Modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, servitude, slavery, and human trafficking. Victims are exploited for personal or commercial gain, and Aptia Group is committed to ensuring such practices have no place in our organisation or supply chain.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in our organisation and our supply chain. This statement outlines the actions we take to identify potential risks, implement preventative measures, and uphold ethical standards across all areas of our business on an ongoing basis. We are dedicated to acting ethically and with integrity in every relationship and enforcing effective systems and controls to protect against exploitation.
This commitment applies to all Aptia Group businesses, subsidiaries, and third-party suppliers with access to Aptia property, systems, or client data, as well as any parties working on our behalf. References to “Aptia,” “The Aptia Group,” or “the Group” in this statement include Aptia Group Holdings Limited and all its subsidiaries.
Aptia is a trusted provider of employee benefits and pensions administration services, with offices in the UK and US, supported by shared services in India and Portugal. We employ 3,325 employees, manage programmes covering over 7 million people and serve more than 1,000 clients.

Aptia’s Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and Whistleblowing Policy provide clear guidance on how employees can identify, prevent, and report any suspicious activities. Together, these policies reinforce the standards of integrity expected from every colleague, ensuring that we act responsibly and uphold ethical practices across our business. They empower employees to speak up with confidence, knowing that concerns will be taken seriously and addressed appropriately.
Aptia is committed to maintaining a workplace free from modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not engage with or conduct business with any organisation involved in such practices.
To uphold this commitment, we review and update this statement and our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy on an annual basis. This ensures our approach remains aligned with evolving legislation, best practices, and developments under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
