Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Financial Year Ending 31 December 2025
This statement is made by Les Ambassadeurs (“Les A”) pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
This is our eighth Modern Slavery Statement and applies to the relevant companies within the Les A group covered by this statement.
As a leading high-end business based in London, we recognise our responsibility to conduct our operations ethically, responsibly and fairly. This includes taking appropriate steps to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. We are committed to preventing modern slavery within our own operations and to working with suppliers and business partners who share appropriate ethical and employment standards.
This commitment forms part of the wider social responsibility and ethical standards adopted by Les A. We also support the principles reflected in internationally recognised human-rights standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Our Business
Les A and its group of companies operate a leading high-end casino in Mayfair, London, supported by a UK-licensed remote gambling platform and associated travel and hospitality services.
Our principal business operations are based in the UK, although we serve a diverse international clientele and engage with suppliers providing goods and services from the UK and overseas.
Our business model is highly specialised and our workforce and supply chains are comparatively limited in scale. Nevertheless, we recognise that modern-slavery risks can arise in businesses of all sizes and that certain products, services, sectors and jurisdictions may present a greater risk than others.
Our Workforce
We employ approximately 300 staff in the UK. We make only occasional use of externally contracted workers and do not routinely rely on casual labour.
We maintain a comprehensive suite of HR policies and procedures designed to promote safe, fair and lawful working conditions. These include our Recruitment Policy, Equal Opportunities Policy, Grievance Procedure, Whistleblowing Policy and Code of Conduct.
Our recruitment processes include appropriate right-to-work and eligibility checks. Employees are required to comply with our Code of Conduct and are encouraged to report any suspected wrongdoing or concerns relating to working practices.
Our Whistleblowing Policy provides employees with a mechanism through which concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
We are committed to fair pay and ensure that our employees receive at least the Real Living Wage. We also seek to provide appropriate opportunities for professional development and progression throughout the business.
Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains principally include:
- food and beverage suppliers;
- entertainment and hospitality providers;
- IT hardware, software and technology providers;
- specialist gaming equipment and services;
- uniform and textile manufacturers;
- professional and consultancy services; and
- occasional subcontracted labour and other specialist services.
While our land-based casino operates from a single physical location, our supply chain extends beyond that location and includes both UK and overseas suppliers.
We recognise that modern-slavery risks may be greater in certain sectors and jurisdictions, particularly where supply chains involve manufacturing, lower-paid or temporary labour, subcontracting or production in countries where employment protections may be less developed or effectively enforced.
Areas of potentially higher exposure within our supply chain include uniform and textile manufacturing, IT hardware production and certain subcontracted or labour-intensive services.
Our Policies on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
Les A is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chains.
Our internal policies and procedures support this commitment. Employees are required to comply with our Code of Conduct and are expected to report suspected unethical or unlawful conduct.
Our Whistleblowing Policy provides a confidential mechanism for employees to raise concerns, including concerns relating to employment practices, exploitation or potential modern slavery.
We continue to review our procurement and supplier-management arrangements to ensure that modern-slavery considerations are incorporated into our approach where appropriate and proportionate to the risks presented.
We expect suppliers and business partners to operate lawfully and ethically and to maintain appropriate employment and labour standards.
Risk Assessment and Due Diligence
Our approach to modern-slavery risk is proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of our business and supply chains.
When assessing suppliers, we consider relevant risk factors which may include:
- the nature of the goods or services being supplied;
- the sector in which the supplier operates;
- the geographical location of the supplier and its operations;
- the extent to which temporary, migrant, subcontracted or other potentially vulnerable labour may be used;
- the complexity of the supplier’s own supply chain; and
- information available regarding the supplier’s ethical, employment and modern-slavery practices.
New suppliers are subject to proportionate due diligence having regard to their overall risk profile. Where appropriate, this may include consideration of the supplier’s own modern-slavery statement, relevant policies and procedures and other information concerning its approach to employment, labour standards and human rights.
Where potential higher-risk indicators are identified, additional information may be requested before the supplier is approved or the relationship is continued.
Our approach is intended to focus additional scrutiny on suppliers and services presenting a greater potential modern-slavery risk rather than applying the same level of assessment irrespective of risk.
2025 Update
During the financial year ending 31 December 2025, Les A continued to review modern-slavery risks within its business and supply chains.
As the business continued to develop and diversify its services, new suppliers were onboarded during the year. Suppliers were subject to our established onboarding and due-diligence processes, with the level of assessment determined by the nature of the supplier and the risks associated with the goods or services being provided.
Procurement personnel continued to consider supplier risk as part of the onboarding and contracting process. Particular attention was given, where relevant, to factors including sector, geographical location, labour model and the nature of the supplier’s operations.
Where appropriate, modern-slavery statements, ethical-labour policies and other relevant information were considered as part of this process.
Our assessment continues to identify uniform and textile manufacturing, IT hardware production and certain subcontracted or labour-intensive services as areas where there may be comparatively greater exposure to modern-slavery risk.
We will continue to review suppliers engaged during 2025 and those continuing to provide goods and services during 2026, applying additional scrutiny where the nature of the relationship or supplier risk profile warrants it.
Training and Awareness
We recognise that effective prevention of modern slavery depends upon relevant employees understanding the potential warning signs and knowing how to respond to concerns.
This statement will be communicated to relevant employees and made available as appropriate to promote awareness of our approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.
Employees involved in purchasing, procurement and supplier engagement will continue to receive appropriate information and training concerning modern-slavery risks and the importance of identifying and escalating potential concerns.
Suppliers identified as presenting a potentially higher risk may be required to provide additional information or evidence concerning their employment practices and measures taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.
Monitoring Our Effectiveness
We recognise the importance of assessing the effectiveness of the steps we take rather than relying solely upon policies and procedures.
Our approach to monitoring effectiveness includes consideration of:
- the application of modern-slavery considerations during supplier onboarding and due diligence;
- the identification and review of higher-risk suppliers or sectors;
- concerns raised through our Whistleblowing Policy or other reporting channels;
- any identified instances of non-compliance or inappropriate employment practices;
- action taken in response to identified concerns; and
- relevant training and awareness provided to employees involved in procurement and supplier management.
We will continue to develop our approach to measuring effectiveness as our supplier-risk assessment processes evolve.
Where concerns are identified, they will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and appropriate action will be taken having regard to the nature and seriousness of the issue.
Looking Forward
We recognise that modern-slavery risks continue to evolve and that global economic pressures, geopolitical developments and increasingly complex international supply chains may increase the vulnerability of workers in certain sectors and jurisdictions.
During 2026, our focus will be to:
- continue applying a proportionate, risk-based approach to supplier due diligence;
- maintain particular focus on suppliers operating in higher-risk sectors or jurisdictions;
- continue developing our assessment of modern-slavery risk within our supply chain;
- review concerns raised through our Whistleblowing Policy and other reporting mechanisms;
- continue promoting awareness amongst employees with purchasing or supplier-management responsibilities; and
- take appropriate action where a supplier does not meet our expected ethical or employment standards.
Where concerns are identified, we will seek to understand their nature and severity and determine an appropriate response. This may include seeking further information, requiring remedial action or, where appropriate, reconsidering our relationship with the supplier.
Our objective is to continue improving our understanding of modern-slavery risks and to ensure that the measures we adopt remain appropriate and proportionate to our business and supply chains.
