Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

At Diktamen, we recognize modern slavery and human trafficking as serious human rights violations. These issues still affect people worldwide. We are committed to preventing such practices in our business and supply chains. Staff are encouraged to stay alert and report any concerns. Management is responsible for acting quickly and decisively when concerns arise.

Our Organisational Structure

Diktamen is a leading provider of digital dictation and transcription services, with a focus on delivering high-quality solutions to healthcare and legal professionals. Based in Finland, we serve clients across Europe, including the UK.

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chains primarily involve the sourcing of technology-related products and services for our software development, cloud infrastructure, and customer support. We work with suppliers that share our values regarding ethics and transparency.

Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are fully committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains. Our Anti-Slavery Policy reflects this commitment to integrity and ethical practice, and we implement robust systems to ensure that human rights abuses are not taking place at any stage.

Our Due Diligence Processes

Diktamen has taken a number of steps to mitigate the risks of slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains:

• We ensure close oversight of our premises and work environments to maintain control and minimise risks.
• We limit the geographical scope of our suppliers, enabling us to maintain strong oversight of business practices.
• Long-standing relationships with local suppliers are cultivated, with clear communication of our expectations regarding ethical business behavior.
• For national and international supply chains, we prioritise working with UK-based companies or branches and expect these entities to have their own anti-slavery policies. Each link in the supply chain is expected to perform due diligence on the next, ensuring ethical standards are maintained throughout.

We also have systems in place to encourage reporting of concerns, with protections available for whistle-blowers.

Our Suppliers Adherence to Our Values

We maintain zero tolerance toward slavery and human trafficking. All suppliers, contractors, and business partners are required to adhere to our values and ethical standards.

Training

To ensure a strong understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, relevant staff members receive training on these issues. All directors have been briefed and are aware of their responsibilities.

Measuring Our Effectiveness

We measure our success in combating modern slavery and human trafficking through the following key performance indicators (KPIs):

• Regular audits conducted by managers and business development teams.
• Monitoring and review of payroll and labor systems.
• Ongoing communication with our supply chain partners to ensure they understand and comply with our ethical standards.

Diktamen is committed to ensuring that our business operations and supply chains remain free from modern slavery and human trafficking, and we will continue to uphold the highest ethical standards.
