Demonstrated progress

We have a strategy and 5 workstreams that develop annual action plans to ensure we continue to develop and progress our approach to Modern Slavery. We have a MS Working Group of a x section of internal and external stakeholders that monitors progress and activities throughout the year. We partner with Slave Free Alliance to support our strategy and actions.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: MAG Colleagues being trafficked or used as modern day slaves.
• Area: Within your own operations
• Group: Women Migrants Refugees
• Mitigation: Due to the highly regulated nature of our business, which requires robust and extensive colleague checks in the recruitment process and ongoing ‘in employment’ checks for some roles, we believe this risk is low. MAG has an ongoing requirement for temporary labour, and staff for these roles may be recruited by third party agencies. All agencies used by MAG are suppliers and are therefore subject to our supply chain due diligence and controls.
• Risk: Our airports (Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands) are used as a route through which people are trafficked (knowingly or unknowingly).
• Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
• Mitigation: Human trafficking through our airports is an inherent risk within our business. We work closely with specialists and SME's including Slave Free Alliance, A21, UK Border Force, local police forces to monitor all operations at our airports in a cohesive way. We respond quickly where we believe our airports are being used to facilitate human trafficking and, with the support of these specialists, including our own Chaplaincy teams, we are able to manage these cases sensitively and effectively.
• Risk: Our suppliers bringing modern slavery into our airports or allowing it to take place in their operations.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
• Mitigation: MAG adopts a risk-based approach to supplier due diligence, underpinned by our Sustainable Procurement Strategy, commitment to human rights and our partnership with EcoVadis, an independent sustainability ratings provider. We use digital tools to screen all transacting suppliers against a range of indicators, including country and sector exposure, supplier policies, certifications, and adverse media. This enables us to identify, assess and mitigate potential MS risks across our supply chain.
