Introduction
We are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. We continue to work with our suppliers to reflect our zero-tolerance stance to use of modern slaves and human trafficking through our supply chain.
Our business and supply chains
Zaltek provides software development services. We operate across the UK.
Our supply chains comprise mainly human resources who perform skilled services or third-party suppliers who provide software development services. However, as a software company, Zaltek does not have an extensive range of suppliers where modern slavery or human trafficking would generally be a material risk, and our supply chains are based in low risk countries where modern forms of slavery are not prevalent.
Our Modern Slavery Policy
We are committed to ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Modern Slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.
Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we will request that all suppliers provide confirmation that they are not involved in modern slavery or human trafficking.
Supplier adherence to our values
We will seek to obtain a statement from suppliers that confirms that they do not participate in slavery and human trafficking and include a compliance clause in our service agreements.
Our Legal and Human Resources teams are involved in ensuring compliance.
Training
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we will provide training to our staff.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement for our financial year ending 30 August 2024. This statement has been approved by Zaltek’s Board of Directors.
