Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
Statement
Premierplug Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

1 This statement is prepared for the purposes
of Part 6 (Section 54) of the Modern Slavery
Act 2015 on behalf of Premierplug
Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. and all group
companies including but not limited to
Premierplug LLC (the “Group” or “we”) and
forms our
slavery and human trafficking statement for
the financial year ending 30 September 2023.
The statement sets out the steps the Group
has taken to ensure that slavery and human
trafficking is not taking place in our
supply chains or in any part of our
business.

Our principles

3 We aim at all times to carry out our
business in compliance with local laws and
best practice. The Code of Ethics and
Business Conduct (the “Code”) applies to all
personnel worldwide and we expect all
employees to conduct themselves ethically
and in compliance with the law. Where
relevant and as set out in paragraph 6
below, we also require third parties with
whom we do business to act in a way that is
consistent with the Code. The Code provides
information, resources and tools to help
guide our employees’ actions including in
relation to respect for human rights and
combating abuses of them, whether through
human trafficking, slavery, child labour or
otherwise. The Code also details ’s policies
and procedures relating to grievances,
ethics, fraud and corruption, disciplinary
issues and whistleblowing which allow and
encourage any employee, consultant,
contractor, supplier or agency worker with
relevant information about modern slavery or
human trafficking to come forward without
fear of retaliation and also to allow the
Group to take any necessary corrective
action immediately. No concerns about modern
slavery or human trafficking have, to the
knowledge of the Directors of the Group,
been raised at any time in the year under
review.

Our services

4 As a professional services organisation,
our primary activity is brokering revenue
generating agreements between our clients
and third parties. Our clients are generally
professional athletes or creative artists
who enter into such agreements as principal
and are responsible for obtaining their own
independent tax and legal advice. As such,
we consider the risk of modern slavery
within our primary business activities to be
low.

5 The professional football (soccer) transfer
system can involve the movement of minors
across international borders. Any such
movement is subject to strict regulation by
FIFA and by national football associations.
Where we are involved in such movement, this
is carried out in accordance with relevant
laws and regulations (including, where
applicable, relevant screening and checking
requirements).

Our supply chain

6  Our “supply chain” in relation to the
provision of professional services to our
clients consists in the main of other
services delivered to us. There are very
limited circumstances where we may provide
our services via a third party supplier, for
example providing on-ground hospitality
services at an event we have organized as
part of our provision of services to a
client. Where relevant for the services
being provided, we contractually require
third party suppliers to comply with our
Supplier Code of Conduct, available online
at https://www.premierplug.org/legal/supplier-code-conduct
(and see paragraph 12 below). This states
that has a zero-tolerance policy for the use
of child or forced labour or human
trafficking practices. We also require
suppliers to comply with all applicable
laws, of which laws prohibiting modern
slavery would be a part. Some suppliers may
have their own direct obligations under the
Modern Slavery Act and/or their own
regulatory oversight regime in any event. We
have not received any report of the
existence of exploitative practices
(slavery, child labour or trafficking) in
any of those businesses. Consequently, we
believe these providers to present a low
risk so far as issues with trafficking and
modern slavery are concerned, and so we do
not at this stage take or propose to take
any specific action in relation to these
services relationships beyond our normal
supplier contractual and approval processes.
If our experience or perception of the
extent of that risk changes then this
position will be revisited.

7  We do not generally supply goods to our
clients or to third parties except as
ancillary to the provision of the
professional services referenced in
paragraph 6 above (e.g., a limited range of
branded items as part of a client event).
Where relevant for the goods being provided
and if practicable in all of the
circumstances, we will contractually require
third party suppliers to comply with our
Supplier Code of Conduct. Consequently, we
believe these providers to present a low
risk so far as issues with trafficking and
modern slavery are concerned, and so we do
not at this stage take or propose to take
any specific action in relation to these
services relationships beyond our normal
supplier contractual and approval processes.
If our experience or perception of the
extent of that risk changes then this
position will be revisited.

8  To the very limited extent to which we are
supplied with goods ourselves, many will be
ordinary office consumables and promotional
items and obtained in the main from
substantial, established and reputable
office suppliers, whether in the UK or
overseas. Those suppliers may have their own
obligations under the UK Modern Slavery Act
(or overseas equivalent in relation to their
supply chain).

9  We also receive services in relation to
our own operations through the use of
external contractors to provide our
cleaning, catering, maintenance, mail room,
photocopying, security, transport,
hotel/travel booking and reception services.

10  We consider that the supply of internal
(non-professional) services and of goods may
(being for the most part not professionally
regulated and/or sourced from countries with
less well developed legal protections
against exploitation) as set out in
paragraphs 8 and 9 above carry a marginally
greater risk of slavery or human trafficking
than the “supply chain” services referred to
in paragraph 6 above. However, we do not
consider there to be a material risk of
slavery, child labour or trafficking in any
business relationship concerning the supply
of goods or services to us over which we
have any direct control. We have however
developed certain minimum conditions to be
included where practicable in our
arrangements with approved suppliers of such
goods and services. To be “approved”, we
generally require a prospective supplier to
provide certain information and undertakings
about its supply chain and other business
practices. The nature and extent of the
information requested from each supplier is
proportionate to the perceived risk, having
regard to factors including the volume,
frequency and value of goods and/or services
to be supplied, any unusual time or costs
pressures to be imposed by us, the nature of
the goods or services and their geographical
origin, the supplier’s market reputation and
the history of our prior dealings with it,
if any.

11 We use this information to assess the
extent of any risk of slavery, child labour
or human trafficking in that supplier’s (and
hence our own) supply chain. As matters
stand as at the date of this statement,
these processes have not given us any reason
to suspect the existence of child labour,
modern slavery or human trafficking issues
in this part of our supply chain. Compliance
with these terms and the absence of any
grounds for suspicion on our part of such
issues are pre-conditions for any supplier’s
tender being taken forward through our
procurement processes.

Supplier requirements

12  As referenced in paragraphs 6 and 7
above, we require compliance with our
Supplier Code of Conduct with all relevant
suppliers. The Supplier Code of Conduct sets
out the standards we expect our suppliers to
uphold at all times relating to various
matters including anti-bribery and
corruption, labour and human rights, safety
and ethical behaviour. We are currently
reviewing our internal processes to ensure
that the issuance of our Supplier Code of
Conduct to suppliers is embedded into our
procurement process across all of our
various business lines.

13  Although we are confident that the issue
has never so far arisen in practice, we are
aware of the need to avoid imposing demands
on our suppliers which, by reason of their
size or urgency or pricing or timing of
payment of their bills may force or
encourage those suppliers to resort to
slavery or trafficked labour to meet them.

Corporate responsibility

14 Responsibility for the Group’s compliance
with the Modern Slavery Act lies on an
operational basis with the Office of the
Chief Legal Officer (OCLO) and its HR and
Facilities teams, and managerially with the
senior management of the Group. This
statement is issued with the consent of the
senior management of the Group.
