OUR STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS
The ultimate parent of the Veritone group of companies is Veritone, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has its principal business address at 5291 California Avenue, Suite 350, Irvine, CA 92617.
This Statement is issued on behalf of Veritone, Inc. and each of its affiliates which have been judged to meet the criteria for the UK Modern Slavery Act ‘transparency requirement’ and the Australia Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)(together, the “Modern Slavery Acts”), namely:
(collectively, the “Covered Affiliates”). For the avoidance of doubt, references to “Veritone”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Statement are to Veritone, Inc., and each of the Covered Affiliates.
We presently have approximately 480 employees worldwide across our entire group of companies. We operate mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, other parts of Europe, Israel, Australia and India. Our global headquarters is located in the United States.
Preparation of this Statement and our efforts to comply with the requirements of the Modern Slavery Acts are managed by our legal department. During the reporting period this Statement covers, we actively engaged and consulted with our Covered Affiliates in the development of this Statement. We discussed details of the Modern Slavery Acts’ reporting requirements, information regarding the actions we intend to take to address these requirements and provided our Covered Affiliates with relevant materials and updates sufficient to enable us to develop and complete this Statement.
OUR SUPPLIERS
Typically, our major suppliers fall into one of the broad categories outlined below:
MODERN SLAVERY RISKS
We provide AI solutions and services. Accordingly, as part of our core business, we do not “manufacture” our solutions in the traditional meaning of that word (i.e., through the use of workers using materials and machines in factories), nor do we engage anyone in our supply chains to perform
any such “manufacturing” on our behalf.
On this basis and having taken the time to consider the nature of our operations and our supply chains, we currently consider the Modern Slavery risk they present to be relatively low.
OUR POLICIES
Despite our assessment that the Modern Slavery risk presented by our operations and supply chains is low, we are committed in our absolute opposition to Modern Slavery, and we have committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.
PARTNER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES AND ETHICS
Due to the low risk of Modern Slavery being present in our supply chains, we have not establishedactive systems to perform diligence or audits on our suppliers to mitigate that risk at this time. We recognize that the review and assessment of our actions to assess and identify Modern Slavery risks in our business operations and supply chain is an ongoing process. We intend to review the risk level of Modern Slavery in our operations and supply chains annually and will take further steps to address Modern Slavery risks as and if we deem them necessary. To this end, we set ourselves annual goals that we can look back on each year to assess the effectiveness of our approach and inform our way forward.
FURTHER STEPS
During the coming financial year, we plan to:
Monitor and review our assessment of the Modern Slavery risks our operations and supply chains present.
APPROVAL
