Human rights and modern slavery

We recognise that Phoenix may be connected to impacts on people across our many roles and are committed to proactively avoiding and addressing harm that may occur through our operations, in how we support our customers and colleagues and within our supply chain and investment portfolio.

We are ambitious in our desire to lead the way in respecting human rights and recognise our responsibility to do this in accordance with:

• The International Bill of Human Rights
• The International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Core Conventions

We are committed to aligning with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (‘UNGPs’), the authoritative global framework on business and human rights, and our ambition is to encourage other organisations to do the same.  Our human rights policy sets out the action we are taking to respect human rights in accordance with the UNGPs.

Phoenix also remains committed to addressing modern slavery, servitude, forced labour; and human trafficking in all its forms and carrying out our business in a fair, honest, ethical and open manner. We comply with all relevant provisions set out in the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, including publishing an annual Modern Slavery Statement.
