What is the Modern Slavery Act 2015?
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) seeks to address the role of businesses in preventing modern slavery from occurring in their organisations and supply chains. It applies to businesses of all sizes, required to publish statements showing the steps they have taken to stop modern slavery and human trafficking.
This statement shows the steps we have and will continue to do as part of our commitment to stop slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
Trading as ‘Compare Your Business Costs’, we are the UK’s leading online comparison website for business costs. We are a private limited company operating in the UK.
We help small to large businesses get three provider quotes for the services or products they require. Our suppliers are businesses that support our core function by offering a wide range of services and products (such as Internet, energy, insurance, phone systems, software and much more).
We believe the nature of our business as an business services affiliate means we are not likely to be open to a high level of risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. However, this risk may not always be obvious, and it remains an important and ongoing risk for all businesses and organisations.
Compare Your Business Costs is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our business relationships and using effective systems and controls are paramount for us to ensure slavery and human trafficking is nowhere in our supply chains and business.
