Modern slavery risks
JLL is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards and engaging in practices that enhance the welfare, safety, and well-being of our employees, business partners, and wider communities across the world. Like any large organization
that operates across geographical borders and has complex supply chains, we must work hard to overcome challenges to ensure that these standards are upheld across every facet of
our business. This Statement identifies the key modern slavery challenges we inherently face as an organization.
We continually review our operations and supply chains to understand modern slavery risks associated with them. As part of this review, we consider sector and industry risk, products and services risk, geographic risk, and entity risk.
Areas of vulnerability identified in our operations include:
Sector and industry risk:
JLL encounters risk through the supply partners we hire to provide services to our clients, who may employ people just starting in the labor market, without higher education, on entry-level wages, or who are otherwise vulnerable, for property management and construction projects. We recognize that some products that we or our supply partners procure to provide services may also pose a modern slavery risk, such as office consumables (coffee, paper products, and fresh fruit), personal protective equipment, manufactured components of office furniture/furnishings, and technology equipment.
Products and services risk:
JLL, like others in our industry, has high supply partner spending in five key sectors in which modern slavery is prevalent: construction, janitorial, landscaping and ground maintenance, hospitality, and security services. In addition, JLL develops technology products and provides technology solutions to clients, which may pose a risk from technology components made by forced labor. Having a supply chain that operates in these areas increases our inherent exposure to services provided or products made using forced labor as well as to certain operators who are becoming more clandestine in their approach as governments and other large organizations increasingly condemn modern slavery practices. So, it is critical that our due diligence processes are robust enough to identify and manage potential issues.
Geographic risk:
JLL operates in more than 80 countries, including in regions where there is geopolitical tension or in countries identified in the Global Slavery Index as having a higher prevalence of modern slavery in their populations. Additionally, we provide services in countries where the Global Slavery Index indicates there is little to no government action to address modern slavery and/or identifies a weak government response to modern slavery.
Operating in such environments poses a challenge, as it means we are advocating for a change in behavior in locations where modern slavery activities are commonplace or unregulated by the authorities. We continue to promote business practices that protect the most vulnerable in society as we work with clients and supply partners to increase awareness and implement controls to mitigate risk.
Entity risk:
The nature of our services means we have complex supply chains, which inherently exposes us to third-party conduct risk. We undertake numerous due diligence and monitoring activities to reduce this exposure, including training our supply partner employees.
Actions to assess and address modern slavery risks
Effective management
The JLL Modern Slavery Committee ("Committee") continued to expand its membership and meet quarterly throughout 2024. The Committee includes representation from a
cross-functional group of members from our global Ethics & Compliance, Sourcing & Procurement, Sustainability, and Human Resources teams, and our higher-risk business segments.
Committee members drive modern slavery awareness and compliance across our organization by disseminating program information to their teams, promoting education
and awareness initiatives, working cross-functionally on risk identification and mitigation strategies, and engaging with clients and supply partners about our program.
Additionally, Committee members empower their teams to:
-
aid clients with supply chain compliance by completing modern slavery questionnaires, agreeing to relevant contractual clauses, and participating in reviews and audits
-
support supply partners by promoting awareness of our program and providing guidance on recognizing and reporting modern slavery red flags in supply chains
Building awareness of our program and our annual Statement with our colleagues across the world remains a key activity throughout the year.
Actions included:
-
An all-company message to announce the publication of our Statement.
-
Worldwide communications to our Legal & Compliance teams, our Ethics Liaisons, and business segment channels to raise awareness of Modern Slavery.
-
A review and revision of our modern slavery intranet site, ensuring its content remained up-to-date and relevant for our employees.
Education and awareness
Education and awareness for our employees and supply partners are essential to help combat modern slavery. Tailored training dramatically increases the level of industry-specific understanding of the issue, while providing clear reporting processes for anyone who suspects an incident.
Due to the geographic diversity of our business, we focus on ensuring that our employees are aware of the devastating impact modern slavery has on individuals and communities, and how they can support our battle against modern slavery, regardless of local customs.
Employee training
We continue to concentrate on delivering our modern slavery training to our employees. Sourcing & Procurement remains the front line of defense in our program to combat modern slavery in our supply chains. In 2024, almost 600 of our Sourcing & Procurement professionals completed our Modern Slavery Express Training. Since our Express Training was rolled out, almost 20,000 employees have completed it.
We reviewed and updated our comprehensive modern slavery training module offered to our employees through our learning management system to ensure it remained current and relevant to our operations and supply chains. It is now available in Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Malay, Polish, French, German, Spanish, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian, and English.
