Statement on Modern Day Slavery

Issued 16 October 2026 · Version 3.1

Aureneum Limited opposes modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, human trafficking and servitude in every form, in its own business and in its supply chain. This statement sets out what we actually do about it. It is deliberately short, because the company is small and a longer statement would describe processes we do not operate.

1. Why we publish this

Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires a slavery and human trafficking statement from commercial organisations with a total annual turnover of GBP 36 million or more. Aureneum Limited is below that threshold and is not required to publish one.

We publish this voluntarily, in the form section 54 prescribes, because a counterparty is entitled to know our position before it deals with us, and because the discipline of writing it down is worth having before the company is large enough to be obliged to.

2. Our structure and business

Aureneum Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, company number 16790273, incorporated on 16 October 2025. Our registered office is at 158 Bedford Road, Kempston, Bedford MK42 8BH.

Our business is quantitative research. We produce written research and make it available to institutional and professional readers under subscription. We do not manufacture, we hold no physical stock, and we operate no premises other than our registered office.

The company is founder-led and has one director. As at the date of this statement it has no employees.

3. Our supply chain

Our supply chain is short and almost entirely digital. It consists of:

• cloud infrastructure, productivity and hosting services;
• market data and financial information licensed from established providers;
• payment, banking and financial services;
• professional services, meaning accountants, auditors, insurers and solicitors;
• occasional purchases of computing hardware and software.

4. Where the risk actually sits

We assess the risk of modern slavery in our direct supply chain as low. Our direct suppliers are regulated or substantial businesses operating in jurisdictions with functioning labour law, and the services we buy are delivered by skilled professionals.

We do not treat that as the end of the matter. Two areas carry residual risk and we name them rather than omit them:

Area	Nature of the risk
Computing hardware	Electronics manufacturing has documented forced labour risk in its deeper tiers, several steps removed from any purchase we make. We buy through established vendors and we have no visibility beyond them.
Outsourced technical or support services	Where a provider subcontracts work to lower-cost jurisdictions, labour conditions are not visible to us from a standard commercial contract.

5. What we do

The following describes our current practice, not an aspiration:

• we deal with established suppliers rather than the cheapest available, and we check what a supplier publishes about its own labour practices before entering a material engagement;
• where a supplier publishes a modern slavery statement, we read it;
• we do not use labour agencies, and we do not engage unskilled or low-paid labour of any kind;
• the director, who is the only person currently engaged in the business, is responsible for this statement and for acting on any concern raised under it.

6. Raising a concern

Anyone, inside or outside the company, may raise a concern about modern slavery or exploitation connected to Aureneum or to any organisation we deal with. Write to legal@aureneum.com, or by post to the registered office marked for the attention of the Director.

Concerns are treated confidentially and taken seriously. Nobody who raises a concern in good faith will suffer any detriment for having done so, whatever the outcome. Where a concern suggests a criminal offence, we will report it to the appropriate authority.

The Modern Slavery Helpline, which is independent of us, can be reached on 08000 121 700.

7. Review

This statement is reviewed at least once each financial year, and whenever the business changes materially. The issue date at the top of this page tells you which version you are reading.
