Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Financial year 2026–27 · First statement · Adopted 2026

1. Introduction and commitment

Prelego Holdings Limited (“Prelego”) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and to acting ethically and with integrity in all of its business relationships. Prelego’s annual turnover is below the £36 million threshold at which section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires publication of a slavery and human trafficking statement. This statement is therefore made voluntarily, in the spirit of section 54, and constitutes both Prelego’s policy on modern slavery and human trafficking and its public statement of the steps taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in its business or supply chains.

2. Our organisation, business and supply chains

Prelego is a UK-registered, clinically led company and an Imperial College London spin-out, developing regulated artificial-intelligence software as a medical device for the prevention of avoidable harm in NHS hospitals. Our workforce is small, professional and based in the United Kingdom, engaged directly under written contracts of employment or consultancy, with right-to-work checks completed for all staff. We pay no recruitment fees to workers and do not use unvetted labour agencies.

We do not manufacture physical products and have no labour-intensive or overseas manufacturing supply chains. Our supply chain is short and comprises principally: cloud hosting and software infrastructure services; and professional services, including legal, regulatory, quality, clinical and financial advisers, based in the UK and EU. Where our software is deployed within a customer’s own computing environment, no additional Prelego-controlled infrastructure is introduced.

3. Our policy

We take a zero-tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage, and will cease to engage, any supplier or business partner involved in such practices. We expect all suppliers to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and with all applicable employment and human-rights law, and to hold their own supply chains to the same standard. Any member of staff may raise a concern about modern slavery, in confidence and without fear of detriment, directly with any director of the company; every concern raised will be investigated and acted upon.

4. Due diligence

Our due diligence is proportionate to our size and risk profile. New suppliers are screened at onboarding, including confirmation of their registration and standing and, for material suppliers, review of the supplier’s own published modern slavery statement or policy where one exists. Our principal infrastructure providers are large, established firms that publish statements under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Modern-slavery provisions are incorporated into our supplier terms as new contracts are entered into and existing contracts are renewed.

5. Risk assessment

We assess our inherent exposure to modern slavery risk as low: our workforce is professional and UK-based, we conduct no manufacturing, and our direct supply chain is short and comprises established UK and EU service providers. Residual risk sits deeper in the supply chains of global infrastructure providers, for example in hardware manufacture and data-centre construction; we mitigate this by procuring from established providers that publish their own statements and operate their own supplier due-diligence programmes. We will keep this assessment under review as the company and its supply chain grow.

6. Measuring effectiveness

We measure the effectiveness of this policy through the following indicators, reported to the Board annually: the proportion of new suppliers screened at onboarding (target 100%); the proportion of staff who have received and acknowledged this policy (target 100%); the number of concerns raised and the proportion investigated and resolved; and completion of the annual review and republication of this statement.

7. Training and awareness

This statement is issued to all staff on adoption and forms part of induction for new joiners. Staff with procurement or supplier-management responsibilities receive a targeted modern-slavery awareness briefing, to be completed for current staff during 2026.

8. Governance, review and approval

The Board of Directors owns this policy. Day-to-day responsibility for its operation, including supplier screening, rests with the Chief Financial Officer. This statement is reviewed annually, updated as required, and published at prelego.ai.

This statement was approved by the Board of Directors of Prelego Holdings Limited
