OUR POLICIES ON SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING 

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. Our Anti-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 business and in our supply chains. 

DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES FOR SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

As part of our initiative to identify risk and mitigate against such risks we nominate senior representations of the business units and functions, who in turn report to the Security Council. We have in place systems across our business; our trading partners; and our supply chains to:-

• Identify inappropriate employment practices.

• Identify and assess other potential risk areas. 

• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring. 

• Monitor potential risk areas. 

• Protect whistle-blowers. 

  
  

SUPPLIER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES AND ETHICS 

We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values we operate in line with principles of responsible sourcing, including paying employees at the prevailing minimum wage applicable within their relevant county of operations. We have in place a supply chain compliance programme that is maintained by the relevant account manager or relevant management. This consists of client reviews; audit; and self-certification declarations. 

TRAINING 

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business, in our supply chains and in our business partners, we provide relevant training to our staff. This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Group's slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31^st December 2023 and was approved by the Board of Directors of Paytia Limited on 27th June 2022.
