Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Trusted Tech Team Limited (trading as "TrustedTech")

Financial year ended 31 December 2025

Introduction

This statement is published by Trusted Tech Team Limited (company number 14762212), a company registered in England and Wales with its registered office at 3 New Street Square, London EC4A 3BF ("TrustedTech", "we", "us" or "our").

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps TrustedTech has taken during the financial year ended 31 December 2025 to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or our supply chains.

TrustedTech has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in all its forms — including forced, bonded, compulsory or child labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and the withholding of identity documents or wages. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to guard against modern slavery in our own operations and in those of our suppliers and partners.

Our organisation, business and supply chains

TrustedTech is a technology solutions provider and Microsoft Solutions Partner serving business and public sector customers in the United Kingdom. Our business consists principally of:

Software licensing — the resale of Microsoft perpetual and subscription licences, including Windows Server, SQL Server, Microsoft Office, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, sourced through Microsoft and its authorised distribution channels;
Cloud and security solutions — including email security, endpoint protection, backup and retention, managed detection and response, and security awareness training, delivered in partnership with established software vendors; and
Professional and support services — proactive and reactive Microsoft support, migrations, environment optimisation, Intune deployment and modern work implementations, delivered by our own certified technical personnel and, where required, by vetted subcontractors.

We are part of the wider Trusted Tech Team group. TrustedTech is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trusted Tech Team, LLC, a Delaware corporation headquartered in Irvine, California. This statement is made on behalf of Trusted Tech Team Limited and the following group entities: Trusted Tech Team, LLC and TrustedTech FZCO, a DMCC registered FZCO.

As at the date of this statement we employ 27 people in the United Kingdom, all of whom are directly engaged on contracts of employment and paid at or above the National Living Wage or Real Living Wage, as applicable.

Because our core products are digitally delivered software licences and services rather than manufactured physical goods, our supply chain is comparatively short and concentrated. Our principal supplier relationships fall into the following categories:

Category	Examples
Software vendors and authorised distributors	Microsoft and its licensed distribution partners; third-party security and backup software vendors
Cloud infrastructure and hosting	Hyperscale cloud and data-centre providers
Professional and technical services	Subcontracted engineers, consultants, and managed service partners
Corporate and business services	Payment processors, e-commerce platforms, accountants, legal advisers, marketing and lead-generation agencies, recruitment agencies
Facilities and indirect procurement	Serviced office providers, cleaning, security and catering services, IT hardware and peripherals, courier and logistics, branded merchandise and event supplies

Our assessment of modern slavery risk

We consider the risk of modern slavery occurring within our own workforce to be low. Our UK employees are directly recruited, hold written contracts, are paid through payroll into personal bank accounts, and have their right to work verified before employment begins.

We recognise, however, that a low risk is not a zero risk, and that risk is not evenly distributed across our supply chain. Applying a risk-based approach that considers sector, geography, workforce vulnerability and transaction type, we have identified the following areas as carrying comparatively higher inherent risk:

Electronic hardware and peripherals — the extraction of raw materials and the assembly of IT hardware are well-documented as sectors carrying forced and child labour risk, particularly in parts of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. These risks sit in the lower tiers of our supply chain, beyond our direct suppliers.
Facilities and outsourced services — cleaning, security, catering and building maintenance services frequently rely on low-paid, migrant or agency labour and are recognised as a higher-risk category in the UK domestic context.
Data centre construction and operations — the construction sector, on which our cloud partners indirectly rely, is a recognised higher-risk sector for labour exploitation.
Agency, temporary and subcontracted labour — the use of intermediaries can reduce visibility of terms and conditions and increase the risk of unlawful recruitment fees or debt bondage.
Promotional merchandise, apparel and event supplies — typically manufactured in higher-risk jurisdictions with limited transparency below the first tier.

Our large software vendors and hyperscale cloud providers publish their own modern slavery statements and human rights disclosures. While this provides a measure of assurance, we do not treat a supplier's published statement as a substitute for our own assessment.

Policies

Our approach to modern slavery is supported by the following policies, which apply to all employees, officers, contractors and, where relevant, suppliers:

Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy — setting out our zero-tolerance position, the standards we expect, and the process for raising and escalating concerns.
Supplier Code of Conduct — requiring suppliers to prohibit forced, bonded and child labour; to ensure all work is voluntary and workers are free to leave; to pay at least the legal minimum wage; to prohibit the charging of recruitment fees to workers; to prohibit the retention of identity documents; to respect freedom of association; and to extend equivalent standards to their own suppliers.
Whistleblowing Policy — enabling employees, workers and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation, including concerns about labour exploitation.
Recruitment and Right to Work Policy — requiring identity and right-to-work verification for all hires and the use only of reputable, vetted recruitment agencies.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics — setting the overarching ethical standards expected of everyone working for or on behalf of TrustedTech.

Due diligence

During the reporting period we took the following steps:

Supplier onboarding. New suppliers are subject to due diligence checks proportionate to the value and risk of the relationship. Higher-risk and higher-value suppliers are asked to confirm compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct and, where applicable, to provide their own modern slavery statement.
Contractual protections. We seek to include anti-slavery provisions in new and renewed supplier contracts, requiring compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, prompt notification of any actual or suspected incident, cooperation with reasonable audits or enquiries, and cascading of equivalent obligations down the supply chain.
Channel integrity. We source Microsoft and third-party software through authorised distribution channels, which supports both product authenticity and traceability of the counterparties we transact with.
Direct employment. We employ our UK workforce directly wherever possible and limit reliance on agency and intermediated labour.
Concern reporting. Employees and third parties can raise concerns via email communication to support@trustedtechteam.com. All reports are reviewed by Justin Sharrocks, a director.

We did not identify any actual or suspected instances of modern slavery in our business or supply chains during the reporting period.

Training and awareness

During the reporting period, we intended that all new joiners and HR roles complete training covering the indicators of modern slavery, the sectors and circumstances in which risk arises, and how to escalate a concern, with training to be refreshed annually. However, our training was not completed as planned—although employees are aware of the policy. In succeeding years, we intend to document our efforts in this regard. We also intend to place more clarifying statements in our contracts.

Measuring effectiveness

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach against the following indicators:

The proportion of new and renewed supplier contracts containing anti-slavery provisions;
The proportion of higher-risk suppliers who have confirmed compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct;
The proportion of relevant employees who have completed modern slavery training;
The number of concerns raised through our reporting channels, and the time taken to review and resolve them;
The number of instances of modern slavery identified and the remediation outcomes for affected individuals.

We identified zero instances of concern, although admittedly we rely on parties’ compliance with general legal compliance statements.

Next steps

In the coming financial year we intend to:

Include more specific training for employees; and
Introduce a standard anti-slavery clause into our supplier contract templates.
