Ethical operations & human rights
Modern Slavery Statement
This statement sets out Velohost’s commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking within its operations and supply chain.
Effective date: 01 January 2026
1. Introduction
Velohost UK Limited (“Velohost”, “we”, “our”) is committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and in a manner that respects fundamental human rights.
Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of human dignity. It includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. Velohost has zero tolerance for such practices.
2. Our business and structure
Velohost operates as a technology platform providing internet infrastructure, diagnostic, automation, and compliance tools.
At the time of this statement, Velohost does not employ staff directly. Our services are delivered through a combination of internally developed software and third-party infrastructure, hosting, and development platforms.
3. Our commitment and values
Although Velohost does not maintain a traditional workforce, we recognise our responsibility to operate ethically and take reasonable steps to ensure that modern slavery does not occur within our supply chain.
Our approach is guided by:
- Respect for human rights and dignity
- Transparency in operations and disclosures
- Engagement with reputable, established providers
- Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
4. Supply chain and service providers
Velohost’s supply chain consists primarily of globally recognised technology and infrastructure providers. These organisations operate independently and publish their own ethical and modern slavery policies.
- Cloudflare – Modern Slavery Act Statement
- IONOS (United Internet Group) – Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement
- Fasthosts (United Internet Group) – Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement
- Expo (development tooling) – Terms & related policies
- Plesk – Legal & policy overview
- GitHub (Microsoft) – Statement Against Modern Slavery & Child Labor
Velohost does not control these organisations but selects providers based on reputation, transparency, and alignment with ethical and legal standards.
5. Due diligence and risk assessment
Given the nature of Velohost’s services, the risk of modern slavery within our direct operations is considered low.
We mitigate risk by:
- Using established, regulated service providers
- Reviewing publicly available ethical disclosures
- Maintaining contractual expectations of lawful conduct
