Modern slavery is a crime in all forms, and we will not tolerate any such activities within our operations or supply chain.

Mastek UK and our Supply Chain
Mastek UK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mastek Limited, a publicly listed company registered in India. Mastek UK’s business provides enterprise software services, and the main business asset is human resources. In order to provide itsservices, Mastek UK often calls upon the skilled human resources of its parent company under a service agreement arrangement. These skilled resources may travel to the UK on work permits and provide services from Mastek’s development centersin India. Mastek UK also recruitsstaff fromthe local UK market and other countries.
We seek to partner with suppliers who uphold Mastek’s values and ethics, providing safe working conditions,treating workers with dignity and respect, acting fairly and ethically, and using environmentally responsible practices where practicable. Mastek UK procures goods and services from the local UK market and assesses the suitability of suppliers by conducting relevant due diligence checks. We also ensure we have suitable terms and conditions of supply with all our preferred and other suppliers.
Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risks, we have in place a corporate risk assessment and reporting process to:
-
Identify and assess potential risk areas in our business and supply chains.
-
Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
-
Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
-
Protect whistle-blowers from any retaliation, which may include dismissal, suspension, demotion, loss of promotion opportunities, punitive transfers and reductions in or deductions of wages, harassment or other punitive or discriminatory treatment.
Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or any part of our business. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy specifying modern day slavery and our Whistleblowing Policy each reflect our commitment to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.
These policies apply to both Mastek UK and Mastek Limited and are available to all employees via our intranet site. Relevant functional heads manage the policies and reporting processessupport the escalation of policy issues to senior management.
Assessment of Slavery and potential Human Trafficking Risksin the business areas of Mastek UK
The majority of Mastek UK’s assets and operations are people-related and fall into two categories:
-
Mastek UK’s employees, and
-
Agency or contract staff, the numbers of which fluctuate depending on demand.
Management and staff can report risks through our corporate risk assessment and reporting process. Our other business activities are minor by comparison and include procuring property leases, third-party software, computer hardware and office equipment and services. It is our view that the risks of slavery and human trafficking in these supply chains are low.
Supplier adherence to our values and ethics
We have zero tolerance for slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in Mastek UK and our supply chain and contractors comply with our values and ethics, we have a compliance team, which works alongside legal, human resources, procurement and other functions to comply with this statement.
