Modern Slavery Act Policy

1. Introduction

EDGEY is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation.

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps we take to ensure that modern slavery is not present in our business or supply chain.

2. Our Business

EDGEY is a digital marketing agency operating primarily in the United Kingdom and collaborates with a range of suppliers, including software vendors, consultants, freelancers, and technology partners.

Although our business model is low-risk in relation to modern slavery, we remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring ethical practices throughout our supply chain.

3. Our Commitment

We are committed to:

• Acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships
• Implementing effective systems and controls to prevent modern slavery
• Ensuring transparency within our business and supply chains
• Holding our suppliers to the same high standards

4. Supply Chain Standards

Our supply chain primarily includes:

• Marketing platforms and software providers
• Freelancers, contractors, and consultants

We expect all partners and suppliers to abide by the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and demonstrate:

Where appropriate, we may conduct due diligence on suppliers to assess risk, including evaluating:

Any supplier found in breach of this policy may have their contract terminated.

All concerns are investigated promptly and thoroughly.
