Modern Slavery Act Statement

This statement is made on behalf of Investec plc and its subsidiaries, Investec Bank plc, and its subsidiary Investec Asset Finance plc (collectively “Investec”). Investec understands the detrimental impact of modern slavery and human trafficking and the significance of addressing human rights risks, including modern slavery risks, across our organisation as well as the importance of actively working to eliminate such risks.

Investec strives to be a distinctive specialist bank and wealth manager driven by a commitment to our core philosophies and values. Part of this pledge entails compliance with relevant regulation and policy. We are therefore committed to addressing the requirements of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) and ensuring that our supply chain is compliant with the regulations prescribed therein.

We are committed to the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact which relate to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption and we support the international agenda to abolish human trafficking, slavery, forced labour and child labour.

We acknowledge the undertakings in the Act and endeavour to create a culture of transparency with regards to eliminating modern slavery in our role as an employer, in our supply chain of goods and services and while providing services to our clients. This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Act and constitutes Investec’s Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement, as required by the Act, for our financial year ended 31 March 2024.
