We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or in our supply chains.

We are an internet service provider that predominantly employs professionally qualified and highly skilled people. We consider the risk of Modern Slavery occurring within our business to be low. We select suppliers that have the same values as us, including a commitment to the highest professional standards and ethical conduct in their business dealings.

All of our employees are required to comply with our internal policies, procedures and code of conduct. Every employee is expected to practice high standards of business ethics in every business relationship – with each other, with Cogent, with our customers, with our business partners, and with our competitors. Failure to comply with the law or our policies is subject to disciplinary measures and possible termination.

We have in place a policy and procedures for whistleblowing, which are posted on our Intranet and which ensure that employees can confidentially report concerns regarding our compliance with laws, ethical business practices or compliance with our codes of conduct.

Our third party supply chain consists mainly of equipment and services suppliers: suppliers of telecom equipment, suppliers of IT and technology services, office supplies, cleaning, catering facilities, professional services, fiber vendors and owners of buildings in which we operate, etc. We believe that our supply chain is, therefore, low risk as regards slavery and/or human trafficking. We have not identified an immediate need to take any additional action with regard to such relationships.

We review our procurement and supply chain management procedures regularly with a view to further reinforcing our commitment to the ethical conduct of our business.

We intend to raise more awareness internally of this Statement and in relation to modern slavery across all staff by publishing this statement internally on our intranet.

The Cogent Board of Directors approved this statement on behalf of the members on November 1, 2023.
