Modern Slavery Statement
Effective Date: 01/04/2025
This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps taken by Bootstrap Group Ltd (āwe,ā āour,ā or āusā) to ensure that slavery, human trafficking, and forced or compulsory labor are not taking place in any part of our business or supply chain. This statement is made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our Commitment
At Bootstrap Group Ltd, we are committed to conducting business with integrity and fairness, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labor. We are committed to ensuring that all our operations and those within our supply chain are free from exploitation, abuse, and unethical practices.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Bootstrap Group Ltd is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider based in the UK, and we operate primarily online. We do not have full-time employees but instead work with freelancers and third-party providers to deliver our services to customers. These third parties may include service providers, contractors, and consultants who support our operations, including those involved in technology development, marketing, customer support, and other key business functions.
While we do not have direct control over the operations of third parties, we select our partners based on their commitment to ethical business practices, including compliance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Steps We Take to Address Modern Slavery
- Due Diligence and Risk Assessment
We conduct risk assessments of our third-party suppliers and partners to ensure they operate in a manner consistent with our commitment to human rights. This includes assessing their policies, practices, and working conditions to identify potential risks related to modern slavery. - Code of Conduct
We require all third-party contractors, freelancers, and service providers to adhere to ethical business practices, including compliance with all applicable laws regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labor. Our contracts with these partners include clauses obligating them to uphold the highest standards of ethics and compliance. - Freelancer and Supplier Selection
When selecting freelancers and third-party suppliers, we ensure that they have appropriate policies and practices in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in their operations. We seek assurances from our third parties that they comply with all applicable labor laws, including those relating to forced labor and human trafficking. - Ongoing Monitoring and Accountability
We monitor the practices of our freelancers and third-party suppliers through regular reviews and performance checks. We will take corrective actions where necessary to address any concerns regarding unethical practices or non-compliance with modern slavery laws. - Training and Awareness
We ensure that our key stakeholders, including any freelancers and contractors working with us, are made aware of modern slavery risks and our companyās commitment to ethical practices. We encourage open communication and provide resources for individuals to report concerns without fear of retaliation.
Our Future Plans
We will continue to improve our practices and policies to ensure that modern slavery is not present in our business or supply chain. We are committed to implementing further due diligence measures and providing ongoing training to all stakeholders involved with Bootstrap Group Ltd. Additionally, we will review and update this statement annually to reflect any changes in our business operations and supply chain.
