Anti-Slavery Policy

Policy Statement

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors and suppliers.

InfoTech Solutions Ltd strictly prohibits the use of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We have and will continue to be committed to implementing systems and controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation or in any of our supply chains. We expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

What is Modern Slavery?

Modern slavery is a term used to encompass slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded and child labour and human trafficking. Human trafficking is where a person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights.

Our Commitments

We expect everyone working with us or on our behalf to support and uphold the following measures to safeguard against modern slavery:

• We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our organisation and supply chains.
• The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our organisation or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or on our behalf. Workers must not engage in, facilitate or fail to report any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
• We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders and suppliers to address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain.
• We take a risk-based approach to our contracting processes and keep them under review. We assess whether circumstances warrant the inclusion of specific prohibitions against the use of modern slavery and trafficked labour in our contracts with third parties.

Supplier Due Diligence

Using our risk-based approach we may require:

• Employment and recruitment agencies and other third parties supplying workers to confirm their compliance with our Code of Conduct
• Suppliers engaging workers through a third party to obtain that third party's agreement to adhere to the Code

As part of our ongoing risk assessment and due diligence processes, we will consider whether circumstances warrant carrying out audits of suppliers for their compliance with our Code of Conduct.

Breaches of Policy

If we find that individuals or organisations working on our behalf have breached this policy we will take appropriate action. This may range from seeking remediation where possible to terminating such relationships entirely.
