Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, Datasite LLC (“Datasite”) is the preeminent leader for providing cloud-based technology to participants in the M&A lifecycle. Our business solution applications and services bring together parties from all points on the globe to make deals happen faster, easier and with greater security.

Datasite is serious about our products and serious about our commitment to corporate social responsibility wherever and whenever we engage in business. Datasite recognizes that this commitment must also include actions intended to lead to the eradication of slavery and human trafficking worldwide.

Structure, Business and Supply Chain

The Datasite Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking policy statement applies to all employees of Datasite, and its worldwide affiliates and subsidiary legal entities. In performance of its core business, Datasite engages with suppliers, vendors, contractors, partners and other entities or individuals who perform services or provide resources for Datasite and its subsidiaries. Datasite intends that the policy herein be applied to any entity that works with Datasite.

Policies On Slavery and Human Trafficking

Datasite has a responsibility to be alert to slavery and human trafficking in our business and in our work with third party vendors and suppliers. Our Anti-Slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, Datasite is committed to building and maintaining long-standing relationships with qualified customers, third party vendors and suppliers and to make clear our expectations of business behavior. In furtherance of these goals, Datasite has in place systems to identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains, monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains, and an Ethics hotline program to both encourage reporting and protect whistleblowers.

Supplier Adherence to Our Values and Ethics

With regards to our national or international vendors or suppliers, we expect these entities to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes. We expect each entity in the supply chain to adopt ‘one-up’ due diligence on the next link in the chain. Datasite has zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. We expect all those that we engage in business with to comply with our values and the law.

Training

To ensure the utmost respect for human rights and compliance with current social legislation we make this Policy available to our employees and third-party suppliers and provide annual training to all employees. In addition, modern slavery and human trafficking is included in Datasite’s annual Compliance training on a rotating basis.
