Modern Slavery Statement

1. Company Structure and Supply Chains

Ore Technologies is a UK-registered digital transformation, IT consulting and technology solutions provider. Our operations include consulting services, SaaS-based technology solutions, cloud support, IoT development, and procurement of IT-related products from third-party suppliers and manufacturers.

Our supply chain includes:

• UK-based software development and digital transformation partners

• Hardware, technology and cloud infrastructure providers

• Professional services providers and subcontractors

• Print-on-demand and e-commerce fulfilment partners

• International component and technology supply chain partners

We work primarily with reputable UK and global suppliers and established technology partners.

2. Our Policies Relating to Modern Slavery

We maintain an internal policy suite that directly supports our anti-slavery commitments:

• Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy

• Supplier Code of Conduct

• Worker Welfare & Fair Labour Standards Policy

• Anti-Bribery & Ethical Procurement Policy

• Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Policy

• Recruitment & Vetting Policy

• Health & Safety Policy

• Whistleblowing Policy

All policies form binding conditions for employees, associate consultants, and suppliers.

3. Due Diligence in Our Supply Chain

We conduct structured due-diligence checks for all suppliers including:

• Supplier vetting and onboarding questionnaires

• Country-of-origin screening for higher-risk jurisdictions

• Assessment of human-rights, labour, ESG and recruitment practices

• Verification of certifications where applicable (ISO, SA8000, Cyber Essentials, etc.)

• Periodic review of suppliers’ own modern slavery statements

Suppliers that fail to meet our required standards will not be approved.

4. Risk Assessment and Areas of Higher Risk

We recognise areas where modern slavery risks may be elevated, such as:

• Hardware production and technology manufacturing

• Overseas suppliers or subcontractors

• Transport, logistics or fulfilment operations

• Software development teams hired via third parties

Our mitigation actions include:

• Vetting supply-chain tiers beyond Tier 1

• Reviewing labour practices and recruitment models

• Avoiding suppliers that use forced, bonded or indentured labour

• Preference for UK-based suppliers or those adhering to international labour standards

If risk is identified, we will conduct immediate investigation and corrective action.

5. Preventing Exploitation, Worker Abuse and Forced Labour

We enforce the following principles across all suppliers and contractors:

• No forced labour or coercion

• No withholding of identity documents

• No recruitment fees charged to workers

• No restriction of movement

• No discrimination, violence, threats, or intimidation

• Freedom of association and right to terminate employment

• Fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours

Suppliers must comply with UK labour laws, ILO conventions, and ethical employment standards.

6. Remedial Actions & Reporting

If we discover a breach or credible suspicion of slavery or trafficking:

• The supplier contract may be suspended or terminated

• Workers must be protected with remediation and safeguarding measures

• We will report to appropriate authorities if criminality is suspected

• We document all actions taken and re-audit supply chain relationships

We maintain an anonymous whistleblowing mechanism for concerns.

7. Measuring Effectiveness

We track and review our commitments using KPIs such as:

• % of suppliers agreeing to our Supplier Code of Conduct

• % of staff trained in modern slavery and ethical procurement

• Number of suppliers audited or due-diligenced annually

• Incidents reported and remediation actions taken

• Number of procurement processes involving risk screening

Performance outcomes are shared internally and reviewed annually.

8. Staff Training and Awareness

We raise awareness of modern slavery by:

• Mandatory training for staff and consultants

• Training packages for recruitment and procurement stakeholders

• Guidance on identifying risk and reporting concerns

• Ongoing communication on responsible sourcing

9. Supplier Engagement and Chain of Responsibility

We promote ethical sourcing by:

• Communicating expectations before contracts are signed

• Assessing worker welfare, working hours, and wage practices

• Requiring corrective action where gaps exist

• Collaborating, not penalising suppliers, where appropriate

Suppliers who are unable to meet minimum standards will not be used.

10. Continuous Improvement

We commit to:

• Updating this statement annually

• Expanding supply-chain mapping and audits

• Increasing transparency and traceability

• Strengthening risk controls and reporting mechanisms

• Maintaining alignment with UK Government & international guidance
