This Code sets out the minimum standards we expect of every organisation that provides goods, services, or labour to TalaStar Digital. It reflects our belief that ethical responsibility extends beyond our own walls — into every relationship that supports our work.
Effective: 1 April 2026 · Version 1.0
TalaStar Digital Ltd is an early-stage technology company with a small, primarily digital supply chain. We publish this Supplier Code of Conduct not because we manage a complex global supply network, but because we believe the right time to establish ethical expectations is before they become urgent — not after. As we grow, this Code will grow with us. We apply it proportionately, recognising that a cloud hosting provider and a freelance designer present different risk profiles.
This Code applies to all organisations and individuals that supply goods, services, technology, or labour to TalaStar Digital Ltd, including but not limited to:
We also expect our suppliers to communicate these principles to their own subcontractors and supply chains, proportionate to the nature of their engagement.
PRINCIPLE 01
PRINCIPLE 02
PRINCIPLE 03
PRINCIPLE 04
PRINCIPLE 05
PRINCIPLE 06
Upon engagement, suppliers are invited to complete a self-assessment questionnaire covering each principle area. This is not a pass/fail gate — it is a starting point for dialogue.
We assess supplier risk proportionate to the nature, value, and sensitivity of the engagement. A cloud hosting provider faces different scrutiny than a data annotation service.
We prefer collaborative improvement over punitive enforcement. If a supplier falls short of our expectations, we will work with them to develop a remediation plan with reasonable timelines.
Where a supplier demonstrates unwillingness to address material non-compliance, or where violations involve forced labour, child labour, or serious data breaches, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship immediately.
If you are a supplier, a worker within a supplier organisation, or a member of the public, and you have concerns about a violation of this Code, we encourage you to report it:

Modern Slavery Concerns: UK Modern Slavery Helpline (08000 121 700)
All reports will be treated confidentially. We will not tolerate retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith.
This Supplier Code of Conduct has been approved by the sole director of TalaStar Digital Ltd. It will be reviewed annually and updated as our operations and supply chain evolve.
