Introduction

Tiger Communications delivers business intelligence, call management information, and collaboration analytics to corporates, public sector organisations and SME’s.

As a software provider our supply chains are not extensive, but we recognise that all companies need to demonstrate awareness and responsibility regarding this global problem.

Our business activity is primarily as a supplier of software and Saas products to public and private sector business around the world. We have three main business units, comprising: Development, Sales, and Service teams.

Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Tiger is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Modern Slavery can take various forms, including slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. Tiger Communications has a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all of its business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere within either its own business or in any of its supply chains.

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.

Tiger Communications also expects the same high standards from all of its suppliers, contractors and other business partners and, as part of its contracting processes, it includes specific prohibitions against the use of modern slavery and expects that its suppliers will in turn hold their own suppliers to the same standards.

Breaches of this policy will be treated seriously, employees will face disciplinary action for misconduct or gross misconduct, either of which can lead to dismissal.

Tiger has always operated with a friendly, family style atmosphere. All levels of management, up to and including the CEO, have an open-door policy for all staff to bring problems and grievances if necessary. However, we understand that there can be a level of discomfort in reporting these matters, so also have an anonymous whistleblowing channel, covered in both induction and annual training for all staff.

Risks

Due to the nature of our business Tiger Communications assess ourselves at low risk of modern slavery in our business, we employ under 50 staff, our supply chains are limited, but include suppliers for office hardware and consumables, secure hardware disposal, data centre operation and cleaning services. Contracts will include an Ethical policy, prohibiting exploitation of children or adults by any form of Modern Slavery. Any failure to agree to or meet this will result in breach of contract and may result in termination of the agreement altogether.

Effectiveness

We recognise that simply advising staff of a policy is not enough and encourage vigilance to identify any issues that they may encounter either within the business or when dealing with supply chains and partners.

Our staff training schedule includes all elements of our ethics and sustainability policies, confirming comprehension of them.

Policies available to all staff include:

• Company Ethics Handbook (Includes: Equal Opportunities Policy, Whistleblowing Policy, Anti-bullying & Anti-harassment Policy, Anti-Slavery & Anti-human trafficking Policy)
• Staff Handbook (Includes: Disciplinary Procedure)
• Labour & Human Rights Policy
• Suppliers Sustainability Policy
• Ethics Policy

The channels that staff can use to raise concerns about any issues are included in the policies.

This statement was approved by the Board of Directors in January 2025.
