Introduction 

This statement, approved by members of Vix’s Executive Team, is issued in accordance with the requirements of Section 54, Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and identifies the steps Vix AFC Limited and its subsidiary companies (‘Vix’) take to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not take place within our business or supply chain. 

Vix is opposed to slavery, servitude, trafficking in persons, and forced or compulsory labour in any form and expects the same from all of its contractors, suppliers, and other business partners. 

Organisation structure and supply chain 

Vix is a global provider of automatic fare collection, transit information, and transit analytics solutions for the transport sector, with employees working across the world with hubs in APAC, the UK, Europe, and North America. 

Vix uses its supply chain to provide hardware, software, maintenance services, consultancy services, network and communications services, and data centre services and endeavours to appoint suppliers that we can trust and respect and that provide transparency. Vix requires its suppliers to meet appropriate standards and business practices, comply with applicable laws and regulations wherever they may operate, and adhere to Vix’s Supplier Code of Conduct.

Our policies 

Vix maintains an appropriate Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy that underpins our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. Vix further maintains supplier management policies and an employee Code of Conduct that reflect our commitment to managing our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our supply chains. 

Due diligence processes 

Vix communicates its commitment to tackling modern slavery throughout the onboarding and review of key suppliers, asking for evidence of their own policies and statements and that they comply with all regional employment laws and current minimum wage rates. As part of the declaration, Vix seeks acknowledgement that they have read and understood both our Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement and Supplier Code of Conduct. Additional due diligence is carried out as required. Where products are sourced from suppliers based in the Far East, including China, they are vetted and visited periodically. 

Internal awareness 

Vix employees are made aware of our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery through employee handbooks, the company’s intranet, and training as needed to understand the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain. Vix has systems in place to encourage the reporting of any concerns and provide protection for whistleblowers.
