Modern Slavery Statement

Organisation

This statement applies to Ticketer (referred to in this statement as ‘the Organisation’). The information included in the statement refers to the financial year 2021.

Organisational structure

Corvia Limited t/a Ticketer has offices in the UK based in Hungerford and London.

Ticketer’s business is centered around the manufacturer and supply of Electronic Ticketing machines and software.

The labour supplied to the Organisation in pursuance of its operation is carried out in the UK and China.

Definitions

The Organisation considers that modern slavery encompasses:

• human trafficking
• forced work, through mental or physical threat
• being owned or controlled by an employer through mental or physical abuse of the threat of
  abuse
• being dehumanised, treated as a commodity or being bought or sold as property
• being physically constrained or to have restriction placed on freedom of movement.

Commitment

The Organisation acknowledges its responsibilities in relation to tackling modern slavery and commits to complying with the provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Organisation understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and, additionally, its supply chains.

The Organisation does not enter into business with any other organisation, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

No labour provided to the Organisation in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. The Organisation strictly adheres to the minimum standards required in relation to its responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in those countries to which it operates or sources product from.

Supply chains

In order to fulfil its activities, the main supply chains of the Organisation include those related to the manufacture of electronic sub-assemblies, plastic mouldings and sheet metal products. We understand that the Organisation’s first-tier suppliers are intermediary traders and therefore have further contractual relationships with lower-tier suppliers, who are bound by the same guidelines.

Potential exposure

The Organisation considers its main exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking to exist in our Chinese supply chains because they involve the provision of labour in a country where protection against breaches of human rights may be limited.

In general, the Organisation considers its exposure to slavery/human trafficking to be relatively limited as it has taken steps to ensure that such practices do not take place in its business nor the business of any organisation that supplies goods and/or services to it.

Steps

The Organisation carries out due diligence processes in relation to ensuring slavery and/or human trafficking does not take place in its organisation or supply chains, including conducting a review of the controls of its suppliers.

The Organisation has not, to its knowledge, conducted any business with another organisation which has been found to have involved itself with modern slavery.

This statement is made in pursuance of Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will be reviewed for each financial year.
