Xanalys recognises that slavery and human trafficking is a real yet hidden issue in our society and we are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. Xanalys will not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our business or supply chain. Xanalys are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that any form of slavery is not taking place in our own business or supply chains.

Organisation’s structure

Xanalys is a technology company providing investigative case management solutions to the government and commercial sectors. We are based in the United Kingdom with our registered office being in Altrincham, England.  We are part of the larger group with our ultimate parent company being Constellation Software Inc who has head offices in Ottawa Canada and are listed on the Canadian stock market.

Our business

Xanalys Ltd is an autonomous company within the Constellation Software Group and has a single division selling a range of technology products to public safety, regulatory agencies and commercial organisations.

Although we are part of a larger group we would still audit suppliers who are adopted by our parent company.

Our people

We are committed to maintaining an honest and ethical culture, ensuring our staff are aware of modern slavery and human trafficking, so they are able to identify and report risks.

Relevant policies

Xanalys operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:

• Recruitment – Xanalys operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
• Pay– Xanalys is a living wage employer and ensures that all of its staff are paid as a minimum at this level also.
• Whistleblowing – our whistleblowing policy ensures that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisal.
• Health and Safety – this policy sets out our approach to ensure Xanalys provide a healthy working environment for our staff and contractors that work out of our premises.

Our supply chains

Our supply chain largely consists of major technology companies (e.g. Microsoft Azure) and business service providers. 

Xanalys conducts due diligence on all suppliers, determined to be critical and/or major to the business before allowing them to become one of our suppliers. This due diligence includes assessing regulatory licences and certificates, compliance with such regulatory bodies, checks to determine the financial stability of the supplier as well as carrying out supplier audits, where appropriate.

With regards to modern slavery prevention measures, as part of our due diligence we will:

1. Carry out a review of our key-subcontractors modern Day Slavery Act Statements and review their adequacy
2. Ensure that all key suppliers operate a program to eliminate MDS and to embed policies within their organisation to do so.
3. Establish that either no instances of MDS has occurred in the last twelve months or that where it has been identified it has been eliminated.
4. Where appropriate Xanalys will include reference to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in our policies and procedures.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Company’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the current financial year.
