Our Policies and Principles

Kainos does not tolerate slavery or human trafficking within its business operations and takes a risk-based approach regarding its supply chains. Kainos supports the enactment and enforcement of human trafficking laws that recognise and protect victims while holding traffickers accountable. Kainos operates a whistleblowing policy which encourages staff to report any wrongdoing, this extends to human rights violations, like Modern Slavery.

Our Suppliers

Kainos has business relationships with software vendors and distributors based predominately within Europe and the USA. The software business sector is not considered one most ‘at risk’ and no Kainos subsidiary company has intricate supply chains (or partnerships) with businesses based in impoverished regions of the world, where labour laws are non-existent or are not enforced.

In the past year Kainos has conducted a supplier due diligence exercise to audit ourexisting suppliers.

Our Staff

Kainos employees have the necessary documentation to legally work in the UK (or the country in which they are employed) and no-one under the legal minimum age for admission to work is employed by Kainos.

Training and Awareness

Kainos is rolling out a fresh e-learning training course to all employees, which covers:

• Increasing awareness as to the various forms of modern slavery in which people can be held and exploited;
• How employees can identify the signs of slavery and human slavery;
• How employees should respond if they suspect slavery or human trafficking;
• A formal attestation from employees that they will abide by Kainos’ modern slavery prevention policies.

Our Commitment

Kainos does not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking. We understand that Modern Slavery risk is not static, we actively monitor our supply chains and undertake selective due diligence, we will immediately implement risk mitigation and remedial measures should the situation change.
