Modern Slavery Statement

Next Call is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. While we are not legally required to publish a statement due to our size, we choose to do so as part of our commitment to responsible business practice, transparency and ethical conduct.

 

Next Call is a UK-based consultancy providing business development, marketing and event services to enterprise technology companies. Our supply chain is straightforward and primarily involves UK-based professional service providers such as technology platforms, IT services, conference and venue suppliers, consultants and marketing and PR services. We have no complex manufacturing or overseas supply chains. Given the nature of our consultancy work, our overall exposure to modern slavery risk is low.

 

Next Call will continue to act transparently, target action where risks are highest, and improve our approach each year. We are committed to ensuring that the people working in our business and supply chain are treated fairly, safely and with respect. Our internal code of conduct promotes integrity, fairness and respect.
