Our Business:

The Company provides real-world intelligence 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 in the UK undergo an interview process before an offer of employment is made. We also obtain references from certain prospective employees, as appropriate. 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) and data partners, together with professional services from law firms, accountancy firms and other professional service organisations to help our operations in the UK. We have identified possible risks relating to cleaning services, and the Company therefore only engages large and reputable organisations to supply such cleaning services to the Company. 

 

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.
