Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction
MediLIMS is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not take place in any part of our business operations or supply chain. We recognize our responsibility to combat modern slavery and are dedicated to transparency in our approach.

MediLIMS is a leading provider of laboratory information management systems (LIMS) designed to enhance efficiency and accuracy in medical and research laboratories. Our operations span software development, customer support, and service delivery, with a supply chain that includes technology providers, software vendors, and professional service partners.

Our Commitment
MediLIMS has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are dedicated to ensuring that our employees, suppliers, and business partners adhere to ethical labour practices.

Policies and Procedures
To mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain, we have implemented the following measures:

• Supplier Code of Conduct – We require our suppliers and partners to comply with legal and ethical labour standards, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and prohibitions against forced labour and human trafficking.

• Due Diligence – We conduct due diligence on new suppliers and periodically review existing suppliers to ensure compliance with our ethical standards.

• Employee Awareness and Training – We provide training to employees to recognize and report any signs of modern slavery and human trafficking.

• Whistleblowing Policy – We maintain a whistleblowing mechanism to enable employees and stakeholders to report any concerns related to unethical labour practices confidentially.

Risk Assessment and Management

MediLIMS regularly assesses the risk of modern slavery within our supply chain and operations. We work closely with suppliers to ensure compliance and take corrective action if any risks or violations are identified.

Assessing and Addressing the Risk of Modern Slavery

MediLIMS takes a proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks of modern slavery in our business operations and supply chain. Our strategy includes:
• Conducting risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities within our supply chain and business operations.
