Accuris and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “Accuris”) is committed to ensuring that we – and our suppliers – operate in compliance with all applicable laws as well as in accordance with the highest standards of ethical behavior, as outlined in the Accuris Business Code of Conduct. Accuris supports and respects the protection of internationally recognized human rights and endeavors to make sure that we are not complicit in human rights abuses. Accordingly, we do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in our organization or supply chain.

Our Business

Accuris is the leading aggregator and “one-stop-shop” for mission critical data and information pertaining to standards and other engineering content. Accuris solves strategic problems for engineering clients with integrated software and workflows. Accuris has more than 6,000 business and government customers.

Organizational Structure

Our Supply Chain

Accuris’s supply chain largely consists of professional services providers such as standards development organizations, contractors, software services, and other data and content providers. Accuris also uses suppliers of IT, office equipment, facilities management, print production and publication distribution services.
Given the nature of Accuris’s business, we believe there is minimal risk of practices that support, facilitate or are complicit with modern slavery, within either Accuris or our supply chain. Nevertheless, we require that all vendors with whom we have a master services agreement agree to perform at the highest level of business and professional ethics, and to ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws, including but not limited to the US Federal Acquisition Regulation Rule on Combating Trafficking in Persons and the UK Modern Slavery Act. We have also embedded these expectations in our purchase order forms and new vendor onboarding forms.

Accuris Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

Accuris’s zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking is confirmed in many of our corporate policies and procedures, including our Business Code of Conduct, our Third Party/Vendor Code of Conduct and our Human Rights and Labor Practices policy. These documents articulate our commitment to respecting and promoting fundamental human rights, which we view as a key component of responsible corporate citizenship. In addition to supporting the fundamental principles contained in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are committed to working with suppliers to help uphold ethical human rights standards.

Due Diligence and Further Steps

Accuris has determined that the majority of its suppliers operate in areas considered to be at a low risk of supporting or being complicit in forced labor or human
trafficking. Accuris has implemented procedures to assess the risk of new vendors at onboarding and we require suppliers to affirm their commitment to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking.

We will undertake in the next financial year to:
• Ensure clear and effective communication with new and existing vendors regarding our commitment to compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and our zero-tolerance approach towards forced labor;
• Continue risk assessments of and, as necessary, additional engagement with suppliers; and
• Continue to promote an environment that encourages reporting concerns and protects whistleblowers.

Training

To maintain awareness and ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business, all employees have been made aware of this statement and reminders will be issued on an annual basis.
