The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (\u2018UK Act\u2019) signalled a new drive in the international fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. The UK Act requires all UK companies to disclose steps taken to ensure that such loathsome practices are not taking place within the ABC Digital Solutions Limited or in our supply chain. The UK Act itself does not impose any specific requirements other than this disclosure obligation. ABC may adopt such policies and procedures as deemed appropriate to the nature of our business and that of our supply chain partners. In keeping with our own high standards as an organization, we have elected to follow a proactive yet simple, common sense approach:<\/p>

Be aware:<\/b>\u00a0What is modern slavery and human trafficking? Take a moment to read about it here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/modern\u2010slavery\u2010bill<\/a>. Sadly, even today there are unscrupulous people who will take advantage of others who are disadvantaged. Just because a worker seems to have freedom of movement on the job does not mean they are not enslaved in the modern sense; language barriers or fear of abuse may prevent a person from helping themselves escape an abusive situation.<\/p>

Keep alert:<\/b>\u00a0Everyone should keep alert internally and when dealing with suppliers. Many of us will have the opportunity to make observations when visiting a supplier\u2019s premises. More frequently all of us come into contact with service providers such as cleaning services and other contractors who attend our premises.<\/p>

Accept no excuses:<\/b>\u00a0Never look the other way for the sake of convenience or short\u2010term profit considerations. If taking action causes inconvenience or additional expense, do it. You will be rewarded for doing the right thing.<\/p>

Report any concern:<\/b>\u00a0Do not hesitate to report any concern at once to ABC managing director, Steve Burgess or, if you would feel more comfortable, to a senior manager. The company will investigate and recommend action at the local level or involve senior management as appropriate.\u00a0<\/p>

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) Part 6 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes the ABC for the financial year ending December 2018 and applies to all of the ABC Ltd offices and sites.<\/i><\/p>

For and behalf of the ABC board of directors.\u00a0<\/p>

Steve Burgess<\/b><\/p>

Managing Director\u00a0<\/p>
