Modern Slavery Statement
The steps we take to keep slavery and human trafficking out of our business and our supply chains, and how we check that the steps are working.
Section 01About This Statement
1.1This statement sets out the steps OJE Technology Limited has taken during the financial year ending 31 March 2026 to make sure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or our supply chains. It is published in line with the principles of section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
1.2Modern slavery covers slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. All of it involves one person depriving another of their liberty in order to profit from their labour. We regard any of it as unacceptable, in our own business and in the businesses we buy from.
1.3This statement covers OJE Technology Limited and all of the services we provide. We review and republish it every year.
Section 02Our Structure and Business
2.1OJE Technology Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales, company number 09943955.
2.2We provide digital marketing, software development and technology consultancy. We also build and run our own software products. Our clients range from small not for profit organisations to companies listed on the FTSE.
2.3We work from offices in Newcastle, Gloucester and the Cotswolds in the United Kingdom, and in Victoria, Australia. Our workforce is made up of permanent employees and a small number of long standing associates, all of whom are engaged directly by us rather than through agencies or labour providers.
Section 03Our Supply Chains
3.1Our supply chain is short and largely made up of services rather than goods. It consists mainly of cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, software licences and subscriptions, professional services such as accountancy and legal advice, and a small amount of office equipment and facilities.
3.2The great majority of our suppliers are established businesses based in the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States and Australia, operating in sectors that are not considered high risk for modern slavery.
3.3We recognise that the risk is not zero. Hardware manufacturing and the construction and servicing of data centres both sit further down our supply chain, and both are sectors where modern slavery has been found. We take that into account when we choose the providers we build on.
Section 04Our Policies
4.1We are committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy sets out that commitment and the controls that support it.
4.2We pay all of our people at or above the relevant statutory minimum, we do not use unpaid work or unpaid trials, and we check the right to work of everyone we engage.
4.3Anyone working for us or with us can raise a concern about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be raised with any director and will be treated confidentially. We protect whistleblowers and we would rather hear a concern that turns out to be unfounded than not hear one at all.
Section 05Due Diligence
5.1We are not in an industry with a high risk of modern slavery, so we take a risk based approach and concentrate our effort on the parts of our supply chain that fall within higher risk sectors and countries.
5.2We have systems in place to:
- aidentify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains;
- breduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains;
- cmonitor those risk areas on an ongoing basis; and
- dprotect anyone who raises a concern.
5.3Because we buy mainly from large established technology providers, a significant part of our due diligence is reading what those providers publish about their own supply chains and holding them to it.
Section 06Supplier Adherence to Our Values
6.1We have zero tolerance of slavery and human trafficking. We may end our relationship with any individual or supplier working on our behalf who breaches our Anti Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy.
6.2We carry out appropriate due diligence when we engage and work with suppliers, keeping the depth of that work proportionate to the services being provided and the risk involved. A one person design contractor and a global infrastructure provider do not warrant the same level of scrutiny, and we do not pretend otherwise.
6.3Where a supplier is required to publish its own modern slavery statement, we expect to be able to find it.
Section 07Training
7.1We provide training to our staff and associates so they understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and our supply chains, and know how to raise a concern.
7.2Anyone involved in selecting or managing suppliers receives additional guidance on what to look for and when to escalate.
Section 08Measuring Effectiveness
8.1A statement is only worth publishing if we can tell whether the steps in it are working. We look at:
- awhether every member of staff and associate has completed the training;
- bthe proportion of our higher risk suppliers that have been reviewed;
- cthe number of concerns raised, and what happened to each of them; and
- dwhether our policy has been reviewed within the last twelve months.
8.2No concerns relating to modern slavery were raised with us during the period covered by this statement.
Section 09Looking Ahead
9.1We will review our Anti Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy every year and make sure sufficient steps are being taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains.
