Our Business:

The Company provides an online omnichannel advertising platform and related services to the world’s largest brands and media agencies. The employees of the Company are generally skilled and educated workers employed under standard contracts. All employees undergo an interview process before an offer of employment is made. We also obtain references, as appropriate, for prospective employees. 

Our Supply Chains:

In relation to the Company’s supply chain, given the high tech nature of our business described above, the Company’s supply chain is ostensibly for the provision of office and IT equipment to facilitate our work environment (offices), publishers, advertising technology companies and data partners, together with professional services from law firms, accountancy firms and other professional service organisations to help our operations globally. Where our offices are not fully serviced with our Company being responsible for the cleaning and maintenance, we ensure that we work with large reputable organisations to minimise the risk.  

Steps Taken To Prevent Slavery and Human Trafficking:

Blis considers that the risk of slavery or human trafficking occurring in either its own business (given the general level of education of the workforce outlined above) or in its supply chain to be negligible. Blis places obligations on its employees to act in accordance with all applicable laws and, given the assessed level of risk of modern slavery or human trafficking occurring either in its business or in its supply chain. Blis has contractual obligations in place with its supply chain partners containing provisions relating to complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
