Introduction

MOST Architecture is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in our business practices. We recognize the importance of identifying and addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. As a small architectural practice based in the UK, we are committed to ensuring that our activities do not contribute to or support modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in any form.
This statement is made in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, which requires us to outline the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain. It applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers involved in the provision of architectural services.

Our Business

MOST Architecture provides architectural design services, focusing on sustainable and innovative building solutions. We operate in the UK, working with a network of trusted suppliers, contractors, and partners to deliver our projects.
As a small practice, we have a relatively limited supply chain but are committed to ensuring that our business and its partners adhere to ethical practices and comply with all applicable laws relating to human rights and employment.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

• Ensuring transparency in our operations and supply chain.
• Preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms.
• Promoting fair and ethical working practices throughout our business.
• Continuously monitoring and reviewing our supply chain to identify and address any risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking.

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

Due to the nature of our business, the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our immediate supply chain is considered low. However, we recognize that risks may exist in some areas, particularly within larger, global supply chains that provide materials, products, or services for our projects. To mitigate these risks, we:

Vet all new suppliers to ensure they are compliant with UK employment laws and ethical standards.

• Prioritize suppliers who have clear policies and practices addressing modern slavery and human trafficking.
• Regularly review the policies and procedures of existing suppliers to ensure continued compliance.
• Require all contractors and subcontractors we engage with to demonstrate their commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking through appropriate contracts and agreements.

Training and Awareness

To ensure that our team is equipped to identify and respond to modern slavery and human trafficking risks, we provide training on these issues to all employees, especially those involved in procurement and supply chain management. This training includes recognizing the signs of modern slavery, reporting procedures, and understanding the legal implications of non-compliance.
Performance Monitoring and Accountability
We will monitor and review our practices annually to assess the effectiveness of the actions we have taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. Any concerns or violations identified will be addressed promptly, with corrective actions taken where necessary.
If any incidents of modern slavery or human trafficking are identified within our operations or supply chains, we will take immediate action to investigate, mitigate, and remedy the situation. We are committed to working with relevant authorities and stakeholders to address such matters.

Outcomes

At MOST Architecture we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We recognize the importance of maintaining a transparent, ethical, and responsible approach to our business operations and will continue to work towards eliminating these practices from our supply chains.
This statement has been approved by Olga McMurdo, ARB, RIBA, Sole Founder and Director of MOST Architecture and it will be reviewed annually.
