Modern Slavery Policy – Connective3

Introduction

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out Connective3’s commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains, and the steps we have in place to help ensure these practices do not occur. We all have a duty to remain alert to risks, however small. Staff are expected to report concerns, and management will act on them.

Organisational structure and supply chains

Connective3 Ltd (Company number 12039819), registered address: 21 Queen Street, Leeds, LS1 2TW.

Connective3’s organisational structure is overseen by a Board of Directors. Our head office is in Leeds, with UK offices in Manchester and London.

We provide performance marketing solutions to other businesses via telephone, email, virtual, and face-to-face consultancy. Our services also include AI‑enabled marketing tools.

Our supply chain is primarily service based, focused on professional services, with limited physical goods.

Geographical presence

We are a UK-based company. We support some clients in their international locations but do not operate a physical presence in those jurisdictions. Client locations currently include Australia, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the USA.

Commitment and standards

Connective3 acknowledges its responsibilities under the UK Modern Slavery Act and is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and across our supply chains.

We recognise this requires ongoing reviews of our internal practices and supplier due diligence.

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We will not enter into, and will discontinue, business with any organisation that we believe intentionally or carelessly supports or is involved in modern slavery.

No work provided to Connective3 in the delivery of our services is obtained through slavery. We comply with applicable employment legislation.

Connective3 offers employment contracts on a guaranteed‑hours basis and does not use zero‑hours contracts.

Part‑time and fixed‑term employees receive pro‑rata entitlements comparable to full‑time members of staff.

We offer fair remuneration and a range of benefits to our people.

We run annual engagement surveys to enable employees to provide feedback to the business.

Risk assessment

We assess Connective3’s exposure to modern slavery risk as low, but we take active steps to prevent it in our business and across our supplier base.

With a predominantly professional services supply chain, the risk is low; nevertheless, we acknowledge potential risks in service-led models and conduct proportionate due diligence.

Responsibility

Our Group People and HR Director is responsible for creating and reviewing policies, referencing best practice and adapting policies as needed to support Connective3.

Our Chief Operating Officer is also responsible for due diligence in relation to known or suspected instances of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Policies

Connective3 is committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chains. This Statement affirms our intention to act ethically in our business relationships.

Whistleblowing, we have a dedicated policy in our Employee Handbook to support concerns being raised.

The Connective3 Employee Handbook and our Performance Empowerment Framework (Sep 2025) set out the actions and behaviours expected of employees when representing Connective3.

Our CSR policy, as set out in the  Employee Handbook, summarises how we manage environmental impacts and work responsibly.

Measure of effectiveness

We aim to ensure prompt, effective action in response to any reports of modern slavery in our supply chains. Any complaints raised via the Whistleblowing policy will be managed in accordance with the documented process.

This Statement will be reviewed regularly and updated as necessary. The Board of Directors endorses this Statement and is committed to its implementation.
