Modern Slavery
This Modern Slavery Declaration of Commitment sets out our vision to contribute towards eliminating modern slavery, globally.
Our commitment
Modern slavery is an unconscionable violation of human rights. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that our operations, activities, supply chains, joint ventures and investments are scrupulous in avoiding modern slavery and other human rights harms while ensuring that our staff, suppliers and partners respect and share our commitments to uphold human rights.
In all our endeavours, we will operate on dignity, equality, and mutual respect within a human rights framework. We will act consistently with the Protect, Respect, Remedy framework in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We expect all employees of Compass to uphold their personal responsibilities and respect human rights.
About this policy
This page serves as both Compass IoT's Anti-Slavery Policy and our Modern Slavery Statement. It sets out our approach to identifying and addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain.
The Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 requires entities with annual consolidated revenue of AU$100 million or more to report annually on modern slavery risks. As a smaller entity, Compass IoT is not currently a mandatory reporting entity under the Act. We publish this statement voluntarily as a matter of principle and in response to the due diligence requirements of our enterprise customers and partners.
Definition
Modern slavery is a term used to describe serious exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain. It encompasses a range of severe human rights abuses including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, child labour, deceptive recruiting, and slavery-like practices.
Under the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, modern slavery includes the following types of serious exploitation:
Our business
Compass IoT is an Australian technology company that provides connected vehicle data and road intelligence software to transport authorities, government agencies and private companies across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and North America.
Our primary operations involve software development, data science, and commercial activities. We are a relatively small organisation employing skilled knowledge workers in a professional office environment. Our workforce is engaged through standard employment contracts subject to Australian employment law, with conditions that meet or exceed applicable minimum standards.
Supply chain
Compass IoT's supply chain is primarily composed of large, established technology providers. We do not manufacture physical goods and do not engage in industries historically associated with high modern slavery risk.
Our key supply chain relationships include cloud infrastructure providers, software vendors, professional services firms, and OEM data partners. The majority of our suppliers are themselves publicly listed companies or large organisations subject to their own mandatory modern slavery reporting obligations.
Risk assessment
Given the nature of our business — technology and data services with no physical manufacturing — our overall modern slavery risk is assessed as low. The highest relative risk sits within our OEM data partner relationships, where supply chains extend into automotive manufacturing. We mitigate this through partner due diligence and by working only with established, publicly accountable organisations.
Risk management
We assess modern slavery risk as part of our broader vendor onboarding and procurement process. When engaging new suppliers or partners, we consider the nature of their operations, the jurisdictions in which they operate, and any sector-specific risk indicators.
Our due diligence approach includes:
We acknowledge that our due diligence processes are proportionate to our size and risk profile. As our business grows and our supply chain expands, we are committed to enhancing these processes accordingly.
Policy commitments
Compass IoT is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships. The following commitments apply to our employees, contractors, and supply chain:
Reporting
Compass IoT encourages anyone — employees, contractors, suppliers, or members of the public — who has a concern about potential modern slavery in our operations or supply chain to report it.
Concerns can be raised by emailing trust@compassiot.com with the subject line "Modern Slavery Concern", or directly with any member of the Compass IoT leadership team.
Approval
This Modern Slavery and Anti-Slavery Statement has been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of Compass IoT Pty Ltd. It will be reviewed annually and updated to reflect changes in our operations, supply chain, and risk environment.
This Modern Slavery and Anti-Slavery Statement was approved in January 2026 and will be reviewed regularly, or sooner if material changes occur to our operations or supply chain.
