Policy

Hicomply Limited provides and supports a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. We are committed to respecting and up holding the human rights of all individuals, treating everyone with dignity and respect, and complying with all applicable legislation relating to modern slavery and human trafficking.

We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, contractors and business partners and seek to work only with organisations that share our commitment to ethical business practices.

Operation

Modern Slavery Act

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires certain organisations to publish an annual Modern Slavery Statement outlining the steps they have taken to prevent modern slavery within their business and supply chains.

Regardless of any statutory reporting requirements, Hicomply Limited is committed to preventing modern slavery and continually reviewing the effectiveness of its controls.

Our Commitment:

Hicomply Limited will:

  • Maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.
  • Provide appropriate awareness training to employees so they can recognise the indicators of modern slavery and understand how to report concerns.
  • Assess suppliers using a risk-based approach to identify potential modern slavery risks within our supply chain.
  • Expect suppliers and business partners to comply with applicable modern slavery legislation and operation appropriate ethical working practices.
  • Include contractual provisions, where appropriate, allowing Hicomply Limited to terminate relationships where serious breaches of modern slavery legislation or ethical standards are identified.
  • Never knowingly use child labour, forced labour or any form of exploitation within our operations or procure services from organisations engaged in such practices.
  • Review this policy and associated due diligence activities on a regular basis t ensure they remain effective.

Reporting concerns:

Every employee has a responsibility to report any actual or suspected instances of modern slavery or human trafficking.

Concerns should be reported immediately to a line manager orthrough the organisation's Whistleblowing Procedure. Reports made in good faith will be treated confidentially and without retaliation.

Employees are not expected to investigate suspected cases themselves.
