Forced Labour, Modern Slavery and Trafficking Policies
Pivotal BI Limited operates solely in the United Kingdom, and in doing so reduces some elements of risk associated with exploitation of foreign workers. We do not hire, either directly or indirectly, any low-skilled domestic or migrant workers. We also do not engage with recruiters who hire subcontractors who recruit workers.
In all our business activities, all slavery and human trafficking laws must be complied with, including, but not limited to, the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. The following policies are enforced by the directors within Pivotal BI Limited to ensure that risks to any occurrence of Modern Slavery or Trafficking are not present within our workforce or the workforce of our supply chain:
