Modern Slavery Statement

1. Organization Structure & Supply Chain

FORESTER CREDO LIMITED Limited is a UK-based provider of Managed Cloud Infrastructure and IT Consulting services. While our direct workforce consists of skilled professionals (low risk), we recognize that the IT hardware supply chain carries inherent risks.

2. Our Policies

We operate the following policies that describe our approach to the identification of modern slavery risks and steps to be taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our operations:

• Whistleblowing Policy: We encourage all employees, customers, and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities, or the supply chains of, the organization.
• Supplier Code of Conduct: We are committed to ensuring that our suppliers adhere to the highest standards of ethics. Suppliers are required to demonstrate that they provide safe working conditions and treat workers with dignity and respect.
• Recruitment Policy: We use only specified, reputable employment agencies to source labor and always verify the practices of any new agency we use.

3. Due Diligence Processes

We undertake due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers, and regularly review our existing suppliers. Our due diligence and reviews include:

4. Risk Assessment

We consider the greatest risk of slavery and human trafficking to be in our upstream hardware supply chain, particularly regarding the extraction of raw minerals (e.g., cobalt, gold) used in server components.

To mitigate this, we prioritize hardware vendors who are members of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA).

5. 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 provide training to our relevant members of staff. All Directors have been briefed on the subject.
