Our stance against modern slavery and forced labour:
We respect human rights and the dignity and worth of others. We do not tolerate prohibited employment practices, child labour, or human trafficking. We expect any party we do business with to share these commitments and practice business with integrity.
As a professional service provider, Renaissance Learning UK Limited and its subsidiaries operate in an industry that is not deemed to be high-risk for modern slavery practices. Nevertheless, we take steps to identify and reduce potential risks within our operations and supply chains through the following measures.

- Recruitment processes requiring compliance with immigration and employment laws.
- Ethical employment practices where all work is voluntary and without any form of coercion.
- Employment policies that protect our people from unfair treatment and promote a fair and inclusive workplace.
- Seek and value employee feedback through surveys to improve our workplace.
