Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition Ltd
(Prepared in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015)

1. Introduction

This statement is made on behalf of Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition Ltd (“the Company”) pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains.

Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition Ltd is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.

2. Organisation Structure and Business Activities

Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition Ltd is a UK-registered private limited company with a sole director.

The Company provides specialised software services and consultancy to clients operating within the oil and gas and aerospace industries. Our services are limited to professional knowledge-based activities, including software development, data acquisition systems support, technical consultancy, and advisory services.

The Company does not manufacture physical products, operate production facilities, or engage in direct supply of hardware components.

3. Our Supply Chains

Due to the nature of our business, our supply chain is limited and low risk. It primarily consists of:

  • Professional service providers (e.g., accountants, legal advisors)

  • IT software providers and cloud-based service platforms

  • Office and administrative service providers

We do not source raw materials, operate factories, or maintain complex international supply chains.

4. Risk Assessment

Given the professional and consultancy-based nature of our operations, the Company considers the risk of modern slavery or human trafficking occurring within our direct business activities to be low.

However, we recognise that risks may exist indirectly within broader global supply chains, particularly in industries such as oil and gas and aerospace. While we are not directly involved in physical production or procurement, we remain committed to ethical business practices.

5. Policies and Commitment

Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition Ltd is committed to:

  • Conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner

  • Ensuring fair and voluntary working conditions

  • Complying with all applicable employment laws and regulations

  • Not tolerating forced labour, bonded labour, or human trafficking in any form

As a sole-director company providing consultancy services only, the Company does not employ a large workforce or operate through labour agencies.

6. Due Diligence

Where appropriate, the Company seeks to work with reputable suppliers and professional service providers who are expected to:

  • Comply with applicable laws and regulations

  • Maintain fair employment practices

  • Operate with transparency and integrity

Supplier selection is based on professional credibility, reputation, and compliance with legal standards.

7. Training and Awareness

Given the size and structure of the Company, formal training programmes are not currently implemented. However, the sole director remains informed of obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensures compliance with relevant legal and ethical standards.

8. Ongoing Commitment

Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition Ltd will continue to review its business practices and supply relationships to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not present within its operations.

We remain committed to maintaining ethical standards and supporting the global effort to eradicate modern slavery.
