contractors, qualified to provide consultancy services due to their experience or certain qualifications they hold.
Guidepoint ensures all Advisors take thorough training in how to consult through Guidepoint’ s network including arobust compliance framework. Guidepoint maintains procedures regulating payments to Advisors ensuring the payments
are correctly remitted to the accounts designated by the Advisors. For these reasons, Guidepoint considers its Advisors
to be a low risk in relation to modern slavery concerns.
ii.

General Suppliers

Due to our business model Guidepoint does not require a complex supply chain and utilizes a relatively small numberof suppliers. Of those suppliers, we use few which require unskilled labour. We undertake due diligence into each supplier
we seek to onboard. We require certain suppliers to fill in a Supplier Due Diligence Questionnaire. Guidepoint aims toincorporate questions relating to human rights and modern slavery into this questionnaire.
Guidepoint determines that the risk of modern slavery in our business and in our supply chain is low, however weacknowledge the importance of reviewing our processes and remaining alert to this risk as our business expands.
