1. Public Commitment & Core Principles
Eventcube is committed to upholding the dignity, liberty, and fundamental rights of all individuals impacted by our operations, platform, and ecosystem. We recognise our responsibility as an employer to respect human rights and formally align our business practices, governance structures, and external partnerships with the following international frameworks:
- The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: We commit to preventing, mitigating, and addressing human rights abuses in our direct operations and across our broader value chain.
- The International Bill of Human Rights: We embrace the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ensuring equality, non-discrimination, and fairness across our digital ecosystem.
- The International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work: We strictly uphold core labour standards, including the prohibition of forced labour, child labour, and workplace discrimination, while actively protecting freedom of association and fair working conditions.
This commitment statement is approved by Eventcube’s Board of Directors and Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and applies universally across our internal staff management, customer relationships, and procurement operations.
2. Client & Project Human Rights Due Diligence
As a ticketing and virtual events provider, Eventcube recognises that the organisations and projects utilising our software can have a direct or indirect impact on human rights. To prevent our platform from being used to facilitate harm, we enforce a strict human rights screening process for potential clients and major software projects.
A. The Assessment Process
Prior to onboarding major event organisers or signing large-scale enterprise contracts, the operations team evaluates potential clients for negative human rights impacts. The screening criteria specifically check for:
- Exclusionary Content & Harassment: Risks of hate speech, incitement to violence, or systemic discrimination being promoted via events hosted on Eventcube infrastructure.
- Data Privacy & Surveillance: Risks of exploitative data collection targeting vulnerable ticket buyers or end-users.
- Labour & Supply Chain Exposure: Ensuring physical event production partners (e.g. large festival clients) do not rely on exploitative or unsafe casual labour practices.
B. Mitigation Framework
If a potential client or project is flagged during the screening phase, Eventcube implements immediate mitigation actions:
- Contractual Safeguards: Embedding strict code-of-conduct and non-discrimination clauses within our software service agreements.
- Platform Constraints: Disabling specific automated tracking or data collection features on the client's hub to protect user privacy.
- Conditional Rejection: If the human rights risks cannot be adequately mitigated, Eventcube exercises its right to refuse platform access.
C. Annual Logging & Accountability
- The Materiality Register: Each fiscal year, Eventcube formally logs the human rights assessments and outcomes of its three most material potential clients or projects (defined by target contract value or projected transaction volume). This annual register tracks the initial risk profile, the specific mitigation actions taken, and the final onboarding decision.
- Long-Term Effectiveness (Years 3 & 5): For subsequent audit horizons, Eventcube expands this register to explicitly record the ongoing effectiveness of our chosen mitigations, tracking whether the implemented contract clauses or platform restrictions successfully prevented human rights violations throughout the project's lifespan.
3. Procurement & Supplier Human Rights Screening
Eventcube acknowledges that its purchasing decisions, particularly regarding digital infrastructure, server hosting, software subscriptions, and hardware procurement, may have potential human rights implications.
A. Procurement Assessment Workflow
To ensure our supply chain mirrors our core values, Eventcube integrates human rights due diligence directly into its purchasing lifecycle. This screening evaluates critical vendors for:
- Fair wages, safe workplace conditions, and standard working hours.
- Zero reliance on forced, indentured, or modern slave labour.
- Strict adherence to data ethics and privacy protections.
B. Annual Materiality Tracking
- Each year, Eventcube identifies its three most material procurement decisions (based on total financial expenditure, such as our primary cloud hosting infrastructure, external development agencies, or key office software suites).
- The SLT reviews and records the human rights standards of these top three suppliers prior to contract execution or renewal, ensuring that corporate spend is intentionally directed toward ethical, compliant businesses.
4. Framework Governance & Auditing
- Policy Ownership: Ultimate responsibility for enforcing this Human Rights Framework lies with the Head of Operations, with strategic oversight from the Board of Directors.
- Review Cycle: This policy text and the underlying risk registers are reviewed at least once every 12 months during the year-end leadership meeting to ensure our screening metrics adapt to new international standards and digital compliance laws.
5. Governance, Accessibility, and Review Cycle
Public Accessibility
This Climate Action Plan is a living public document. It is hosted transparently on our public website accessible via the website footer to ensure complete accountability to our users, partners, and the wider public.
Leadership Approval & Review Cycle
- Approval: This framework has been formally reviewed, verified, and approved by Eventcube’s highest governing body; the Board of Directors and Senior Leadership Team (SLT).
- 36-Month Review Mandate: To ensure our strategies adapt to evolving climate science and technological capabilities, this plan will be formally re-evaluated, updated, and re-published at least once every 36 months (3 years).
