Modern Slavary Policy

Last Updated: 2025-09-01

Venndata (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with integrity. We oppose all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking and take active steps to ensure these practices have no place in our operations or supply chains.

Our Business

We are a South African-based data consulting company providing outsourced data engineering and analytics services to clients in the UK, and other international markets. Our work involves highly skilled professional services rather than physical supply chains, but we recognise the importance of maintaining vigilance across all business relationships.

Our Commitment

We uphold the principles of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and other relevant legislation. We are committed to ensuring that:

• Modern slavery, forced labor, or human trafficking are not present in our operations or supply chains.
• Our employees, contractors, and partners work in conditions of fairness, dignity, and respect.
• Recruitment and employment practices are transparent, voluntary, and compliant with labor laws.

Supply Chain and Risk Assessment

Our supply chains primarily involve professional services, software providers, cloud platforms, and technology vendors. While the risk of modern slavery is low, we continue to:

• Work only with reputable partners who uphold ethical standards.
• Assess suppliers based on their compliance with labor and human rights obligations.
• Require contracts to include commitments to fair labor practices.

Policies and Due Diligence

We maintain internal policies and procedures that reflect our commitment to ethical conduct, including:

• Employment practices that comply with South African labor laws and international standards.
• Zero tolerance for forced labor, child labor, or exploitative practices.
• Processes for raising concerns confidentially and without retaliation.

Training and Awareness

We provide training and awareness sessions for employees and managers to help them recognise risks of modern slavery and understand their responsibility in maintaining compliance across projects and suppliers.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continually strengthening our approach by:

• Reviewing and updating this statement annually.
• Expanding supplier due diligence where relevant.
• Aligning with best practices in ethical sourcing and labor standards.
