Modern slavery act: Transparency in supply chains Statement for financial year ending 30 September 2024

 

About our ninth Modern Slavery Statement

Modern slavery is a serious and heinous crime that we do not tolerate in any part of our business or supply chains. We actively endorse and support objectives to eradicate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. This statement is published pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes CGI IT UK Ltd’s ninth Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement, for the 2024 financial year (1 October 2023-30 September 2024).

This statement reflects our established commitment to providing safe and fair working conditions for all CGI Partners. It also reflects how we work with our suppliers to ensure socially responsible and ethical business practices are embedded throughout our organisation and beyond.

As a services organisation where the majority of our employees are highly skilled and are contracted directly by our company, we consider the risk of modern slavery and forced labour within our workforce to be low.

However, we know that modern slavery exists in many different sectors across the world, including here in the UK and in the products and services we procure. We also recognise that companies can be unaware of modern slavery in their supply chain and a robust approach is required in operations and throughout the supply chain.

Most of the suppliers used to procure products and services for CGI IT UK Ltd and our clients are UK-based organisations, which account for 94.3% of supplier spend. 2.5% of spend is associated with suppliers based in the European Union, 1.99% in North America and 1.21% of suppliers (less than £3,000,000) based in other countries. The top five categories of CGI IT UK Ltd procurement spend include Infrastructure (19.8%), Professional Services (19.1%), IT Products and Maintenance (18.8%), Telecom (11.6%) and Temporary or project-based labour (10.9%).
