VDX.tv takes a zero-tolerance approach towards slavery and human trafficking within its supply chain and expects the same commitment from its suppliers, contractors, and business partners. This statement sets out the steps it has taken during the financial year to reflect this commitment.
Organisational structure
VDX.tv is an international video advertising effectiveness company. We employ over 500 people in a number of offices located across North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Our Supply Chains
Our key supply chains comprise:
- Digital advertising marketplaces, exchanges, supply-side platforms and publishers;
- Other companies supplying services connected to the serving, monitoring and verification of on-line advertisements;
- Data suppliers; and
- Other IT and technical service companies.
These businesses are predominantly staffed by highly-skilled employees. We consider that the sector that we operate in, the transactions that we undertake and any business relationships that we enter into all carry a negligible risk in terms of slavery and human trafficking.
In light of the above, VDX.tv assesses that the overall risk from slavery and human trafficking within its business is negligible.
Our Approach
VDX.tv acts ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships. VDX.tv is committed to ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or in any part of our business. We hire individuals directly via interview process, whether permanent staff or contractor. The vast majority of our employees are permanent staff.
Due Diligence
VDX.tv will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking.
VDX.tv will remain alert to any risk from slavery and human trafficking. If VDX.tv has any reason to suspect that any of its suppliers are affected by slavery or human trafficking, it will carry out reasonable and proportionate investigations and take whatever action it considers appropriate.
Further Steps
We will review the risk from slavery and human trafficking annually and assess whether the risk has increased. If the risk has increased, we will consider what further actions are required to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains. Such further actions may include adapting the supply chain and/or extending training about slavery and human trafficking more widely across employees.
