Modern Day Slavery Statement 2022/23
Slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking (modern slavery) are issues of increasing global concern, affecting all sectors, regions and economies. Modern slavery is fundamentally unacceptable within our business and the supply chain, and is a key focus in our overall approach to business and human rights.
Multicast Audio Limited are committed to respecting, protecting and championing the human rights of all those who come into contact with our operations, including employees, temporary workers, customers and local communities. We accept our responsibility to support transparency and honesty; to find and resolve problems, and to work with others to protect the rights of workers, particularly those who are most vulnerable to abuses such as modern slavery.
This statement has been published in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act (2015). It sets out the steps Multicast Audio Limited will take during the year, ending 30th April 2023 to prevent modern slavery in our business operations and supply chains.

Business Structure
