assessed for compliance with labour laws, ethical employment practices and supply chain transparency. Ongoing monitoring includes review of ESG disclosures, engagement on material issues and evaluation of incidents or controversies related to labour practices.
Service providers are required to confirm their compliance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 where applicable. The office reviews supplier modern slavery statements and assesses their policies and procedures for preventing modern slavery in their operations and supply chains.
Eiger Office conducts periodic assessments to identify modern slavery risks within its operations, supply chains and investment portfolio.
Given the office's limited direct operations and reliance on professional service providers in regulated industries, the risk of modern slavery within the immediate supply chain is assessed as low. However, the office recognises potential risks may exist further down supply chains, particularly in relation to technology services and facilities management.
Within the investment portfolio, risks are assessed based on sector exposure, geographic operations and supply chain complexity of portfolio companies. Higher-risk sectors and regions are subject to enhanced scrutiny during investment due diligence and ongoing monitoring.
The office engages with investment managers on their approaches to identifying, assessing and managing modern slavery risks within their portfolios, and expects transparency regarding incidents and remediation efforts.
Eiger Office monitors the following indicators to measure the effectiveness of steps taken to prevent modern slavery:
The office is committed to continuous improvement in identifying and addressing modern slavery risks and will enhance measurement practices as the regulatory landscape and best practices evolve.
All staff members receive training on modern slavery risks, indicators and the office's commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.
Training covers the legal requirements under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, risk factors within investment portfolios and supply chains, and appropriate escalation procedures where concerns are identified.
Training materials are reviewed and updated periodically to reflect regulatory developments and emerging best practices.
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement has been approved by the principal of Eiger Office and will be reviewed annually.
