The Group provides independent program management in the USA, UK and Europe, acting as a conduit for capital providers, such as reinsurers, and niche underwriting businesses, such as MGAs.

A Responsible Business

 

In 2025 the Group refreshed its Code of Conduct, which places Responsibility as a core value and, within that, stresses Accountability and Transparency. Accredited is committed to integrating the relevant ESG issues, including Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, into our recruitment, training and employee engagement programmes and into our tender and selection processes for suppliers.

 

Our Supply Chains

 

The Group operates within a regulated environment across the UK and Europe and does not have any complex supply chains or obtain goods/services or material services from suppliers with a high risk of slavery or human trafficking. We conduct regular due diligence (detailed below) across our business and supply chains and assess the risk of modern slavery or human trafficking existing within our business or supply chains to be low.

 

Our Due Diligence and Mitigation processes

 

Accredited complies with legal and regulatory requirements everywhere it conducts business and has embedded its Code of Conduct across its activities. The Code continues to affirm the Group’s commitment to compliance with equal employment opportunity laws and other applicable civil rights, human rights and employment and labour laws. Accredited expects staff to behave ethically and transparently and to be accountable for their actions.

 

During the year, Accredited’s policies, frameworks, and actions continued, with the aim to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply lines, and included:

 

Human Resources

 

• employment verification checks as part of the Group’s hiring process
• requiring agencies who supply workers to carry out employment verification checks, where relevant
• providing regular training for staff on sanctions restrictions, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and modern slavery and anti-trafficking legislation

 

Operations

 

• supplier due diligence using detailed questionnaires incorporating a new supplier form and sanctions checking procedures
• subjecting key business transactions to both onboarding and periodic regulatory screening
• providing ongoing training and support for all staff on how and where they can raise concerns about wrongdoing and assurances that they will not suffer reprisals for doing so
• providing a Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure, guiding staff on ways of whistleblowing, including an independent externally hosted whistleblowing platform through which staff can raise concerns.
