Modern Slavery Statement

Financial year ending December 2024

Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps Confyd has taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our business or supply chains.

Confyd is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity. We have zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour.

Our Business

Confyd is a technical consultancy based in London, providing due diligence, advisory, and fractional CTO services to CEOs and founders. We are a small, service-based business with no physical product manufacturing or complex supply chains.

Our services are delivered directly by our founder and, where required, vetted independent contractors who are engaged on fair, transparent terms.

Our Supply Chains

As a professional services consultancy, our supply chain is limited and consists primarily of:

  • Software and technology services (cloud hosting, productivity tools)
  • Professional services (accounting, legal)
  • Office supplies and equipment from established UK suppliers

We procure services from reputable, established providers who are expected to maintain their own ethical standards and comply with applicable laws.

Our Policies

We are committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our business. Our approach includes:

  • Paying fair rates to all contractors and suppliers
  • Engaging only with reputable service providers
  • Maintaining awareness of modern slavery risks in our industry
  • Encouraging the reporting of any concerns

Risk Assessment

Given the nature of our business as a professional services consultancy with a simple supply chain, we assess our risk of exposure to modern slavery as low. However, we remain vigilant and committed to taking appropriate action should any concerns arise.

Approval

This statement has been approved by the director of Confyd and will be reviewed and updated annually.
