Modern Slavery

Statement 2022

Introduction

This Modern Slavery Statement is made on behalf of EVT Limited ("EVT" or the "Group") and the reporting entities listed below:

  • The Greater Union Organisation Limited;
  • Birch, Carroll & Coyle Limited;
  • Rydges Hotels Limited; and
  • QT Hotels and Resorts Limited.

This is EVT's third Modern Slavery Statement, which outlines the steps we have taken during the reporting year ended 30 June 2022 to continue to understand and address the Modern Slavery risks in our operations and supply chain.

In this third Modern Slavery Statement, we continued working and improving our processes to ensure that we help eliminate modern slavery where possible.

Modern Slavery can have a significant impact within any community and EVT opposes slavery in all its forms which is why we endeavour to use reputable suppliers.

EVT's human rights strategy is underpinned by our purpose: to make the day better for ourselves, our customers, our team and our community. We are constantly considering new and better ways to achieve this purpose.

We recognise that the decisions we make within the EVT Group and how we choose to provide our experiences to customers can impact the livelihoods of people and communities in which we operate. We appreciate that we have a responsibility and opportunity to help eliminate modern slavery through our own actions and by working with our reputable suppliers.

Responsible procurement is vital and we understand the importance of ensuring that environmental, social and ethical considerations are taken into account when making procurement decisions and as such, we endeavour to interact with suppliers that also share that common understanding.
