Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for the Financial Year Ending 31 December 2025 (Modern Slavery Act 2015)
Structure, business, and supply chains
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement applies to Convergint UK Ltd, its associated companies, colleagues, and approved supply chain partners. This statement relatesto the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
Convergint UK Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Convergint Technologies LLC (“Convergint”) which is an industry-leading global systems integrator headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Since its
founding in 2001, Convergint has focused on delivering results for our customers through unparalleled service excellence. At Convergint, our top priority is service in every way — service to customers, colleagues, and the communities we serve. As an integrator, our expertise and strategic focus allow us to work alongside a global network of partners and manufacturers to provide comprehensive design, installation, and service for integrated building systems, including electronic security and audio-visual systems. From day one, delivering value through unmatched customer service and consistent operational excellence has been foundational at Convergint.
Convergint was built on a solid foundation of Values & Beliefs (V’s & B’s). Before the company was legally formed in 2001 – before one order was received – before we hired one colleague, our founding leaders
began writing down the guiding principles that would become our V’s & B’s and established a unique and empowered culture. Our V’s & B’s have driven our positive culture throughout our organisation and differentiated us from other integrators.
We are committed to developing and adopting a proactive approach to tackling hidden labour exploitation across all our global operations. This commitment applies to all colleagues, job applicants, contractors and workers engaged through third parties. It is understood that it is often well hidden by the perpetrators with victims often reluctant or unable to come forward.
Policies and Due Diligence Processes
As outlined in our Code of Conduct, Convergint prohibits the use of child, compulsory or forced labour, trafficking in persons, or any acts associated with modern slavery for any purpose. In addition to our Code of Conduct, we have other policies in place to protect against forced and child labour in our operations and supply chain, namely:
Human Rights Policy
Convergint’s Human Rights Policy outlines our commitment to promoting and respecting human rights worldwide, throughout all our subsidiaries. We contribute to the realisation of human rights through
consistent compliance with laws and regulations wherever we have operations, including all applicable wage, working hour and labour laws and regulations. The Human Rights Policy also expressly prohibits the use of child, compulsory or forced labour, trafficking in persons and acts associated with modern day slavery for any purpose.
In addition, we have procedures in place to prevent child labour in our own operations, which include conducting a pre-employment background check and age verification for candidates before hiring. Training is provided to supervisors on applicable labour laws across the jurisdictions in which we operate to ensure compliance within our operations.
Supply Chain Code of Conduct
Convergint’s Supply Chain Code of Conduct aims to clarify our expectations of ethical corporate business practices for our customers and suppliers. Compliance with this policy is expected, and we reserve the
right to terminate our business relationship with any supplier that violates this policy. We set specific expectations of suppliers in this policy to ensure their supply chains are free from slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking.
We take an active role in ensuring our suppliers uphold human rights, prevent violations, and take steps to combat forced and child labour. Our Supply Chain Manager engages with our suppliers to ensure they
meet our expectations on all issues surrounding forced labour and child labour, as outlined in our Supply Chain Code of Conduct, which suppliers are expected to adhere to as part of our onboarding and engagement processes.
We are committed to working with current and prospective suppliers to ensure a clear understanding and adherence to our Supply Chain Code of Conduct and ethical business practices. Prior to qualifying any
new suppliers, a Supply Chain Qualification Questionnaire must be completed and returned in conjunction with a signed copy of the Supply Chain Code of Conduct.
Speak Up Policy
We have established a whistleblowing process, utilizing ReportIt; an independent third-party ethics and compliance hotline. This reporting mechanism is accessible to all Convergint employees and allows for anonymous submissions and treatment of complaints.
Employees are encouraged to report any concerns about ethics and/or Code of Conduct infractions to their supervisor, Human Resources, or directly through ReportIt.
Convergint maintains a global Speak Up Policy, which is distributed to all employees annually for their review and acknowledgement.
Convergint will:
- Accept that job finding fees will never be charged to job applicants.
- Ensure that all staff responsible for recruiting workers are trained to identify risks associated with third-party labour exploitation.
- Ensure labour sourcing, recruitment, and worker placement processes are controlled by trusted and competent staff members.
- Adopt a proactive approach to reporting suspicions of hidden worker exploitation.
- Provide information on tackling hidden labour exploitation to our workforce.
- Encourage workers to report concerns and investigate reports appropriately.
- Encourage and support employees to report exploitation occurring within their communities through our Speak Up Policy.
- Require labour providers and organisations within the labour supply chain to adopt policies and procedures consistent with these principles.
Identification of risks together with steps taken to prevent and manage that risk
Convergint applies a ‘principles and outcomes’ approach in risk management practices. This is in line with our ISO certification requirements. We acknowledge that understanding the risks of forced labour
and child labour in our supply chains is critical to targeting our actions and engagement with our suppliers. In line with the UN Guiding Principles, identifying and prioritising the most salient risks connected to our operations and business relationships is key to preventing and mitigating forced labour and child labour. To date, Convergint’s risk management approach has focused on risks to workers in our own operations, including respecting the safety and human rights of workers.
We are committed to improving our understanding of the risks in our supply chain, including by engaging in research, mapping our supply chain against publicly available information, and seeking feedback from
workers, manufacturers, distributors, and communities. Potential risk areas include subcontracted labour, installation and service activities at customer sites, recruitment practices, facilities services, logistics, and global electronics manufacturing supply chains.
Due diligence processes in relation to slavery and human trafficking in business and supply chains
Convergint has continued to develop our education and awareness programme, aligning the messaging to the specific nature of our business and modern slavery and human trafficking in a modern context.
Whilst we consider the overall risk exposure within our direct operations to be relatively low due to the nature of our business and services, we are committed to making sure our colleagues stay alert and know what to do should they identify any suspicious activity.
Our control objectives are mapped against risks and designed to classify the control type, outline the purpose of the control, why the control exists and how to perform the control to ensure signs of modern
slavery and human trafficking are detected, prevented and reported.
Effectiveness in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in business or supply chains.
Convergint has a stringent vetting process for all new starters and conducts thorough due diligence as part of subcontractor (LSP) onboarding.
Measures adopted in 2025 were an addition to the inspection reporting process for project and service site H&S and Quality inspections which includes a prompt and question around looking for signs of
forced labour at the site. Thus, raising awareness on the matter.
Training and capacity building about slavery and human trafficking
Convergint designates appropriate managers to complete Modern Slavery training and support company procedures relevant to this issue.
All policies are communicated to the workforce via Percipio online platform.
During 2025:
- 100% of new suppliers completed onboarding due diligence requirements for Convergint Technologies UK Ltd.
- The Code of Conduct policy was communicated to all colleagues.
- Modern slavery considerations were incorporated into project and service site inspections.
- No confirmed incidents of forced labour or human trafficking were identified within our direct operations.
2026 Training Plans
- Percipio training platform will be rolled out globally in Q1 2026. This program provides access to new training programs and the ability to track colleague participation and understanding.
- Continue with mandatory Code of Conduct training for all employees each year, highlighting sections related to forced labour delivered and acknowledged through Percipio.
- Develop an awareness program for critical suppliers and contractors to increase their ability to spot signs of forced labour and child labour.
