Business Context & Risk Profile

As a technology development business headquartered in New Zealand, we employ staff directly and do not operate extensive manufacturing or raw-material supply chains. This means our overall risk of modern slavery exposure is low compared to industries with complex global supply networks.

Nevertheless, we remain vigilant about potential risks that may arise, including:

• Offshore employment arrangements.

• Procurement of IT hardware and software services.

• Engagement of professional services or third-party contractors.

Governance & Oversight

Oversight of modern slavery risk management sits with the Board of Directors, supported by our Privacy & Ethics Officer. This statement is reviewed annually and updated to reflect legal developments and evolving best practice.

Due Diligence & Risk Management

To minimise risks associated with modern slavery, Streamline:

• Employs all offshore staff directly, avoiding the use of labour hire intermediaries.

• Works only with third parties who demonstrate a commitment to ethics and integrity consistent with our own.

• Incorporates ethical and human rights considerations into supplier selection and contractual arrangements.

• Maintains ongoing monitoring of business practices to ensure compliance.

Staff Awareness & Reporting

We encourage all staff to remain alert to potential risks of modern slavery and to report any concerns without fear of reprisal. Concerns may be raised through our Whistleblowing Policy or directly with the Ethics Officer.

Training on ethical conduct and awareness of human rights obligations is included as part of our staff induction process.

Continuous Improvement

Although our exposure to modern slavery risks is limited, we are committed to strengthening our practices over time. We monitor regulatory developments in New Zealand and align our approach with international frameworks, including the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, to ensure transparency and accountability.

Reporting and Response

Reporting Mechanisms

Concerns regarding potential modern slavery or human trafficking may be reported to:

Ethics Officer
Streamline Business Group Limited
Email: ethics.officer@streamlinebusiness.group

Investigation and Response

Upon receiving reports of potential concerns, we will:

• Conduct reasonable investigation of reported issues

• Take appropriate corrective action where violations are identified

• Cooperate with relevant authorities as required by law

• Implement measures to prevent recurrence

Important Limitations

Reasonable Efforts Standard

Our commitments are made on a "reasonable efforts" basis, recognising:

• Commercial feasibility and cost considerations

• Dependence on third-party representations and compliance

• Practical limitations of monitoring and oversight capabilities

• Evolving nature of modern slavery risks and indicators

No Absolute Guarantees

While we are committed to preventing modern slavery, we cannot guarantee that our supply chains are completely free from such practices. Our approach represents reasonable commercial efforts to identify and address potential risks.

Third-Party Responsibility

We rely on third-party suppliers and partners to maintain their own compliance with applicable laws and ethical standards. Streamline is not responsible for third-party actions beyond our reasonable control or knowledge.

Legal Compliance

This statement is made in accordance with applicable modern slavery legislation and regulations. Nothing in this statement creates legal obligations beyond those required by applicable law or set forth in our Terms of Service.

Closing Statement

Streamline Business Group recognises that preventing modern slavery is a shared responsibility. By embedding vigilance, integrity, and respect for human rights into our operations and partnerships, we aim to contribute to a fair, transparent, and ethical global business environment.
