Modern Slavery Policy

This statement is made by Audeliss Inc, Audeliss Ltd, INvolve People Ltd, The Black British Business Awards, and The Network of Networks (collectively the “Company”) in accordance with Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) It covers the actions and activities for the financial year ending 31st March 2026. The Company is committed to a robust approach to preventing slavery and human trafficking within its corporate activities and ensuring its supply chains remain free from such practices.

The Company is a group of professional services companies operating under a parent company (We Us Ours Limited).

• Business Activities: Our principal services involve the placement of diverse talent onto Boards and into senior roles across various industry sectors, as well as providing DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) training, consultancy and professional development and recognition services globally.
• Supply Chain: Our procurement activities are categorised into four primary spend areas: (a) Marketing, Advertising and Print; (b) Customer Servicing; (c) Professional Services; and (d) Technology. These categories are managed by teams that coordinate global and local procurement strategies to ensure integrity across the supply chain.

The Company operates under a Code of Conduct that sets the highest ethical standards. This policy requires all employees to report any suspicion of non-compliant or unethical behaviour, specifically including breaches of the Act, whether by the Company or its business partners. Our organisational values guide how we carry out our business and interact with our people and communities, ensuring all relationships are based on trust and integrity.

To mitigate risk, the Company maintains the following due diligence protocols:

• Internal Workforce: We carry out checks on all new employees and candidates to ensure they have the right to work in the country in which they are based.
• Supplier Management: The Company utilises an Approved Supplier List (ASL). To achieve ASL status, a supplier must have a valid contract and undergo a risk assessment process. This includes, where applicable, verification that the supplier has an adequate code of conduct, background check procedures, compliance policies, and all required business licences.

Although we have evaluated the risk of modern slavery occurring within our professional services supply chain as low, we take specific steps to manage potential risks:

• Contractual Requirements: When contracting with a supplier, we stipulate that they must comply with all applicable laws and carry out appropriate background checks.
• Sub-contracting Controls: To ensure visibility, sub-contracting is generally prohibited without the express consent of the Company.

To measure the effectiveness of our efforts in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place, the Company monitors performance indicators as suggested by the compliance guidelines. These include:

• Training Compliance: Achieving a 100% completion rate for mandatory annual modern slavery training for all staff.
• Supplier Vetting: Ensuring all active suppliers are maintained on the Approved Supplier List (ASL) and have passed the required risk assessment.
• Reporting Levels: Monitoring internal reporting channels for any concerns raised regarding unethical practices or breaches of the Act.

The Company maintains a robust approach to education. All employees are required to complete adequate training regarding modern slavery on an annual basis. To ensure high engagement and compliance, failure to complete this training constitutes a disciplinary offence.

This statement covers all organisations within the group and clearly names the parent and subsidiary organisations. It shall be published on the UK websites of all organisations covered by the statement.
