OUR POLICIES ON SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Modern Slavery and other internal policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains. While Intralinks, Inc. is not directly subject to the Modern Slavery Act, we are publishing this statement alongside Intralinks Ltd as we have a shared approach to addressing these risks.
DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES FOR SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have in place to the following:
- Suppliers are expected to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes in place and confirmation is requested as part of the Due Diligence processes for relevant suppliers
- Key risk areas in our supply chains are identified through this Due Diligence where any exceptions are escalated
- Systems to encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers
SUPPLIER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES AND ETHICS
To ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values we have in place a supply chain compliance programme that reviews our supply chain and contractors on a periodic basis. We have a dedicated compliance team at the parent company level, which consists of involvement from the following departments:
- Audit
- Human Resources
- Procurement
- Legal Department
OUR SUPPLIERS
We build in house solutions where possible to ensure control of our work environment. Where we do need to make use of Suppliers, in the main they provide services such as technology solutions, maintenance and support, premises and office management, business solutions and professional services. We build long standing relationships with Suppliers where it is possible and make clear our expectations of business behavior through our Due Diligence processes. The following processes allow us to understand that our Suppliers work ethically and have mechanisms in place to demonstrate that Modern Slavery is not an issue within their own businesses:
- Due Diligence is completed when onboarding a new Supplier
- Questions concerning our Supplier’s approach to Modern Slavery are asked within the Due Diligence Questionnaires for relevant suppliers and responses are reviewed to ensure we are satisfied that their approach meets our expectations
- Where an unsatisfactory response is received from a Supplier on their Modern Slavery approach, further review is required with escalation to the Supplier Risk Governance Committee if appropriate where the risk would be assessed and a decision would be made to either continue to work with or not work with the Supplier
- The Due Diligence exercise is then repeated annually where applicable
OUR EMPLOYEES
Similarly we have mechanisms in place demonstrating that we treat our people fairly, respectfully and equally. Here are the key policies, processes and practices in place which support this:
Expectations of our Employees
- Employee Terms & Conditions – signed on joining
- Employee Handbook – reviewed/signed annually
- Culture & Conduct Risk Policy
- Guiding Behaviours – Assessment against these is a key part of the annual appraisal process
- SMCR (Senior Managers Certification Regime)

Supporting Intralinks and/or Employees

- Review of pay annually
- Criminal checks where legally permitted (on joining)
