modern slavery statement

Summary

AGF is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving sustainability of events, tours, venues, festivals and all live sector contributors. Our goal is to help the events sector become more sustainable through the provision of independent certification, training, CO2 analysis and consultation for all event types internationally.

AGF recognises that modern slavery refers to the illegal practices of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking which can be inclusive of child labour, domestic servitude, sex trafficking and workplace abuse. Modern slavery remains a violation of an individual’s basic human rights and AGF is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

This policy statement for financial year ending April 2024, reflects AGF’s commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationship and to implementing and enforcing appropriate systems and controls to ensure slavery, human trafficking and child labour is not taking place anywhere in our organisation or supply chains.
