We are committed to improving our practices to combat modern slavery in our business by taking steps, as far as we are able, to ensure that our supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out the steps we taken in 2024 to understand potential modern slavery risks within our business structure and supply chain, and as well as the steps taken to eradicate these risks.

We are a small business providing solutions for IT services and products. Our annual turnover is under £36 million. Although we are not required to make a modern slavery statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we are making this voluntary statement to show our commitment to ethical trading principles and to set out the steps we are taking to identify risks and tackle modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and in our supply chains.

We are committed to ethical trading principles and to acquiring goods and services without harm to others.

To help identify and monitor the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain we vet suppliers and sub-contractors to ensure that they are committed to ethical labour practices.

We use the following key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure how effective we have been at ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:
• The percentage of suppliers and sub-contractors vetted for ethical labour practices.
• The number of inspections of direct suppliers and sub-contractors in our supply chains in the past year.
• The number of reported breaches in the past year.
• Percentage of staff receiving training on identifying and addressing the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to our staff. We also require our business partners to provide training to their staff and suppliers and providers.
