Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Sigma Labs is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights, and we have established systems and controls to help us to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.
Our Business Structure
Sigma Labs is a UK-based professional services provider operating in the Recruit, Train and Deploy sector. Sigma Labs' principal business activities involve recruiting, training and deploying our own permanent IT and business consultants with our clients. They work across a range of technical disciplines, including but not limited to Development and Data. Sigma Labs has dedicated training centres and sales operations located in London. Sigma Labs is a proactive and enthusiastic promoter of diversity, social mobility and inclusion.
Our Policy
At Sigma Labs we believe in the importance of equality in the workplace. Being a responsible corporate citizen is not only the right thing to do, it is good for the longterm viability of our business. We are committed to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our business and the supply chain. We believe employment should be chosen. There must be no forced, bonded or involuntary prison labour. Supplier employees must not be required to lodge monies or identity papers in order to work and must be free to leave employment after the giving of reasonable notice.
Our CEO and COO provide constant support to all members of staff and ensures all employees and Trainees are getting the relevant training and development needed in order for them to achieve all they can here at Sigma Labs.
We pride ourselves highly on promoting human rights within the business and ensure all members of staff are happy and content within their working environment. We encourage weekly catch ups and constant suggestions via our company portal on how we can strengthen the ways in which we protect our employees’ rights and company benefits. We hold our suppliers, business partners and all other stakeholders to the same standards that we hold ourselves. We run a safe and ethical business that extends well beyond Sparta Global. Our code of conduct is an overview of the guiding principles and values which govern how we make ethical decisions in conducting our business.
Please see below the following steps we have taken and continue to take in adherence to the Modern Slavery Act.
Supply Chain
Our supply chain is not very complex however we work with a vast range of suppliers that provide services across a number of varied categories that range from cyber security, IT, telecoms, technology sales, data analytics and other services which can be seen on our company website. We keep very respectable relationships with our suppliers which allows us to have a good understanding and visibility of our supply chain.
Due to the strong relationships we have with our suppliers, contractors, trainees and consultants we consider the risk of exploitation, human trafficking and breach of human rights very low. Nonetheless we are committed to ensuring such occurrences do not take place within our business or supply chain due to our procedures and due diligence.
Contracts
Our contracts include a provision for all suppliers to warrant that it has not and will not engage in any activity, practice or conduct which would constitute an offence under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Policies
All Sigma Labs employees have access to channels in which they can communicate concerns, via local reporting mechanisms or internal whistleblowing procedures, which encourage all staff to report any wrong behaviour or breaches of our policies. Sigma Labs is committed to protecting its employees when disclosing malpractice and we take this very seriously. All employees must be provided with a clear contract of employment which complies with local legislation. All contracts are received before employees join Sigma Labs which gives new employees the opportunity to read through all of our company policies and raise any queries prior to starting, which encourages a smooth onboarding process for all parties.
Sigma Labs hold a zero-tolerance policy on Modern Slavery and are committed to the highest level of ethical standards. All employees are under duty to comply and understand this policy. The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery and human trafficking within businesses or any supply chains is the responsibility of those working for Sigma Labs. Employees are encouraged to avoid any behaviour that would suggest a clear breach of this policy
Verification and Risk Assessment
Sigma Labs require a due diligence process of supply chain risk based on international indices, supplier performance and other indicators of suppliers and contractors and have a supporting audit process. Our standard supplier contracts contain Compliance with Laws provisions which oblige the parties to comply with all laws applicable to their activities under the contract.
Audit
Verification of code conformance and assurance through our own supplier audit process including demonstration from our supply chain that they have passed down Sigma Labs’ requirements to their own suppliers and contractors and have supporting audit process.
Internal Training and Review
Sigma Labs ensure that any updates of changes to our code of conduct in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking are fed to all employees and all necessary and/or recommended training takes place. All employees at Sigma Labs are expected to comply with all laws and act in accordance with local guidelines and regulations and act with integrity and honesty.
Following its initial adoption, this Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy will be reviewed by the Company’s Senior Directors and the cross functional team nominated by the business on a regular basis (at least annually) and may be amended from time to time.
The Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement was authored by X. Cai, Chief of Staff at Sigma Labs and was last revised on 25th November 2021.
