Modern Slavery Statement

1. Statement of Intent

At CJPI Ltd (“CJPI”), we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.

Although CJPI does not meet the statutory turnover threshold for mandatory reporting under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we choose to publish this voluntary statement to demonstrate our commitment to professional excellence and ethical leadership.

2. Organisational Structure and Supply Chain

CJPI is a leadership advisory, executive search, and M&A consulting firm headquartered in London, UK. We operate primarily within the professional services sector, which is considered low-risk for modern slavery.

Our supply chain consists primarily of:

• Professional services (Legal, Accounting, Consulting).

• IT infrastructure and cloud software providers.

• Facilities management and office supplies.

• Marketing and media production services.

We have identified our “Tier 2” supply chain (the suppliers of our suppliers) as the area requiring the most vigilance, specifically regarding the manufacturing of IT hardware and the provision of facility services.

3. Professional Due Diligence & Recruitment Standards

Within our executive search practice area, our core business involves the movement of leadership talent. We recognise the growing risk of digital recruitment fraud used by traffickers to exploit professionals. To mitigate this:

• Direct Verification: We perform rigorous background checks and verify the “Right to Work” and professional credentials for all candidates we represent.

• Direct Communication: We maintain direct lines of communication with candidates to ensure they are entering into agreements freely and without coercion or illegal “recruitment fees” paid to third parties.

• Client Standards: We encourage our clients to maintain similarly robust anti-slavery protocols within their own hiring processes.

• Guidance & Alerts: We have alerts showing on our careers pages to highlight the risk of scams, as well as a guide on how to spot scams.

4. Policies and Risk Management

Our Anti-Slavery Policy is reviewed annually and is integrated into our broader corporate governance framework. Key measures include:

• Zero Tolerance: We will not knowingly support or do business with any organisation involved in slavery or human trafficking.

• Whistleblowing: We provide a clear internal pathway for employees or stakeholders to report concerns regarding unethical practices without fear of retaliation.

• Supplier Vetting: We prioritize suppliers who can demonstrate their own compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 or international equivalents.

5. Training and Awareness

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery in our business and supply chains, we provide ongoing guidance to our team.

• Mandatory Training: 100% of our staff are required to complete modern slavery awareness training, specifically focused on identifying the signs of coercion in professional settings.

• Continuous Monitoring: We use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track the completion of this training and the frequency of supplier audits.

6. Continuous Improvement

CJPI is committed to the continuous improvement of our practices. We continue to aim to:

• Further map our Tier 2 IT suppliers to ensure ethical hardware sourcing.

• Participate in voluntary reporting via the UK Government’s modern slavery statement registry to improve transparency.

• Enhance our “Editorial & Publishing” standards to include insights on ethical leadership and supply chain integrity.

7. Approval

This statement has been reviewed and approved by the leadership of CJPI Ltd.
