Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

This statement is made by CIKNOW Limited in accordance with Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.

CIKNOW Limited is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not occur within our business or supply chains. We operate with integrity and expect the same standards from the organisations with which we work.

Our Business

CIKNOW Limited is a UK-based management consultancy providing technology and transformation advisory services to clients.

Our operations are professional in nature and are carried out both virtually and within our offices. Our supply chain primarily consists of:

·       professional services partners

·       independent consultants and contractors

·       technology and IT service providers

·       office and administrative suppliers

Due to the nature of our activities, we consider the risk of modern slavery within our direct operations to be low.

Policies and Governance

CIKNOW is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. We expect all employees, consultants, and suppliers to operate in accordance with applicable laws and ethical standards.

Our approach is supported by:

·       Business Ethics Policy

·       responsible supplier selection practices

Concerns regarding unethical conduct or potential modern slavery risks can be raised to our Leadership Team.

Due Diligence

When engaging suppliers or consultants, we take reasonable steps to ensure they operate responsibly and comply with relevant employment and labour laws.

Our approach includes:

·       working with reputable suppliers and partners

·       maintaining transparent contractual relationships

·       addressing any concerns raised regarding labour practices

We expect our suppliers, contractors and business partners to uphold similar standards in relation to human rights, labour practices and ethical conduct. Where appropriate, we will seek confirmation that suppliers operate in accordance with applicable employment laws and do not engage in practices associated with modern slavery or human trafficking.

Risk Assessment

Given the nature of our consultancy services and the geographic location of our operations, the risk of modern slavery within our business activities is considered low.

However, we remain vigilant and will review our practices as our business evolves.

Awareness

The leadership team maintains awareness of modern slavery risks and will provide guidance to employees and consultants where appropriate.

Approval

This statement has been approved by the Directors of CIKNOW Limited and will be reviewed periodically.
