Our position on modern slavery.

1. About SubRound

SubRound is a software-as-a-service operations platform for UK parcel-subcontractor businesses, currently operated by J Potts Logistics Ltd (Companies House registration 12902676) pending the formation of a dedicated SubRound Ltd entity. We are a small UK business and at the time of writing we have fewer than 10 employees, all based in the United Kingdom.

2. Our commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour and any other form of exploitation. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our business dealings and relationships.

We expect the same standards from our suppliers, contractors, and any other business partners.

3. Our business and supply chain

Our principal supply chain consists of:

• Cloud infrastructure providers (Contabo GmbH, Stripe, Resend, Postmark, Let's Encrypt) — all established providers headquartered in the UK, EU or US, operating under their own modern-slavery compliance frameworks
• Software development tools (open-source libraries, GitHub, Vercel, pnpm package registry) — open-source software with no labour supply chain in the traditional sense
• Professional services (UK-based accountants, solicitors, bookkeepers) — all UK-based regulated professionals
• Office and business supplies — purchased from UK retailers and major online marketplaces

We do not directly employ workers in roles considered high-risk for modern slavery (for example, agricultural labour, manufacturing, or hospitality). Our customers are UK parcel-subcontractor businesses; we do not operate their fleets or employ their drivers.

4. Risk assessment

Given the nature of our business (a small UK technology operation with a UK and Western supply chain), we assess the risk of modern slavery in our direct operations and immediate supply chain as low. We recognise that risk in software supply chains is typically concentrated in:

• Hardware manufacturing in our cloud providers' datacentres (one step removed from us)
• Content moderation and labelling work used to train AI models we may rely on (we currently do not use third-party AI services as part of the customer-facing platform)
• Recycling of e-waste from end-of-life cloud infrastructure

Where these risks exist they are managed by our cloud providers under their own modern-slavery commitments.

5. Steps we take

• We conduct due diligence on new suppliers, prioritising UK and EU-based providers with their own published modern-slavery statements where the option is available
• We pay all of our staff at or above the relevant UK Living Wage and provide proper employment contracts
• We pay invoices to our suppliers on agreed terms — slow payment is a well-known driver of exploitation in supply chains and we don't contribute to it
• We encourage anyone (employee, contractor, supplier, customer) who has concerns about modern slavery in our operations or supply chain to raise them confidentially via admin@subround.com

6. Training and awareness

All staff are made aware of modern-slavery risks as part of induction. Given the small size of our operation, formal training programmes are not yet in place — we will introduce these as the business grows.
