Modern slavery statement

Last updated 28 July 2026

Corpshore Emirates, a Corpshore Solutions company delivering from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is part of a group that operates across more than eighteen countries. We make this statement voluntarily to set out our position against modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in our own operations and in our supply chain, and to describe the steps we take to keep them out. We are not willing to profit from the exploitation of any person, and we expect the same of everyone we work with.

Modern slavery takes many forms, including forced or compulsory labour, bonded or debt labour, human trafficking, servitude and the worst forms of exploitation of workers. It is a crime and a serious abuse of human dignity. This statement is a commitment rather than a legal advice document, and it sits alongside our ethical recruitment and labour standards and our whistleblowing policy.

Our business

We deliver business process outsourcing, information technology outsourcing and artificial intelligence services. That work relies on people, on recruitment across borders and on a network of suppliers that provide labour, facilities, technology and support services. Because our workforce is international and because outsourcing draws on migrant labour, we treat the risk of exploitation as real and we manage it rather than assume it away.

Where the risks sit

In a multi-country outsourcing and recruitment business the higher-risk areas are reasonably clear, and naming them is the first step to managing them:

Cross-border recruitment, where a worker moving between countries can be exposed to recruitment fees, false promises or the substitution of a contract on arrival.
Labour supply chains, where a subagent or a labour supplier several steps away from us may not hold to the standards we set.
Low-visibility support services, such as cleaning, catering, security and transport, where workers can be less protected.
The retention of passports, identity documents or wages as a means of control.
Debt bondage, where a worker is tied to an employer by a debt created through fees or inflated charges for accommodation or transport.

Due diligence and ethical recruitment

Our first defence is how we recruit. We apply the employer-pays principle, which means no worker and no candidate ever pays a fee to be recruited, placed or employed by us or by anyone acting for us. We give every worker a clear written contract before they start, in a language they understand, and the terms they accept are the terms they work under. We do not permit contract substitution.

We do not hold the passport or the personal documents of any worker as a condition of employment. We pay wages in full and on time through the channels the law requires, and for employment in the United Arab Emirates that means the Wage Protection System, so that pay is recorded and traceable. We carry out right-to-work checks so that every person we employ is entitled to do the job, and we make sure a worker is free to leave their employment in line with their contract and the law. These measures are set out in fuller detail in our ethical recruitment and labour standards.

What we expect of our suppliers

We expect every supplier, recruiter, labour provider and subcontractor who works with us to hold to the same standards we hold ourselves to. That means no fees charged to workers, transparent contracts, wages paid in full and on time, no retention of documents, safe conditions and no forced or trafficked labour anywhere in their own operations or supply chain.

We make these expectations part of how we select and work with suppliers, and we reserve the right to seek assurances, to review an arrangement and to end a relationship where a supplier will not meet the standard or will not let us check. Where we find a problem our first aim is to see it put right and to see the affected workers protected and made whole, rather than simply to walk away and leave the harm behind.

Training and awareness

A policy only works if people can recognise a problem and know what to do about it. We raise awareness of modern slavery among the people who recruit, who manage suppliers and who lead teams, so that they can spot the warning signs, such as a worker who does not control their own documents, who cannot speak freely or whose pay does not reach them in full. We make clear that anyone who sees a sign of exploitation is expected to report it, and we make it safe to do so.

Reporting a concern

If you believe that modern slavery, forced labour or human trafficking is happening in our operations or our supply chain, tell us. You can raise a concern in confidence, and anonymously if you prefer, through our whistleblowing policy at /legal/whistleblowing-policy, which explains the channels, the confidentiality we apply and the protection from retaliation for anyone who speaks up. You can also reach us at info@corpshore.ae. We take every such report seriously and we act on it.

Review of this statement

We keep this statement under review and we update it as our operation grows and as our understanding of the risks develops. We treat the effort to keep exploitation out of our business as ongoing work rather than a box to be ticked once. The date at the top reflects the most recent update.
