Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
AlphaGen Holdings Limited ("AlphaGen")
Companies House no. 17084844 — registered in England and Wales
Statement period: financial year ending [TO BE INSERTED on
first publication]
Effective date: 2026-04-27
Version: 1.0.0
Contact: legal@alpha-gen.ai
This statement is published voluntarily. AlphaGen's annual
turnover is currently below the £36 million threshold at which
section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 would mandate
publication. We publish anyway because:
- Our enterprise customers expect a public statement.
- The discipline of writing it informs our supplier-management
practices.
- We want to commit to the threshold-mandated regime now,
while we are still small enough to build the right habits.
We will continue to publish updated statements annually,
approved by the Board, signed by a director, and posted to our
website footer.

1. Our business
AlphaGen is a UK-headquartered AI-software company operating the
AlphaGen AutoAnnotation System — a privacy-by-design platform
for processing video and audio into structured annotations,
geometry, and world-state data. Our customers are commercial
organisations (research, healthcare, robotics, sports analytics,
insurance) that need high-quality annotated data to train or
evaluate their own systems.
Our supply chain is small and largely software-based:
- Cloud infrastructure providers (Amazon Web Services,
Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure) — see the
sub-processor list at docs/legal/privacy/subprocessors.md.
- AI / model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) for
Pass 4 LLM synthesis under contract.
- Software-as-a-service tools for engineering, support, and
business operations (e.g. GitHub, Datadog, Stripe, Notion,
Slack, Vault).
- Professional advisors (legal, accounting, audit, security
testing) retained as needed.
- Hardware suppliers for GPUs and developer laptops (limited;
off-the-shelf consumer / enterprise hardware).
- Content contributors and HITL operators — paid annotators
who consent to the platform's terms before contributing.
We do not engage in:
- Mass low-wage data-labelling subcontracting in low-income
jurisdictions.
- Any manufacturing, agriculture, mining, fishing, garment, or
hospitality activity — sectors typically associated with
modern-slavery risk.
- Recruitment of unaccompanied migrant labour or any worker
through an unregulated recruitment intermediary.
The risk profile of our supply chain is therefore concentrated
in: (a) cloud-infrastructure operations (where the suppliers'
own anti-slavery programmes apply); (b) the small number of
hardware items we purchase; and (c) any future expansion into
HITL operator pools that include workers in higher-risk
jurisdictions.

2. Our policies
The following internal policies are in place and enforced:
- Code of Conduct — applies to all directors, employees,
contractors, and on-site visitors. Prohibits any form of
forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking.
- Anti-Bribery Policy — see
docs/legal/internal/anti-bribery-policy.md. Forbids
payments to facilitate any unlawful labour practice in our
supply chain.
- Equal Opportunities Policy — see
docs/legal/internal/equal-opportunities-policy.md. Commits
to fair employment regardless of any protected characteristic.
- Recruitment Policy — every hire is verified against the
legal right to work in the relevant jurisdiction; recruitment
fees are paid by AlphaGen, never by the candidate.
- Whistleblowing Policy — included in the Disciplinary &
Grievance Procedure
(docs/legal/internal/disciplinary-grievance-policy.md).
Allows confidential, retaliation-free reporting of suspected
modern-slavery, bribery, or fraud incidents.

3. Due diligence
For each new supplier or sub-processor we:
- Assess the supplier's modern-slavery risk profile based on
sector, jurisdiction, and any public reports.
- Require, in our standard supplier terms, a representation
that the supplier complies with the Modern Slavery Act 2015
(or local equivalent) and has its own anti-slavery
commitments documented.
- For any supplier above the £36 million threshold, review
their published Modern Slavery Statement before contract
signature.
- For any supplier below the threshold but in a higher-risk
sector, request a written confirmation of anti-slavery
commitments and the right to terminate on credible evidence
of breach.
We re-review the supplier list quarterly as part of our
sub-processor governance.

4. Risk assessment
Our current risk assessment is:
| Area | Inherent risk | Residual risk after controls | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AlphaGen's own employment practices (UK-based) | Low | Very low | Right-to-work checks, fair pay, no recruitment fees on candidates. |
| Cloud-infrastructure suppliers | Low (mature published programmes) | Very low | All our IaaS suppliers publish annual statements above the £36 m threshold. |
| Software-as-a-service suppliers | Low | Very low | Same as above for the larger SaaS vendors; smaller ones receive supplier-form review. |
| Hardware suppliers | Medium (electronics supply chains have known issues) | Low | We buy small quantities through tier-1 retailers in the UK and EU; we are not a meaningful buyer in the global supply chain but track our suppliers' published statements. |
| Future HITL operator expansion | Potentially medium if we add operators in higher-risk jurisdictions | TBD | Any expansion requires Responsible AI Review Board sign-off including a labour-conditions assessment. |

5. Training
All staff complete an annual modern-slavery and ethical-business
module as part of our compliance training. Engineering staff who
manage supplier onboarding receive an additional module on
supply-chain due diligence.
Training completion is tracked centrally and reported to the
Board annually.
---
6. Effectiveness
We measure the effectiveness of our anti-slavery programme
through:
- 100% supplier coverage: every active supplier has an
attestation in our records or a public statement we have
reviewed.
- Zero incidents: no credible report of modern-slavery in
our supply chain to date.
- Whistleblowing channel uptake: the channel is open and
documented. We do not take low utilisation as evidence of
absence of issues; we actively communicate the channel's
existence at all-hands meetings.
We will report against these measures in next year's statement.
