Modern Slavery

This statement has been published in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps taken by Dash Dash Limited and Simpatica Development Limited T/A Simpatica for the period 2023-2024 to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its own business operations and supply chains.

Introduction

Simpatica is committed to protecting and respecting human rights and has a zero tolerance approach towards modern slavery. We are committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains or any part of our business. We do not enter into business with any organisation which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude or forced or compulsory labour.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are therefore committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our people. Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK.

Focus Areas

As an SME, we have the luxury of knowing many of suppliers and contractors personally. We are committed  to asking new contractors and clients for their Modern Day Slavery policies prior to doing business with a new entity.

Business and Operational Structure

We are a software development business based in the United Kingdom. We exclusively operate in the United Kingdom, European Union and the United States of America. We comply with all relevant local laws – and the laws of England and Wales where we are registered as a business.

Our clients include businesses such as fashion retailing. We are aware that our clients may manufacture their items in countries such as China and India – as well as domestically – which we keep in mind when performing due diligence.

Governance Structure

Our Board and Investors oversee our policy regarding Modern Day Slavery.

Due Diligence

We encourage every member of the Simpatica team to be open with our Board about any experiences, conversations (verbal or written) and situations with clients or suppliers that may be a flag for Modern Day Slavery. We periodically circulate UK Government resources regarding Modern Day Slavery alongside the statutory guidance [ https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/modern-slavery-how-to-identify-and-support-victims. ]
