Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment

Intelligent Energy Systems Pty Ltd (IES) is committed to conducting our business ethically, responsibly and with integrity, and to taking reasonable steps to identify and address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.

IES supports the objectives of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and has voluntarily adopted this statement as part of our commitment to responsible and ethical business practices.

We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, forced marriage, deceptive recruitment, the worst forms of child labour or other forms of modern slavery in our operations or supply chains.

Our Business and Supply Chain

IES is an Australian energy technology and advisory business providing software, data, consulting and related professional services to participants in the energy sector.

Our operations are predominantly professional and technology-based and are delivered by our employees, contractors and specialist service providers.

Our supply chain includes:

technology, software, cloud and telecommunications providers;

professional and consulting services;

subcontractors and specialist consultants;

offshore and outsourced business services;

recruitment and contingent labour providers;

property, facilities and office services;

travel and accommodation providers; and

other suppliers supporting our day-to-day operations.

Our Modern Slavery Risks

Given the professional and technology-based nature of our operations, IES considers the direct risk of modern slavery within our workforce to be relatively low.

We recognise, however, that modern slavery risks can arise within our broader supply chain, particularly where there is less visibility over employment and labour practices.

We consider factors that may indicate increased modern slavery risk, including:

suppliers operating in countries or regions with higher risks of labour exploitation;

outsourced or subcontracted labour;

suppliers operating in industries associated with higher modern slavery risks;

complex or multi-tiered supply chains;

technology hardware and other manufactured goods sourced through global supply chains; and

suppliers that rely significantly on temporary, migrant, low-skilled or otherwise vulnerable workers.

IES takes a risk-based and proportionate approach to identifying and managing these risks.

How We Manage Modern Slavery Risk

IES considers modern slavery risk as part of our approach to selecting, engaging and managing suppliers, subcontractors and business partners.

Our supplier due diligence process considers factors including:

the supplier’s location and countries of operation;

the nature of the goods or services being supplied;

use of subcontractors or offshore labour;

industry and sector risk;

employment and labour practices;

the supplier’s approach to modern slavery, human rights and ethical sourcing; and

any concerns or adverse information identified during our assessment.

The level of due diligence undertaken is proportionate to the nature and level of risk associated with the supplier or engagement.

Where appropriate, IES may seek additional information, evidence of appropriate policies and controls, or contractual commitments from suppliers and business partners.

Our Expectations of Suppliers and Business Partners

IES expects our suppliers, subcontractors and business partners to:

comply with applicable employment, workplace and modern slavery laws;

treat workers fairly and with dignity and respect;

not use forced, trafficked, bonded or child labour;

maintain appropriate employment and workplace practices;

take reasonable steps to identify and address modern slavery risks within their own operations and supply chains; and

notify IES if they become aware of an actual or suspected modern slavery issue connected with work undertaken for or with IES.

Where concerns are identified, we will work with the relevant supplier or business partner to understand the issue and determine an appropriate response.

Reporting and Responding to Concerns

IES takes actual or suspected modern slavery concerns seriously.

Our employees and representatives are expected to remain alert to indicators of modern slavery and to report concerns promptly through appropriate internal channels.

Where a potential modern slavery issue is identified, IES will assess the matter in a manner that considers the circumstances and the safety, dignity and rights of potentially affected people.

Depending on the circumstances, our response may include:

seeking further information from the relevant supplier or business partner;

requiring corrective or remediation action;

increasing monitoring or due diligence;

seeking specialist or legal advice;

suspending or reconsidering the business relationship; or

referring the matter to an appropriate authority.

We recognise that immediately terminating a supplier relationship may not always be the most appropriate response where doing so could adversely affect people experiencing or at risk of exploitation. Our response will consider the circumstances and the interests of affected people.

Suspected cases of modern slavery in Australia can be reported to the Australian Federal Police on 131 237. Where someone is in immediate danger, 000 should be contacted.

Monitoring and Review

IES periodically reviews our approach to identifying and managing modern slavery risks.

This includes considering:

outcomes from supplier due diligence;

risks identified through supplier and contract reviews;

concerns or incidents reported;

actions taken in response to identified risks; and

opportunities to improve our policies, processes, contractual controls and employee awareness.

We will continue to develop our approach as our business, supply chains and understanding of modern slavery risks evolve.
