Statement applicable to the financial year ended 30 September 2026.
Victoria Miro Gallery Ltd. (Victoria Miro) Company no. 02744895 is committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out the steps that Victoria Miro is taking to ensure modern slavery is not taking place in our business or supply chains and is made according to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Victoria Miro is a commercial art gallery that showcases the work of established and emerging artists from the USA, Europe, and Asia.
Our supply chains extend beyond the UK to Europe, Asia, and elsewhere, and we recognise that risk may exist at multiple tiers (i.e. subcontractors to our direct suppliers). At present, our highest risk spend categories include (but are not limited to):
1. Construction and Design;
2. Shipping and Transport;
3. Hospitality;
4. Facilities;
5. Manufacturing.
We acknowledge that we may not yet have full visibility of all subcontractors and will continuously work to deepen our mapping over time.
Our Performance
Set out below is a summary of our activities over the financial year beginning September 2025 and what we set out to achieve going forward.
New Suppliers:
Previously, our procurement procedures required potential suppliers to confirm their adherence to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 only where their services fell within our primary risk categories, which were determined by the level of spend and the nature of activities, and where the anticipated expenditure exceeded £25,000.
We now intend to extend this requirement to all potential suppliers, regardless of spend or risk category, to ensure a consistent and robust approach to due diligence.
For suppliers that have published a Modern Slavery Statement on their website, we will review their policy and follow up with any additional enquiries where clarification or further assurance is required.
Existing Suppliers:
Between April 2024 and April 2025, Victoria Miro Gallery Ltd conducted due diligence on all suppliers with whom we spent £25,000 or more. As part of this process, we carried out a risk assessment based on factors including geographic location, industry sector, and annual turnover. Of the 125 suppliers reviewed, 42 were identified as potentially high risk. We subsequently engaged with these suppliers to seek clarification on their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. We received responses from 10 of these suppliers and intend to follow up with the remaining suppliers.
Following consultation with our Heads of Department, we have also begun a wider initiative to contact suppliers we regularly work with, requesting that they sign a compliance declaration. In addition, companies with an annual turnover of £36 million or more are required to provide a copy of their Modern Slavery Policy and Statement for our records.
