QStory is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations and supply chains. While we are not legally required to publish a statement under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, we choose to do so voluntarily as part of our commitment to ethical business practices and human rights.
QStory is a young and fast growing but relatively small software development company, based in the United Kingdom, with operations and/or employees based in South Africa and Ireland. Our team works primarily in remote environments, with limited physical supply chain exposure. Our customers and suppliers are based primarily in the UK but also USA and Europe.
Our supply chain consists mainly of professional service providers, software vendors, cloud infrastructure providers, and equipment suppliers. While our risk is low due to the nature of our industry, we remain vigilant and expect all partners to meet high ethical and legal standards. We require adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes provisions on human rights, labour standards, and ethical behaviour.
We are committed to:
We assess our business and supply chain risks periodically. While the likelihood of modern slavery within our operations is low, we remain alert to indirect risks through third-party services and sourcing. Any concerns raised are promptly investigated and acted upon.
We ensure that relevant staff understand the risks associated with modern slavery and know how to identify and report any concerns. As our team grows, we will continue to strengthen training efforts in this area.
Overall responsibility for this statement and our approach to modern slavery lies with the CEO, who oversees implementation and annual review. As our business evolves, we will continue to develop our internal policies and practices to ensure ongoing alignment with ethical standards.
We will review this statement annually and consider further measures where appropriate. As our company expands, we will formalise additional procedures and policies to address any emerging risks.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes QStory’s modern slavery and human trafficking statement for the calendar year ending 2026.
