Modern Slavery Statement

1. Introduction

BI22 I.T Consultancy Ltd is below the £36m turnover threshold in section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and is therefore not required to publish a statement. This statement is made voluntarily by BI22 I.T Consultancy Ltd (trading as CongruityDocs) ("we", "us"). Although we are not required to publish a statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we are committed to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking in our business and supply chains, and we publish this statement to demonstrate that commitment.

2. Our business and structure

We are a UK micro-business providing IT and business-analysis consultancy and document services, operating the CongruityDocs client portal. The business is directed by its sole director and engages a small number of associates and contractors, all based in the UK.

3. Our supply chains

Our supply chain is short and low-risk, consisting principally of:

• Cloud software and infrastructure providers (hosting, authentication, storage, payments, email and document processing) based in the UK, EU and US, all of which are established companies with their own published modern slavery or human-rights commitments;
• Professional services (accountancy, legal, insurance);
• Standard office equipment and consumables.

4. Risk assessment

We assess our exposure to modern slavery as low. We do not operate in, or source labour from, high-risk sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture or construction, and we do not use recruitment agencies for low-paid labour.

5. Our policies and commitments

• We pay all staff and contractors at or above applicable legal minimums and engage them under written terms.
• We will not knowingly engage suppliers who use forced, bonded or child labour.
• Concerns about slavery or trafficking in our business or supply chain can be raised confidentially to the director at Privacy@congruitydocs.co.uk and will be investigated.
• Where a supplier is found to be non-compliant, we will require remediation or terminate the relationship.

6. Due diligence and training

When onboarding material new suppliers we consider their published policies, jurisdiction and sector risk. Given the size of the business, awareness is maintained by the director, who reviews this statement annually.

7. Approval

This statement was approved by the director of BI22 I.T Consultancy Ltd.
