TNMA Consulting Limited has taken steps to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business.
We recognise that we have responsibility under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking and we are absolutely committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our corporate activities, and to ensuring that our supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking.
Here are the steps we have taken and continues to take to understand and minimise the potential risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains. This statement is published in line with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our Organisational Structure and Supply Chains
TNMA Consulting Limited is a private company limited by shares, and the situation of its registered office in England and Wales.
Due the nature of our services, our business operations are predominantly in the Cloud hosting and security, Software development, Infrastructure deployment and Data services, in addition to professional services including project management, customer support, service delivery and implementation.
Our business largely uses Information Technology professionals employed directly by TNMA Consulting Limited. Our people policies ensure fair treatment of all staff.

Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015
We are committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.
We are an equal opportunities employer, committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.
Our recruitment, selection policy and management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees have the legal rights to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.
We do not engage in business with any organisation, in the UK or any other part of the world, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.
Our Supply Chain
We assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains, due to the nature of our business and services we provide.
Our supply chains are limited, and we procure goods and services mainly through UK government frameworks.
Due to the nature of the supply chain, Modern Slavery risks are inherently higher in the hardware and peripheral item category, as the production process relies on factory labour.
We take additional steps to manage the risk in hardware and peripheral item category procurement, by sourcing products from recognisable brands and reputable resellers, with evidenced processes and policies in place along with products/ suppliers that are assessed based on the country of origin. Countries and regions are assessed for risk based on the Global Slavery Index, taking into consideration the latest updates from The Department for International Trade.
