This statement is made on behalf of Catalyst2 Services Limited pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement.
We are an Internet Service Provider for the private sector.
Our Approach
Although the likelihood of an incidence of modern slavery in our business or our supply chains is low, we work to the highest ethical and professional standards and value transparency and accountability in all our dealings. We have a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and expect the same high standards from those we work with.
We have put in place a Modern Slavery Policy which is supported by other internal policies and HR processes such as our Whistleblowing Policy and Disciplinary Rules and Procedure.
Responsibility
The Directors are ultimately responsible for compliance internally and in our supplier relationships.
Supplier Due Diligence
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business.
As part of our Compliance programme we do due diligence checks on all existing suppliers and adding steps to our supplier on-boarding procedure(s). These checks were designed to include identifying those in our supply chain that adhered to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 by providing its customers with a statement of compliance in addition to ongoing checks to ensure compliance with data privacy and Critical National Infrastructure legislation and regulation.
We will continue to ensure that our suppliers meet the standards expected of all interested parties. We will continue to complete our internal review of suppliers, ensuring ongoing compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and any legislation changed by Brexit.
We will ensure any new relationships engaged complete the required due diligence levels we have introduced even in the challenging times placed upon us by the pandemic, meeting the high standards we hold ourselves to.
Any supplier that should adhere to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 but falls short of evidencing the requirements of the Act will be reviewed on a per case basis. Where compliance to the Act cannot be verified through our due diligence checks, and the supplier has advised a statement will not be made available, a new supplier(s) will be identified.
