Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

This statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking, and why we publish it even though we're not legally required to.

1. Why we publish this statement

Hybytes Ltd is below the £36 million turnover threshold at which Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires a statement. We publish this voluntarily because we consider the commitment important.

Our business is UK-based software and consultancy. Our supply chain consists mainly of cloud, software, and professional service providers, which we assess as lower risk for modern slavery.

2. What we do

We nonetheless:

Expect suppliers to comply with the Modern Slavery Act and our Supplier Code of Conduct
Check employment eligibility and pay all staff at or above applicable minimums
Keep recruitment direct or through reputable agencies
Investigate and act on any concern raised, including through our whistleblowing procedure

3. Our current assessment

We are not currently aware of any modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations or supply chain.

4. Approval and review

This statement is published voluntarily by Hybytes Ltd, kept under annual review, and approved by the company's directors.
