Modern Slavery Statement

Where possible, 35 South engages partners and suppliers that aim to support the community by employing vulnerable populations.

We promote relevant businesses internally and procure from such suppliers for both internal needs and client work.35 South works with various suppliers across its offices for multiple services, including information technology, finance, marketing, and HR.

We also engage in travel booking and transport services and catering and cleaning services for facilities management.

While we deal with most of these suppliers directly, in many cases, these suppliers will also work with entities with that we do not have a direct contractual relationship.

35 South maintains a centralised email address for people to report concerns regarding modern slavery and unethical practices within the firm.

The 35 South legal representatives will receive these concerns to determine the best course of action.

Risks of Modern Slavery

In terms of our people, the risk of there being any issues of modern slavery is low as our employment contracts comply with the relevant laws in each jurisdiction in which we operate.

Regarding our direct supply chain, there is also minimal risk of modern slavery as our business does not intersect directly with any high-risk industries.

We are, however, engaged with high-risk industries indirectly. For example, our building managers engage cleaners to perform cleaning services in our offices.

35 South places a specific focus on preventing modern slavery from occurring through its adjacent exposures to high-risk industries associated with its commercial tenancies.

35 South has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery.

While we always seek to engage with ethical suppliers and vendors, we recognise the need to regularly review our policies and procedures as our business grows in both jurisdictional reach and operational sophistication.
