Our suppliers

123 Digitally Ltd operates and maintains a preferred supplier list.  We conduct due diligence on all suppliers before allowing them to become a preferred supplier.  This due diligence includes an online search to ensure that particular organisation has never been convicted of offenses relating to modern slavery and on-site audits which include a review of working conditions. 

• In addition to the above, as part of our contract with suppliers, we require that they confirm to us that:

• They have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business

• They hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery

• (For UK based suppliers) They pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate)

• (For international suppliers) They pay their employees any prevailing minimum wage applicable within their country of operations

• We may terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light
