Purpose
C3 Intelligence Inc. (C3) and the United States Government prohibit trafficking in persons. The U.S. Government’s policy prohibiting trafficking in persons is available at 48 CFR § 52.222-50 and is summarized below under the heading: “Summary of U.S. Government Policy of Prohibiting Trafficking in Persons.”

C3 is committed to a work environment that is free from human trafficking and slavery, which for purposes of this policy includes forced labor and unlawful child labor. C3 will not tolerate or condone human trafficking or slavery in any part of our global organization.

C3 employees, subsidiaries, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, partners and others through whom C3 conducts business must avoid complicity in any practice that constitutes trafficking in persons or slavery.

Scope
This policy applies to all personnel employed by or engaged to provide services to C3, including, but not limited to, employees, officers, and temporary employees of C3 and C3’s U.S. and international subsidiaries, and independent contractors (for ease of reference throughout this policy, “employees”).

Every employee is responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with this policy. C3 managers are responsible for ensuring that employees who report to them, directly or indirectly, comply with this policy and complete any certification or training required of them. If you have any questions or concerns relating to this policy, consult the C3 legal department or human resources department.

Procedures
Report any conduct that you believe to be a violation of this policy to C3’s legal or human resources department. Reports may also be made through the C3 Ethics Hotline at [insert phone number] or via the internet at the following website: [insert URL], which allows anonymous reporting as permitted by applicable law.

Employees who fail to report actual or suspected misconduct may be deemed in violation of this policy.

Supply chain
The Company’s zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery is communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.

The Company undertakes appropriate due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers, contractors and business partners, and regularly review our existing suppliers, contractors and business partners.

In addition, the Company has conducted due diligence in respect of its current supply chain and has identified partners in India who have been subject to enhanced due diligence and who will be required to confirm in writing their compliance with the Modern Slavery Act of 2015 and include relevant clauses in any contracts or agreements.

The Company sends to all of its suppliers its supplier’s guide which includes anti- slavery language and its general terms and conditions. All suppliers are required to agree in writing to the supplier’s guide.

A standard supplier contract clause has been drafted requiring compliance with the Modern Slavery Act of 2015 and shall be included in the Company’s general terms and conditions of purchase. In higher risk cases this will include enhanced audit/termination rights to ensure more vigilant monitoring of high risk.

Serious breaches of the supplier guide will result in the termination of the business relationship.

Staff
The Company only uses reputable employment agencies, and we will always verify the practices of any new agency before engaging staff from it.

Training
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in the Company’s supply chain and business, the Company shall provide training all necessary employees. Everyone on the leadership team has been briefed on this very important subject.

Disciplinary Actions
C3 will not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting a concern in good faith or for cooperating with a compliance investigation, even when no evidence is found to substantiate the report.

Any violation of this policy may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. C3 and its subsidiaries have the exclusive right to interpret this policy regarding their respective employees.

Violation of the U.S. Government’s policy against human trafficking may also result in criminal prosecution of responsible individuals.
