Parallel’s operations are undertaken in the Philippines.
Our supply chain
We have a simple supply chain.
We use the partners for the following services in the Philippines:
- The provision of office space and meeting rooms
- Legal services
- Accounting services
Our operations team is primarily based in the Philippines.
We establish a relationship of trust with all our suppliers and our supplier selection criteria include ensuring an alignment of integrity and values with those of Parallel.
Area of high risk
The operations base of Parallel is in the Philippines and we identify that this is a location where there is a higher prevalence of slavery and poor employment conditions and have therefore implemented policies and procedures to ensure this does not occur within our business and strive to be an employer with a great culture where our Philippine based staff love to work:
- Parallel is dedicated to upholding all aspects of Philippine labour law to ensure staff are protected
- All employment contracts with both Parallel operational staff and our client staff comply with standard Philippine labour law including extended leave periods
- We closely monitor the work hours of our staff to ensure they are not overworked and are getting appropriate work breaks
Commitment to act on modern slavery practices
We are committed to ensuring that all our suppliers have not adopted any unethical practices including human trafficking and slavery activities.
Should we become aware of any such practices within our supply chain we would immediately cut ties with the supplier and report the companies to the appropriate authority.
We will continue to uphold these practices in the future and are committed to reducing modern slavery practices within our industry.
