This page is written to describe Millwonder’s current practices and legal position clearly. It should be read with any contract that applies to a specific service or project.
1. Status of this statement
This is Millwonder’s current voluntary transparency statement. It is structured around the six areas recommended by section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. It must not be represented as a statutory, board-approved section 54 statement unless Millwonder confirms the applicable reporting entity, financial period, approval date and director sign-off.
2. Organisation and supply chain
Millwonder provides AI data collection, annotation, validation, model evaluation, intelligent software, automation and related hardware solutions. Its value chain may include employees, independent contributors, recruitment partners, technology and cloud providers, professional services, hardware manufacturers, logistics providers and other suppliers operating internationally.
3. Policy and standards
We prohibit slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, unlawful child labour, recruitment fees charged to workers, retention of identity documents and retaliation against anyone raising a concern. Business partners are expected to comply with applicable labour law and equivalent standards.
4. Risk assessment
Risk factors may include labour-intensive outsourced work, cross-border recruitment, vulnerable or migrant workers, opaque subcontracting, low-wage markets, hardware supply chains, excessive working hours and restrictions on worker movement. Risk is assessed using geography, service type, workforce model, spend, supplier transparency and credible external indicators.
5. Due diligence
Proportionate controls may include supplier questionnaires, contractual standards, identity and ownership checks, recruitment-practice review, verification of worker payment arrangements, audit or evidence requests, corrective-action plans and termination for unresolved material breaches. Higher-risk relationships receive enhanced review.
6. Contributor safeguards
AI data projects should communicate tasks, rates, payment terms, expected hours, privacy conditions and grievance channels clearly. Participation must be voluntary. Contributors must be free to decline tasks and leave in accordance with agreed terms, without unlawful penalty or coercion.
7. Reporting and remediation
Concerns may be reported to ethics@millwonder.com. Reports should be handled confidentially, objectively and without retaliation. Where credible harm is identified, the priority is individual safety, preservation of evidence, appropriate specialist or authority referral, remediation and prevention of recurrence—not simply ending the supplier relationship.
8. Training and effectiveness
Relevant procurement, operations and people teams should receive role-appropriate awareness training. Effectiveness measures may include completion of risk reviews, supplier acceptance of standards, concerns raised and resolved, corrective actions closed and worker-payment issues addressed. Millwonder will publish verified metrics only when reliable reporting data is available.
9. Governance and review
Operational leaders are responsible for implementing controls, with material issues escalated to senior management. This statement will be reviewed at least annually and updated when the business, supply chain or applicable law changes.
