Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes many forms — including slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking — all of which involve depriving a person of their freedom in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.

DIY-ERP is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. This policy sets out the steps we take to make sure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in our supply chain. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery.

This policy applies to everyone who works for or on behalf of DIY-ERP, including directors, employees, contractors and any third parties acting for us. It also informs how we select and work with the suppliers and partners we engage.

DIY-ERP provides a toolkit and guided methodology that empowers businesses and Microsoft partners to implement Microsoft Business Central themselves. We are based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

At present, everyone who works for DIY-ERP is directly employed or directly engaged by us. We control our own recruitment, pay and working conditions, which allows us to be confident that:

• We pay at or above the applicable minimum wage and meet our obligations under Australian workplace law.
• All workers have the legal right to work and are free to leave their employment.
• No worker is required to lodge deposits, identity documents or payments as a condition of employment.
• Recruitment is fair, and no worker pays fees to secure work with us.
• Working hours, leave and entitlements comply with legal requirements.

Because we do not currently rely on labour hire, offshore labour or complex sub-contracting, our direct exposure to modern slavery risk is low. We keep this assessment under review as we grow.

DIY-ERP will:

• Maintain a zero-tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking.
• Act ethically and with integrity in all business relationships.
• Ensure our people understand the risks of modern slavery and how to report concerns.
• Take proportionate steps to prevent modern slavery in our operations and supply chain, and strengthen those steps as our business scales.

Our supply chain is currently limited — mainly software, cloud services and professional services from established, reputable providers. As we grow and engage new or higher-risk suppliers, we will apply due diligence proportionate to the risk involved.

Our approach to suppliers as we scale includes:

• Requiring new and material suppliers to confirm their commitment to preventing modern slavery, and to provide evidence of their own policies and practices on request.
• Prioritising due diligence for suppliers in higher-risk categories, industries or geographies.
• Including anti-slavery expectations in supplier terms and agreements where appropriate.
• Reserving the right to review, and where necessary end, relationships with suppliers who cannot demonstrate acceptable standards or who are found to be involved in modern slavery practices.

We recognise that the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) currently makes annual reporting mandatory only for entities with consolidated revenue of at least AU$100 million. DIY-ERP is below this threshold and is not required to submit a modern slavery statement. We nonetheless adopt this policy voluntarily as good practice and will comply with any mandatory reporting obligations should they apply to us in future.

The Director of DIY-ERP has overall responsibility for this policy and for ensuring it complies with our legal and ethical obligations. The Director designated as policy owner is responsible for its day-to-day implementation, for reviewing supplier due diligence, and for responding to any concerns raised.

All employees and contractors are responsible for reading, understanding and complying with this policy, and for helping to identify and prevent modern slavery in our operations and supply chain.

Everyone is encouraged to raise concerns about any actual or suspected modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain, however unlikely it may seem. Concerns should be reported to a Director as soon as possible.

No one will suffer any detrimental treatment for reporting, in good faith, a genuine suspicion that modern slavery of any kind is or may be taking place. If you believe you have suffered such treatment, you should raise it immediately with the Director.

Concerns can be raised by contacting: info@diy-erp.com | +61 (7) 3303 0215.

We make sure our people understand this policy and can recognise the signs of modern slavery. As the business grows, we will provide more formal training to those involved in recruitment, procurement and supplier management.

Any employee who breaches this policy may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. We may terminate our relationship with contractors, suppliers or other partners if they breach this policy or are found to be involved in modern slavery.

This policy is reviewed at least annually, and sooner if there is a significant change in our business, supply chain, or the applicable law. Changes are approved by the Directors.
