Modern slavery statement.

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Financial Year 2026/27

1. Introduction and Commitment

Adliora Limited is an AI consultancy and strategy firm incorporated in England and Wales. We provide advisory, strategy, and implementation services to small and medium-sized enterprises, with a particular focus on the legal sector and professional services markets. We operate from the United Kingdom.

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We recognise that modern slavery, which encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, is a serious global crime and a gross violation of fundamental human rights. This statement sets out the steps Adliora has taken, and will continue to take, to ensure that modern slavery is not present in our business or supply chains.

Whilst Adliora does not currently meet the turnover threshold that would make publication of this statement a mandatory requirement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we believe that transparency on this issue is a matter of good governance and reflects the standards we expect of ourselves and of those we work with. As the business grows, this statement will be updated annually and will in due course form part of our mandatory compliance obligations.

2. Our Organisation, Business, and Supply Chains

Adliora Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales. The firm is led by its founder and sole director, Saqib Khan, and delivers consultancy services directly to clients. At this stage of the firm's development, operations are conducted by the founder. As the firm grows, it will engage subcontractors and associates to support delivery on specific client engagements, and this statement will be updated to reflect that.

Our supply chain is currently limited in scope and risk profile. The principal categories of third-party supplier we engage are as follows.

3. Policies in Relation to Modern Slavery

Adliora maintains the following policies that are directly or indirectly relevant to the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking.

• This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement, which is reviewed annually and published on the Adliora website.
• The Adliora Responsible AI Policy, which includes provisions on ethical business conduct and the protection of individuals in the use of AI tools.
• The Adliora Expense Policy, which includes provisions on compliance with the Bribery Act 2010 and the conduct expected of all personnel in commercial relationships.
• Subcontractor and supplier engagement terms, which include contractual obligations on compliance with applicable law, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the associated guidance issued by the Home Office.

Adliora does not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in any form within its business or supply chain. Any supplier, subcontractor, or associate found to be in breach of this position will have their engagement terminated.

4. Due Diligence Processes

We take a risk-proportionate approach to due diligence, focused on the areas where the risk of modern slavery is most likely to arise given the nature of our business and supply chain.

For subcontractors and individual associates, our onboarding process includes identity verification, right-to-work checks, confirmation of eligibility to work in the relevant jurisdiction, and review of the proposed working arrangement to ensure it reflects a genuine and freely entered commercial engagement. We do not use recruitment intermediaries without first satisfying ourselves as to their compliance practices.

For technology suppliers, we review the publicly available modern slavery statements and compliance documentation of significant suppliers before entering material commercial relationships. Where a supplier cannot demonstrate a credible approach to modern slavery compliance, we will seek an alternative.

For office and facilities suppliers, we apply standard due diligence proportionate to the value and risk profile of the supply. We do not procure goods or services from suppliers whose business practices are inconsistent with our ethical standards.

5. Risk Assessment and Management

We have assessed the risk of modern slavery within our business and supply chains as low, for the following reasons.

• Our business is a professional services firm. Our workforce consists of qualified professionals engaged under transparent commercial arrangements at market rates. There are no features of our direct operations that are associated with elevated modern slavery risk, such as labour-intensive manufacturing, low-wage shift work, or the use of temporary agency labour in vulnerable employment categories.
• Our supply chain is small, primarily UK-based, and concentrated in regulated professional services and established technology industries. The suppliers we engage are predominantly subject to their own statutory modern slavery compliance obligations.
• Should the firm operate internationally in future, each jurisdiction will be reviewed for specific risk before work begins there. The United Arab Emirates in particular has received attention in relation to migrant labour practices, and we would apply heightened due diligence to any supplier or subcontractor engaged in that jurisdiction.

We will review our risk assessment annually and will update it promptly if there is a material change in our business model, supply chain, or the jurisdictions in which we operate.

6. Measuring Effectiveness

As a firm at an early stage of development, our approach to measuring effectiveness reflects our current size and the limited complexity of our supply chain. We will track the following indicators and report on them in each subsequent annual statement.

7. Training and Awareness

The firm requires its director and any senior personnel who join to complete modern slavery awareness training on joining and at intervals not exceeding 12 months thereafter. The training covers the definition and forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, how to recognise indicators that a person may be a victim, how to raise a concern, and the reporting channels available including the Modern Slavery Helpline (operated by Unseen UK at 08000 121 700).

Subcontractors and associates engaged on client delivery work are made aware of this statement and of Adliora's expectations regarding ethical conduct as part of their onboarding.

8. Reporting Concerns

Any member of personnel, subcontractor, associate, client, or supplier who has a concern about modern slavery or human trafficking in connection with Adliora's business or supply chain is encouraged to raise that concern promptly. Concerns may be raised directly with the director of Adliora or by contacting the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700 or by email to modernslavery@unseenuk.org.

Adliora will not penalise or disadvantage any person who raises a concern in good faith. Where a concern is raised and substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include termination of the relevant commercial relationship and referral to the National Referral Mechanism or other relevant authority.

9. Looking Ahead

As Adliora grows and its supply chain develops, we will take the following steps to strengthen our approach to modern slavery compliance.

• Formalise a supplier code of conduct incorporating our modern slavery expectations, to be provided to all significant suppliers and incorporated into supplier agreements.
• Conduct targeted due diligence on suppliers in the UAE and US as those operations develop, with particular attention to any labour-intensive or lower-wage supply relationships in those jurisdictions.
• Review our training programme annually to reflect updates to statutory guidance and best practice.
• Engage with the Government's Modern Slavery Act review process and update our practices to reflect any legislative developments.

10. Director Approval

This statement has been approved by Saqib Khan, the sole director of Adliora Limited, and is made with reference to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It covers the first financial year ending 30 April 2027 and will be reviewed and updated by 30 September 2027.
