Financial year ending 2026
Introduction Under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, it is a legal requirement for companies like The Ozone Project to be socially responsible and protect the human rights of workers. Alongside our legal obligations, our core beliefs include a respect for the rule of law, promoting liberty, enterprise, and democracy. This statement sets out the action we have taken aimed at ensuring that our corporate activities and supply chains are free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
Our Business
The Ozone Project is a digital advertising platform. We are a transparent and easy way for advertisers to reach highly attentive audiences at broadcast scale, in brand safe, known environments that are trusted and proven to deliver real business results. We are Head Quartered in the UK and our platform reaches nearly all of the UK’s online adults, through content published by our premium publisher owners and partners. Our supply chains include IT providers, manufacturing partners, professional services firms, logistics providers, etc.
Policies and Processes
We strive to maintain the highest standards of conduct and ethical behaviour from our employees and our suppliers. We have a wide range of policies that make it clear what behaviour is expected of our employees, including our recruitment and selection process and staff code of conduct.
- Whistleblowing: Our whistleblowing policy encourages our employees, customers, business partners and suppliers, to report any concerns, including any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking.
We take our modern slavery obligations very seriously and will continue to monitor compliance on an on-going basis.
Due Diligence Processes
We undertake due diligence when considering new suppliers and regularly review existing suppliers. Our processes may include:
- Supplier onboarding questionnaires
- Risk-based assessments of supply chains
- Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws
- Termination rights for non-compliance
Where risks are identified, we work with suppliers to improve standards or consider alternative arrangements if necessary.
Risk Assessment and Management
We assess modern slavery risks by considering:
- The geographical location of suppliers
- The sector in which suppliers operate
- The nature of the goods or services provided
- Use of temporary or agency labour
We categorise suppliers based on risk and apply enhanced due diligence where appropriate.
Effectiveness and Monitoring
To measure the effectiveness of our actions, we may monitor:
- Completion rates of training
- Supplier compliance confirmations
- Reports raised via whistleblowing channels
- Any incidents identified and resolved
We review our approach annually to ensure continuous improvement.
Training
We provide appropriate training to employees, particularly those involved in procurement, HR, and supply chain management, to ensure they understand:
- The risks of modern slavery
- How to identify warning signs
- How to report concerns
