Modern Slavery

1. OUR BUSINESS STRUCTURE

Hanson Wade Group is a business intelligence organisation delivering specialist events, data products and research services across the Life Sciences and Construction sectors. Our operations are primarily UK‑based, supported by a global network of customers and partners.

2. OUR COMMITMENT

We maintain a zero‑tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our commitment is built on ethical conduct, transparency, and proportionate controls appropriate to our low‑risk operations.

3. OUR SUPPLY CHAIN

Our supply chain includes venues, technology suppliers, professional service partners, and marketing and data service providers. These are generally low‑risk categories, and we maintain strong ongoing relationships.

4. POLICIES AND GOVERNANCE

We maintain policies that support our commitment, including: Code of Ethics, Speak Up (Whistleblowing) Policy, Anti‑Bribery and Corruption Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and robust recruitment practices.

5. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DUE DILIGENCE

Given the nature of our business, our exposure to modern slavery risk is low. We have not conducted a formal risk assessment, and we consider this proportionate at this time.

6. TRAINING AND AWARENESS

We have not introduced formal employee training. Informal awareness through our policies and management communication is presently considered appropriate. We will keep this under review.

7. REPORTING CONCERNS

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and partners to report any concerns related to unethical practices, including modern slavery, through our Speak Up channels. No individual will suffer detriment for raising a concern in good faith.

8. FUTURE ACTIONS

We strive to continually improve our policies, standards and processes that mitigate against the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking.
