Modern Slavery Statement
Introduction
Callsign opposes all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. We recognize our responsibility to uphold human rights and are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in all aspects of our business.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2016 and Federal Decree-Law No. (24) of 2023 on Combating Human Trafficking: This updated and repealed the landmark Federal Law No. (51) of 2006.
Our Business
The Callsign group of companies provide a digital identity platform that uses AI for positive identification of users. The business has a global footprint with key operating bases in the UK, UAE and United States.
