Modern Slavery Act

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Carta (as defined below) has taken during the financial year ending 2025 to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains.

“Carta” refers to eShares, Inc. d/b/a Carta, Inc and its affiliates, including, amongst others, Carta Law Limited. Carta is a technology company that provides equity management and cap table solutions, fund administration services, and liquidity infrastructure for companies, investors and employees. Carta Law Limited is a law firm providing legal and law related services and is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA no. 655756). Carta operates globally from offices across multiple jurisdictions. This statement is published on behalf of Carta globally.

As a provider of the services mentioned above, we do not have long or complex supply chains - our main suppliers are providers of office supplies and support services (such as reprographics, transcription services, printing and scanning), IT and technology services and equipment and facilities management. We are nevertheless committed to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within both our business and our supply chain. We expect all of our suppliers to conduct their business in a lawful and ethical manner, including adopting business practices that prevent or eliminate modern slavery and human trafficking from taking place.

We develop relationships with our suppliers, and trust and transparency is embedded in everything we do. This is key to our approach to corporate responsibility, and in turn, combating modern slavery.

We also require our suppliers, both current and prospective, to achieve certain standards in areas such as information risk, management of employees, legislative compliance, business continuity and environmental standards. If we identify a supplier or prospective supplier as being at risk of not achieving these standards (including in relation to compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015) then we work with them to address the risks. If we are not able to agree on a resolution, this may lead to us ending our relationship with them.

We have reviewed our procurement process to ensure consistency in our approach to engaging with suppliers and more transparency of their ways of working. We place a greater emphasis on corporate responsibility, environmental and diversity requirements. These reviews are ongoing so that we can ensure continuous improvement.

Whilst we develop our approach to combating modern slavery and human trafficking we will continue to assess and manage any risks on an on-going basis. We will continue to apply the same high ethical standards to both our employees and suppliers with clear accountability for failing to meet them.
