Ethical position
EUAIC does not tolerate modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour or exploitation in business operations or supply chains.
Supplier expectations
Suppliers and service providers are expected to operate lawfully and responsibly, with appropriate employment practices, worker protections and ethical business conduct.
Procurement awareness
As services and supplier relationships develop, modern slavery and ethical trading considerations should be included where relevant in procurement, onboarding and contract review.
Reporting concerns
Concerns about exploitation, forced labour or unethical supplier conduct should be raised through appropriate communication routes so they can be reviewed.
Statement status
This is a website-level ethical trading statement. It should be reviewed against any formal statutory reporting obligations if company size, turnover, supply chain structure or legal requirements change.
Risk awareness
Technology businesses may still face ethical risks through suppliers, contractors, equipment providers, outsourced support, recruitment routes, facilities services or global cloud and infrastructure supply chains. Risk awareness should form part of responsible procurement.
Supplier conduct
Suppliers should be expected to comply with applicable employment, wage, working time, health and safety, anti-trafficking and anti-exploitation laws. Concerns should be reviewed and escalated where appropriate.
Ongoing maturity
As the business grows, ethical trading controls may need to become more formal, including supplier questionnaires, contractual commitments, staff awareness, risk reviews and escalation procedures.
