Modern slavery
Iress’ zero tolerance for modern slavery is communicated to all suppliers, contractors, and business partners at the outset of those business relationships, and reinforced thereafter. Iress has a Supplier Code of Conduct which requires suppliers to ensure they comply with the terms of the Acts. Iress is required to report on compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (UK)—the UK Modern Slavery Act, and the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)—the Australian Modern Slavery Act.

Wear it Purple Day
At Iress, we strongly believe in creating a diverse and inclusive environment where people feel supported to be their authentic selves at work. This is one of the reasons why we celebrate the annual Wear it Purple Day in support of rainbow (LGBTQIA+) youth in Australia.
"When I was going through my own journey as a young LGBTQIA+ person, it was a time in my life when I felt the most alone as I desperately tried to make sense of my feelings and hide a secret I didn't want anyone to know. Wear it Purple Day reminds me and hopefully other young LGBTQIA+ people, that we are not alone".
