Modern Slavery Statement
The steps we take to keep forced labour, human trafficking and child labour out of our operations and our supply chain.
Language: this document is published in English. Any translated version is provided for convenience only — the English text is the authoritative version and prevails in the event of any inconsistency.
1. Scope of this statement
This statement sets out the steps PremierCore Solutions (Private) Limited takes to identify, prevent and address modern slavery, forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and child labour in our own operations and in our supply chain. It is published voluntarily and is intended to meet the expectations of clients subject to the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 and comparable supply-chain transparency requirements.
It covers the financial year ending 30 June 2026 and will be reviewed annually.
2. Our business and supply chain
We are a business process outsourcing and technology services company. Our delivery workforce is employed directly by PremierCore Solutions (Private) Limited in Lahore, Pakistan. Commercial contracting for clients in the United States is handled through our US-registered commercial entity.
The majority of our workforce is directly employed rather than sourced through labour agencies. This is deliberate: agency and sub-contracted labour chains are where the great majority of modern slavery risk in this industry sits.
Our supply chain is comparatively short and consists mainly of: office and coworking facilities, IT hardware suppliers, cloud and software vendors, telecommunications providers, recruitment channels, and facilities services such as cleaning, catering and security.
3. Our policies
- Zero tolerance of modern slavery, forced or bonded labour, human trafficking and child labour in any part of our business or supply chain.
- Written employment contracts for every employee, in a language they understand, issued before work begins.
- Compliance with Pakistani labour law, including minimum wage, working hours, overtime, leave and statutory social security contributions.
- No worker is required to lodge deposits, pay recruitment fees, or surrender identity documents as a condition of employment.
- Freedom for workers to terminate employment on the contractual notice period, without penalty.
- A supplier code of conduct requiring equivalent standards from our vendors.
4. Risk assessment
We assess our direct operations as low risk: a directly employed, salaried, office-based professional workforce, with documented contracts and statutory registration.
We assess the following areas as carrying higher inherent risk and give them proportionately more attention:
| Area | Why it carries risk | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Facilities services (cleaning, catering, security) | Often sub-contracted, low-wage, informally employed | Contract with providers who can evidence formal employment and lawful wages; raise standards through our facility provider |
| IT hardware manufacture | Extended global supply chains with documented labour issues | Purchase through established suppliers of reputable brands with published supply-chain programmes |
| Third-party recruitment channels | Fee-charging intermediaries are the classic vector for debt bondage | Prohibit worker-paid fees; recruit directly wherever possible |
| Any future use of sub-contracted delivery capacity | Reduced visibility of employment conditions | Require contractual flow-down of these standards and a right to audit |
5. Due diligence
- Right-to-work and identity verification for every new hire, with age verification to confirm no person under the legal minimum working age is engaged.
- Supplier onboarding includes acceptance of our supplier code of conduct.
- Higher-risk suppliers are asked to confirm their labour practices in writing, and we reserve a right to audit.
- Concerns raised through any channel are investigated, and we will terminate a supplier relationship where a serious issue is not remediated.
6. Labour standards on our floor
- Wages paid at or above the applicable statutory minimum, through traceable bank transfer rather than cash.
- Working hours, rest breaks and overtime managed within legal limits, with overtime compensated as required by law and worked voluntarily.
- Night-shift work — inherent to serving US and UK time zones — is voluntary, additionally compensated, and supported with transport arrangements and health and safety measures appropriate to the shift.
- Statutory leave entitlements honoured, including sick leave and annual leave.
- No harassment, physical discipline, coercion or intimidation. Equal opportunity regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity or disability.
7. Recruitment practice
We apply the Employer Pays Principle: no worker pays for a job. No recruitment, placement or processing fee is charged to any candidate or employee by us or on our behalf, at any stage. Any third-party recruitment partner is engaged on that explicit basis. Identity documents remain with the worker at all times.
8. Training and awareness
Modern slavery awareness is included in induction for all staff, with additional briefing for managers, recruiters and anyone involved in procurement — so that the people most likely to encounter a warning sign are the people trained to recognise it.
9. Speaking up
Any employee, contractor, supplier or member of the public can raise a concern about labour practices in our business or supply chain by writing to info@premiercore.solutions with "Speak Up" in the subject line.
Reports may be made anonymously. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and any act of retaliation is itself treated as a disciplinary matter.
10. How we measure progress
- Percentage of workforce directly employed rather than agency-supplied.
- Percentage of active suppliers who have accepted the supplier code of conduct.
- Completion rate for modern slavery awareness training.
- Number of concerns raised, investigated and resolved.
We publish progress against these measures in each annual review of this statement.
11. Approval
This statement has been approved by the board of PremierCore Solutions (Private) Limited and is signed on its behalf by the Chief Executive Officer. It will be reviewed and republished annually.
