We deliver must-have intelligence to our clients when they need it, through a combination of time-sensitive insight, proprietary data and analytics, expert research, and sophisticated tools.
Our Supply Chain
Law Business Research partners with a small group of small to medium size suppliers for most of its local requirements, and with multi-national suppliers for other requirements such as technology systems and infrastructure, and real estate. Law Business Research has never been made aware of any activities involving either itself or its supply chain that would prompt concern in relation to slavery or human trafficking. In the event that any such incident were highlighted to Law Business Research, we would take swift and decisive action in accordance with our legal and moral obligations. This could involve working with the supplier to agree an action plan to address the issues, delisting the supplier, and/or sourcing products or services from alternative suppliers, all dependent on the nature and severity of the concerns.
Due Diligence
All our organisation’s activities and our supply chains are considered to be low risk with regards to modern slavery or human trafficking. To help identify and monitor the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain, we take various steps including, building long standing relationships with suppliers and customers and making clear our expectations of ethical business standards and behaviour. We aim to work with reputable, well-established suppliers of goods and services. For new suppliers, we assess their risk by sending a due diligence questionnaires before entering into a contractual relationship.
Awareness and Reporting
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking amongst our employees through mandatory training that helps them to spot signs of modern slavery and human trafficking.
All employees have access to an external helpline where they can anonymously report any employment concerns, including those related to modern slavery and human trafficking. In addition to this contact information for the modern slavery helpline are clearly displayed throughout our offices and on our employee intranet.
