Policy Statement
Pursuant to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (2010), the Australian Modern Slavery Act (2018), the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act (2015), Combating Trafficking in Persons, 48 C.F.R. § 52.222-50, and all other applicable legislation, ME TIME COACHING, a BY Williams LLC Company, including all subsidiaries, divisions, and affiliates thereof (“Company” or “The Company”), has issued the below statement regarding Human Trafficking, Forced Labor, and Modern Slavery (collectively “Modern Slavery”).
Modern Slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. Company has a zero-tolerance approach toward any form of Modern Slavery. We are committed to conducting our business ethically and in the best interests of all stakeholders, including our authors, contributors, employees, readers, and partners. The Company takes proactive steps to identify and mitigate Modern Slavery risks within our digital publishing operations and supply chain.
Company has implemented a comprehensive Modern Slavery compliance program modeled on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Framework. This program includes the establishment of management systems, risk identification, assessment, and mitigation in our operations, supply chain, and relationships with digital service providers. We periodically review our Modern Slavery risk profile and adjust our approach based on our risk assessments, ensuring that our commitment remains robust and effective.
As a digital media & publications and professional services company specializing in cloud computing, cybersecurity, FinOps, and cloud best practices, Company recognizes that while our direct operations do not traditionally fall into high-risk categories, certain aspects of our supply chain may involve higher-risk regions or activities. Our risk identification involves regularly assessing our compliance risk profile, focusing on our digital product suppliers, service providers, and any associated production or printing processes.
We have partnered with reputable third-party service providers to conduct due diligence on our supply partners. This includes collecting information about labor practices, especially in regions that have historically posed higher risks for modern slavery. We provide training to our identified suppliers on Modern Slavery compliance, raising awareness and promoting ethical labor practices. Any supplier found to be at high risk will be subject to enhanced due diligence and collaboration to mitigate identified risk factors.
Company is committed to continuously improving our Modern Slavery compliance program. We intend to refine the scope of surveyed suppliers and the nature of the information requested. Additionally, we will periodically re-evaluate suppliers previously assessed to detect changes in their risk profile.
Company enforces a strict policy against any form of Modern Slavery. Employees, contractors, suppliers, or partners found to engage in activities such as forced labor, human trafficking, or unlawful practices related to recruitment, employment, and working conditions will face disciplinary actions, including contract termination or legal action.
Team members, authors, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any questions or concerns regarding Modern Slavery to Company’s Office of Ethics and Compliance. Reports can be made anonymously where permitted by law.
Company is a leading authoring, digital publishing, and professional services company focusing on cloud computing, cybersecurity, FinOps, certifications, and cloud best practices. Our supply chain includes professional service providers, cloud technology vendors, and digital content distributors, primarily located in the United States and the European Union.
While the digital nature of our business reduces certain risks associated with traditional manufacturing or product supply chains, we are mindful of potential Modern Slavery risks within our partnerships, particularly with digital vendors, outsourced services, and suppliers in higher-risk geographic regions.
Company utilizes an independent third-party online ethics reporting portal accessible to all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders. This portal provides a confidential platform to report any ethical or compliance issues related to Modern Slavery.
All employees, including members of the Board of Directors, are required to complete annual training to enhance their understanding of Modern Slavery risks in digital supply chains and our business operations.
Company is committed to ongoing monitoring and reporting to evaluate the effectiveness of our Modern Slavery initiatives. We will periodically review our processes, assess compliance efforts, and seek feedback from stakeholders to improve our approach.
This statement is approved by the Company Board of Directors and reflects our commitment to combating Modern Slavery in all its forms.
