Statement
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Agilio Software’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending March 2023. Here, we state the actions and strategies we have implemented to identify and minimise the risk of slavery and human trafficking taking place in our business or within our supply chain.
This statement applies to all persons:
- Working for Agilio Software or on our behalf, including employees at all levels.
- Our suppliers, business partners and contractors.
Modern slavery involves the exploitation of humans for commercial or personal gain. Modern slavery can take various forms, such as forced labour, domestic servitude, and human trafficking. All forms of modern slavery are violations of human rights.
Agilio Software has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery within its business and its supply chain. We are committed to continually reviewing and managing the company’s practices to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
Agilio Software is not aware of any slavery or exploitation in any part of our business or supply chain. We consider our risk level to be low.
Commitment
Agilio Software is committed to annually reviewing our statement and our policies and so mitigating any risk of modern slavery within our business.
In 2023, we will continue to increase our awareness of areas of higher risk and build on our understanding of modern slavery within the software sector. Agilio Software is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking do not take place anywhere in the business. We communicate our values and our commitment to combatting modern slavery in our company-wide policies, which include:
- Employee Code of Conduct
- Staff handbook
- Whistleblowing policy
- Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Training on the elimination of modern slavery in the business is provided to all staff. We provide our employees with an internal online training course ‘Anti-slavery and human trafficking’.
Supplier Due Diligence
Agilio Software expects the same high standards and compliance of its suppliers. As part of our contracting process, we include prohibitions against modern slavery, and we expect that our Suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards. We have introduced a supplier pre-qualification questionnaire for prospective suppliers, which will ensure that our suppliers mirror our values in this area of ethical governance.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct communicates the company’s policies and expectations. A supplier must report any incident or suspicion of modern slavery at the earliest possible stage to our Chief HR Officer or the relevant Divisional Managing Director. Agilio Software will immediately terminate its relationship with a supplier if the policy has been violated.
Responsibility
Agilio Software understands that it has a continued responsibility for managing and mitigating the risk of modern slavery within its business and its supply chain in the long term. We will update our understanding and reassess the nature of the risk, reviewing the relevance and value of the existing policies and strategies.
The responsibility of reviewing and mitigating the risk of modern slavery within Agilio Software and its supply chain belongs to:
- The Board of Directors, which has overall responsibility to ensure Agilio Software complies with legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it.
- The Chief HR Officer is responsible for regularly monitoring the company’s policies and strategies for combatting modern slavery in the business and the supply chain.
- The Chief HR Officer is responsible for ensuring everyone at all levels has completed training.
