ANSYS UK LTD
MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2024
This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Ansys UK Ltd has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.
About Ansys
Ansys is the leader in engineering simulation software. We help visionaries solve the world’s most complex and meaningful problems. By offering a broad portfolio of engineering simulation software, we help innovative companies accelerate the creation of more efficient and longer lasting products at a lower cost.
Our deep simulation capabilities span the physics of structures, fluids, and electromagnetics as well as areas like semiconductors, photonics, embedded software, and materials. We connect those physics across disciplines and departments with solutions for simulation product data management (SPDM), optimization, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). To amplify the benefits of simulation, we augment our technologies with artificial intelligence and make them accessible via the cloud to improve engineering efficiency, support collaboration, and accelerate innovation. Our solutions can predict real-world product behavior – a result of our decades of experience in helping customers tackle their product challenges.
Ansys UK Ltd employs just over 400 professionals and licenses software and provides associated services to customers from a board range of industries including automotive, aerospace, construction, energy, high-tech, telecom, consumer goods and healthcare. Most of our suppliers are based in the UK but some of them are located internationally.
Our Policies and Procedures
We maintain a number of internal policies and procedures to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and our core values set the expectations for our business conduct and guide us to do what’s right. Additionally, we expect our suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Human Rights Policy sets forth our position in alignment with internationally recognized human rights principles.
Employment:
- Robust recruitment processes in line with UK employment laws, including: ‘right to work’ document checks; contracts of employment and checks to ensure everyone employed is 16 and above.
- Market-related pay and reward, which is reviewed annually.
- Wellbeing activities and initiatives to support employees’ physical and mental wellbeing and lifestyle choices.
- Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics acknowledges and prohibits practices such as human trafficking, physical abuse of workers, or any form of child labour.
Training:
Ansys UK has a compliance training program for Ansys UK employees and for third parties Ansys UK has a business relationship with that is continuously maintained. This compliance training program covers a broad range of areas including business ethics.
An examination of the Ansys UK supply chain:
Over 240 suppliers were identified for 2024. Those whom Ansys UK pays £100,000 and above (62% of total spend) have been mapped according to location, size and industry, to identify potential indicators of slavery. Of these:
- 100% are located within the UK or other low-risk countries.
- 47% are companies with an annual turnover of >£36m or local authorities and are therefore covered by the Modern Slavery Act requirements.
- 0% are companies in high-risk sectors such as hospitality and leisure, service, retail, construction, and food and beverage industries.
There is an ongoing effort to establish:
- Key suppliers’ confirmation of compliance to the Modern Slavery Act through their own modern slavery statements as part of the future Critical Vendor due diligence process.
- A responsible Procurement Policy, which includes commitment to and focus on suppliers’ ethical supply chain(s).
- Both the Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct will be reviewed periodically, and updated as and when deemed appropriate by Ansys UK, to ensure they are continually developed and remain fit for purpose.
Grievance Mechanisms
The Ansys Ethics Line is a 24/7 ethics helpline available to all Ansys employees, customers, suppliers, contractors, and other business associates. The Ethics Line is available anywhere in the world. Reports to the Ansys Ethics Line may be made anonymously to the extent allowed by local law. Retaliation is strictly prohibited at Ansys. Employees who come forward with concerns play an important role in maintaining a healthy, respectful, and productive workplace, as well as protecting our stakeholders.
