Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Act Statement
Introduction
Although Precog Ltd is not legally required to publish a statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we recognise the importance of taking a proactive stance against modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that our business operations and supply chains are free from exploitation.
Our Business
Precog Ltd is a consultancy firm based in the UK. Our services focus on providing research, design, and innovation services. We employ a small team and occasionally work with contractors, partners, and suppliers.
Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains are limited, mainly involving professional services, digital tools, office supplies, and freelance contractors. While overall risk is low, we recognise that some categories, such as office equipment, outsourced digital services, and global software providers, may present higher risks due to complex international supply chains.

Including expectations on labour rights and ethical practices in contractor and supplier agreements.

Assess new suppliers for ethical standards where appropriate
-
Maintain clear communication with contractors and partners on our expectations

Investigate any concerns raised regarding labour practices
Training and Awareness
