ABBYY and human rights

ABBYY believes that modern slavery and human trafficking are unacceptable and shall combated. We uphold our support for human rights and ethics and are committed to eliminating slavery and human trafficking from our business and operations.

 

ABBYY operations and supply chain

The industry sector in which ABBYY operates is considered a low risk for modern slavery. Our supply chains consist primarily of the provision of low-risk professional support services or office facilities, which support our employees in their work, such as:

  • Technology - IT hardware and software. Business- furniture, stationery and marketing items as well as the services that we use in our offices for example, catering, security and cleaning
  • Travel - organising and booking our travel and accommodation requirements
  • Professional Services - external training services, external consultants, technical support services
  • Subcontracted labor
  • Real estate – the offices we rent

ABBYY has identified the following areas as potentially higher risk:

  • Subcontracted software development personnel
  • Use of migrant or vulnerable workers in indirect supply chains
    •  
    Risk and compliance

    Given the sector and geography of ABBYY's business, we believe that our exposure to the risk of modern slavery is not significant. However, as part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risks, we are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking.

    We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers and other business partners, and we expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

     
    Our policies

    We do not tolerate modern slavery, whether within either our own business or our supply chain. We have policies that address the risks of modern slavery and other unethical, unlawful or discriminatory or exploitative behavior and treatment. These are set out below:

    • Our Global Code of Conduct sets out the conduct that we expect of our employees, contractors and suppliers, which states that we will not tolerate slavery or human trafficking.
    • Our Global Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy sets out prohibitions against any form of bribery and corruption, and guides our employees, contractors and suppliers in our day-to day dealings.
     
    Training and due diligence

    ABBYY has a risk-based approach to protecting, supporting and evaluating its business. We are constantly rolling out training to our employees on various compliance matters, working on introducing appropriate clauses in our contracts and undertaking due diligence on our contractors.

    We are currently undertaking a review of our supply chains for risks of modern slavery in the geographical areas where that could be a risk factor.

    Following a review of the effectiveness of our approach to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains we intend to take the following further steps to combat slavery and human trafficking:

    • Provide training to employees
    • Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains in geographical areas with higher risk
    • Improve upon our internal policies by introducing appropriate statements and guidance for the employees
    • Include anti-slavery and human rights clauses in contracts, especially ones that present high risk
    • Vendor Compliance Letter – include a clause in vendor’s compliance attestation requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery and human rights standards
    • Vendor Standard Agreement - require that standard terms include compliance with the Modern Slavery Acts
