commitment is reflected in the following guideline
Ariyyoh operates in a clear and ethical context, and the Board reviews and approves a set of
guiding principles every year, which are as follows:
We aim to offer insight, analysis and services that are valued by our customers.
Underpinning our ability to fulfil this objective is our commitment to independence, integrity
and delivering high quality in everything we do. These values govern our relationships with
customers and clients, shareholders, colleagues, suppliers and the community at large.
We believe in conducting business with common decency. We are opposed to bribery and do
not engage in corrupt practices. We abide by strict guidelines governing the acceptance of
gifts and the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest.
We are opposed to modern slavery and human trafficking, both in our business and in our
supply chain
As an international company, we conduct business in many different markets around the
world. In Nigeria in which we operate, we abide by local laws and regulations.
We make an active contribution to local charities by charitable giving. We encourage our
people to participate in charitable and community activities and we permit them to take time
off for this purpose. We match employee donations of time and money to charities.
We respect environmental standards and comply with relevant local laws. We take
environmental issues seriously. All suppliers of paper and ink used in producing printing
materials adhere to one or more of the following internationally recognised environmental
standards: ISO 14001, FSC and PEFC.)
We value our colleagues and treat each other fairly. The Group is committed to equality of
opportunity in all employment practices and policies. We do not discriminate against
employees or job applicants on the grounds of age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
race, colour, religion, national origin or disability. We support colleagues who through
disability or illness are unable to perform their duties, by adapting the work environment and
hours of work to suit them as far as practicable. We provide employee assistance
programmes and access to mental-health facilities.
Ariyyoh is committed to increasing employee diversity. We particularly focus on ensuring that
we recruit from the widest possible pool of talent – male and female. We are also keen that
people feel comfortable and valued at work, regardless of their background. We recognise
that it is essential to keep colleagues informed of the progress of the company. We provide
colleagues with information on the company’s activities and its financial performance through
regular meetings and communication through our intranet. We have a strong consultative
culture and we follow legal and regulatory requirements to consult with colleagues on major
issues affecting the company.
The company is committed to achieving gender parity and we are making progress; however,
we still need to increase the number of women at senior management levels through career
progression and recruitment.
DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES FOR MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate the risk of human slavery and human
trafficking in our supply chains, we conducted an initial review of suppliers across New
ARIYYOH Global CO. Ltd in October 2020 and an additional review in April 2021 We monitor
our suppliers regularly and conduct periodic in-depth reviews using clear risk evaluation
guidelines, with each member of the Leadership Team evaluating suppliers in their supply
chains and the results then being reviewed.
We have determined that we are in low risk industries, characterised by low volume, high
value work activity, and we are confident that there is no modern slavery or human
trafficking taking place within our direct organisation. Our risk assessment process has led us
to conclude that the vast majority of our suppliers are similarly low-risk. Parts of our supply
chains, however, are in industries that do pose a medium risk because suppliers in these
areas may rely on seasonal, low paid and low skilled workers – for example in our events
business, where we routinely hire Finishers. In any instances where we feel there is such a
risk, we contact our existing suppliers in writing, reminding them of our values and ethical
standards, and reiterating the expectations we have when working with them. We expect to
conduct further supplier risk reviews in the future.
We have also implemented systems to identify, monitor and mitigate the risk of modern
slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains.
SUPPLIER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES AND ETHICS
We do not tolerate modern slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in our supply
chains and contractors comply with our values, we have put in place a new-supplier process
which both assesses the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in any new supplier
and its own supply chains before we engage with that supplier; and (ii) gives us the ability to
monitor and audit suppliers once they have been engaged. Taken together with periodic
detailed reviews of suppliers, we believe this process gives us confidence in ensuring our
supply chain complies with the Modern Slavery Act.
Our audit, legal and business operations teams are involved in ensuring this process works
effectively and will monitor it regularly, adapting as necessary to the changing needs of our
business.
TRAINING
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking
in our business and in our supply chains, where appropriate, we ask our business partners to
provide training to their staff and suppliers.
