This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Virtual Viewing Ltd has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within its business operations or supply chains.
This statement applies to Virtual Viewing Ltd and its associated operations and products, including its digital platforms and services.

The company provides cloud-based digital platforms, data management solutions, and AI-enabled services that support building operations, compliance, and asset management across the real estate and infrastructure lifecycle.
Our core activities include:

Office, IT, and administrative service providers
The majority of our suppliers are based in the UK, Europe, Australia, and other jurisdictions with established labour and employment regulations.
3. Policies in Relation to Slavery and Human Trafficking
Virtual Viewing Ltd operates a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that there is no forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, or human trafficking within our business or supply chains.
Our approach is supported by the following policies and principles:
Code of Conduct and ethical business standards
Supplier expectations relating to lawful employment, fair wages, and safe working conditions
Compliance with applicable employment, health and safety, and labour laws
Commitment to internationally recognised human rights standards
We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to act in a manner consistent with these principles.
4. Due Diligence Processes
Virtual Viewing Ltd undertakes due diligence to identify, assess, and mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within its operations and supply chains.
Our due diligence processes include:
Risk-based supplier assessment during onboarding
Preference for suppliers operating in jurisdictions with strong labour protections
Review of supplier business practices and contractual commitments where appropriate
Ongoing monitoring of supplier relationships
Termination or remediation action where unacceptable risks are identified
Where relevant, suppliers may be required to confirm compliance with modern slavery legislation and ethical labour standards.
5. Risk Assessment and Risk Management
Due to the nature of our business as a technology and professional services provider, the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct operations is considered low.
However, we recognise that certain areas of the wider supply chain may present higher inherent risks, including:
Global technology hardware manufacturing
Outsourced professional or technical services
Indirect supply chains beyond first-tier suppliers
To manage these risks, we:
Apply a risk-based approach to supplier selection
Engage with suppliers to promote transparency and ethical practices
Monitor industry guidance and regulatory developments
Review and update our internal controls as required
6. Effectiveness and Performance Monitoring
Virtual Viewing Ltd measures the effectiveness of its approach to preventing modern slavery through:
Ongoing review of supplier relationships
Internal reporting and escalation mechanisms
Periodic review of policies and procedures
Management oversight of ethical and compliance matters
As our business grows, we will continue to refine and enhance our performance indicators to ensure continuous improvement.
