Our Supply Chain

As an enterprise software provider, we have a limited supply chain and the majority of our suppliers provide us with technology-related services. Based on the nature of our business, workforce, and the services we provide, we consider ourselves to have a minimal risk of being involved in human trafficking, modern slavery or forced labour.

• Ensures that our HR departments across the globe promote safe and fair working conditions, high ethical standards, and responsibly manage social issues.

• Requires all employees to acknowledge that they have received, read and understood these policies and that they agree to comply with them. Further confirmation is required for any policy updates that are made.
