Global Presence2Supply chain overview
We do not manufacture any goods. We analyze them to produce content that is serviced via ourTechInsights Platform. We purchase the latest technology products from reputable suppliers andperform product teardowns at our Ottawa and Warsaw offices. For the rest of our business, weoften engage suppliers providing various business software to optimize our operations.

Policies in relation to modern slavery andhuman trafficking
TechInsights maintains several internal policies to ensure we meet our legal obligations relating
to modern slavery, forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking. Policies are available on
TechInsights’ internal ‘’Policy Index’’ accessible to all employees as well as our public facing Ethicsand Compliance page. Moreover, policies are also integrated into our contractual framework.
Policies include:

TechInsights’ operations:
TechInsights’ Code of Conduct describes our purpose, values, and ethical business
commitment. We expect all our employees and other representatives to act in accordancewith the Code. It contains a modern slavery provision on Page 9 and employees who violate
our Code will be subjected to disciplinary action, up to and including termination ofemployment.
TechInsights’ Modern Slavery Policy describes our commitment to acting ethically and withintegrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing
effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in ourown business or in any of our supply chains. It also describes the processes and proceduresthat we have implemented to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Fighting
Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act 2023.
We also maintain several Employee Handbooks to ensure we comply with fair labor andemployment practices in jurisdictions in which we operate. Likewise, we maintain an Equality
and Diversity Policy in line with our commitment to equality of opportunity. We pay ouremployees in compliance with applicable law in their country of operations.

For our supply chain:
TechInsights’ suppliers are required to sign a Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) and agree
to Supplier Code of Conduct which includes a clause on modern slavery, forced labor,child labor, and human trafficking.

3Moreover, suppliers must fill in a Supplier Risk Questionnaire that requires suppliers to disclose
their policies with regards to human trafficking, child labor, and forced labor, among others. It
also enquires about suppliers’ reporting obligations under applicable legislation and whether
they train their employees on the relevant topics. More information is available in the “DueDiligence’’ section of this report.
We screen all our suppliers against applicable sanctions and export control laws, bribery andcorruption, modern slavery and child labour, and other regulatory/law enforcement risks.

Due diligence and risk assessment andmanagement processes
Supplier risk assessment and management
Supplier risk management is a part of TechInsights’ enterprise risk management. According toour Risk Assessment and Management Policy as well as Risk Assessment Methodology, wemaintain a Risk Registry, which is managed by the Risk Management Committee. We haverecorded our relationship with suppliers as a specific risk, particularly referencing the modern
slavery and forced labor issues in our supply chain. We have developed a detailed risk
mitigation plan that explains in detail the actions taken to comply with applicable laws andregulations, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Fighting Against Forced Labour andChild Labour in Supply Chains Act 2023.
Moreover, TechInsights has developed a supplier risk management process that must be
followed for all supplier agreements whether new or existing. For existing suppliers, the process
must be applied for each renewal and/or renegotiation of existing agreements or at the next
purchase of any devices, items, technologies, or any other goods. This has been recorded in aStandard Operating Procedure document, which is binding on internal teams interacting withthe supplier management process including but not limited to: Procurement, various Business
Units, Legal and Compliance, Security, and Finance Teams.

Supplier due diligence
As stated above, each supplier must sign a Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA), agree toSupplier Code of Conduct and complete a Supplier Risk Questionnaire, which covers thefollowing areas:
Economic sanctions and export controls
Governance and ethics
Human rights, labor, and workplace (including modern slavery questions)
Environment, health, and safety
Environment and social risk in the supply chain
Data privacy compliance
Assessment and compliance
Conflict of interest

The Supplier Risk Questionnaire is reviewed by the Legal and Compliance Team and Security
Team, where appropriate. Suppliers are screened against applicable sanctions and export
control laws, bribery and corruption, modern slavery and child labour, and other regulatory/law
enforcement risks via a third-party screening tool.
With regards to modern slavery, forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking, each supplieris screened against the following categories: exploitation of children, forced and slave labor,human trafficking and human rights violations among others.
Finally, where applicable, our due diligence review pays particular attention to suppliers that
manufacture or are in business dealing with risky goods such as: electronics, garments, gold,textiles, footwear, toys, rubber gloves, coffee, sugarcane and cane sugar, and fish. These havebeen identified as the top-10 risky goods and include well-documented cases of worker
1
exploitation in these supply chains, including evidence of child labor.
TechInsights’ People Team systematically checks employee work permits and immigration
documents at the hiring stage in every country where this is a legal requirement. We also
conduct background and reference checks according to local laws and regulations.
Moreover, compliance with labor laws is managed by our People Team in coordination with ourLegal and Compliance department.

TechInsights’ operations
TechInsights produces content that is published on our authoritative information platform(TechInsights Platform). We believe our business does not match the criterion of activities
highly exposed to forced labor risk, and we hire employees at all levels according to applicablelabor laws.

Business grievance mechanism
Suppliers are required to report any issues regarding compliance with the Supplier Code ofConduct, including any breach of modern slavery provisions, toCompliance@techinsights.com.
Moreover, employees are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion ofmodern slavery in any parts of our business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest
possible stage.
If employees believe or suspect a breach of our Modern Slavery Policy, or any other internal
policies, has occurred or may occur, they must notify their manager and the Legal andCompliance Team (compliance@techinsights.com) OR report it in accordance with ourWhistleblower and Confidential Reporting Policy (anonymously, if desired) as soon as possible.
