About Holiday Extras structure and business
Holiday Extras Limited is a United Kingdom based company which is part of a group of companies involved in the supply of travel ancillaries such as airport parking, hotels, lounges, travel insurance & other ancillary items and UK short break products. The company employs over 484 employees, located at it's head office in Kent.
Our commitment and policies
Holiday Extras recognises the importance of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 as a tool in combating the widespread human rights abuses comprised in modern slavery. It has a continued commitment to trying to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in all supply chains, or any part of it's businesses and operates a zero-tolerance policy in this regard.
It does have an Anti-Slavery Policy, Anti-Bribery, Anti-money laundering and Whistleblowing Policy which are reviewed annually, and also operates a number of other internal policies to ensure that it is conducting business in a transparent and ethical manner.
Holiday Extras supply chain and due diligence
When arranging travel ancillaries, Holiday Extras acts as an agent and customers contract directly with their chosen suppliers, and Holiday Extras does not own or operate these services.
Nearly all suppliers we work with are based in the United Kingdom and we endeavour only to use reputable suppliers. The company continues to collaborate with business partners to enable it to get a complete understanding of ethical and modern slavery risks to all its business operations and their supply chains. The company has contractual obligations for suppliers so they work with us in accordance with Holiday Extras values and have a duty to provide assurance of their own business practices around modern slavery and human trafficking through warranties and undertakings. Further, as part of our due diligence efforts, we assess suppliers on their compliance with labour laws and employee welfare.
Assessment and effectiveness
Suppliers - given the nature and location of our suppliers, and our due diligence efforts, it is considered the risk of slavery or human trafficking within our supply chain to be low.
Investments - Holiday Extras as a group is committed to preventing modern slavery and this commitment includes our investment choices. We assess our investments to ensure they comply with ethical standards and do not support modern slavery. Our approach includes regular reviews of our investment portfolio to ensure compliance with laws, including the Modern Slavery Act.
People - our recruitment processes are transparent in a policy, and we have comprehensive vetting procedures in place which involve the use of external service providers. We are therefore able to confirm their identities, and their right to work in the UK and ensure that their reward is paid directly into a personal bank account. All employees are paid above the UK's national living wage.
Training - we continue to work closely with our team members to raise awareness to help ensure that we understand, identify and assess modern slavery risks within, and to, its business, and when reporting is appropriate. This is done on an annual refresher basis.
Ongoing monitoring - if issues are identified in relation to modern slavery, these will be dealt with by the management with the support of the legal and compliance teams. The company continues to try to develop mature processes around anti-modern slavery and human trafficking in it's businesses and it's partnerships. The company strives to raise awareness of, and to develop mature processes around, anti-slavery and human trafficking in all it's businesses and it's partnerships.
