Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment

CloudMatters has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery within its business and supply chains. This policy applies to all persons:

• Working for CloudMatters, in any capacity, including employees at all levels
• Working on our behalf as officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners

Our Supply Chains

We expect the same high standards from our contractors, suppliers and other business partners. As part of our standard contracting procedures, we include specific statements against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children.

We expect that our suppliers and partners will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

Our Policies

We operate a number of internal policies to ensure we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:

• Recruitment policy - We operate a robust recruitment process, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will
• Whistleblowing policy - We encourage all employees, customers and business partners to report any concerns related to our business activities. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking
• Supplier code of conduct - We expect all suppliers to comply with our code of conduct, which includes provisions relating to modern slavery

Responsibility

The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chains is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. Employees are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.

Compliance

If employees are found to be in breach of this policy it could lead to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal for gross misconduct.

We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.

Due Diligence

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we:

• Evaluate potential suppliers before they enter our supply chain
• Review our existing supply chains periodically
• Conduct regular audits of our suppliers
• Include modern slavery clauses in our contracts

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 relevant members of staff. All directors have been briefed on the subject.
