Modern Slavery Act Statement

Last Updated

This statement is made by Vercel Inc. pursuant to Section 54(1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act of 2015 (the Act) for the financial year ended 31 January 2026, and covers its owned and controlled entity Vercel UK Ltd (collectively with Vercel Inc., “Vercel”).

Vercel is committed to conducting our business ethically and responsibly and improving our practices to combat modern slavery in our business by taking steps, to the extent we are able, to ensure that our supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking. We recognize the importance of the Act and the role we play in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business operations and supply chains.

This statement sets out the steps we have taken to understand potential modern slavery risks within our business structure and supply chain, as well as the steps taken to address and mitigate these risks. References to “we” or “our” in this statement are references to Vercel.

Vercel

Vercel is a cloud platform that enables developers to build, deploy, host, and scale websites, web applications, and AI agents. Vercel provides services including web and application hosting, content delivery via a global edge network, domain management, serverless and “fluid” compute, support for front-end and back-end frameworks, and developer tools. Vercel also offers a suite of AI and agent infrastructure products, including the v0 AI application-building product.

Vercel opposes modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms and supports the UK and US governments' efforts to prohibit such trafficking in persons. We do not tolerate any form of slavery, forced labor, or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We are committed to ensuring that our business is conducted in an ethical manner, which includes respecting human rights and avoiding any involvement, directly or indirectly, with slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking.


Our Supply Chain

Vercel has its headquarters in San Francisco and a largely distributed, global workforce.

Our supply chain primarily consists of goods and services, including but not limited to, computing and software services, event planning, catering services, IT equipment, recruitment agencies, purchase of retail items, office supplies, office cleaning services, food and beverage, leasing of facilities, such as office space and data centers, and professional services, such as legal and accounting firms.

We have reviewed our supply chain and believe the overall risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our organization to be low on the basis of:

  • The nature of Vercel's business model. We are not subject to sudden changes in workload or pricing pressures that can increase the risk of forced labor in supply chains.

  • The nature of our products and services. We do not conduct manufacturing or produce hardware, nor does Vercel offer services often performed by migrant workers.

  • The locations from which we operate and procure goods and services for our products. We offer free and paid web-based platform-as-a-service to customers all over the world, mostly in developed markets.

  • Our procurement practices. We agree to reasonable terms and ensure timely payment for our suppliers.


Our Policies on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain or in any part of our business. Our internal policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chain.

We strive to provide competitive compensation and benefits to our employees and contractors regardless of location. This is true whether we hire independent contractors directly or through an intermediary.

Additionally, every employee has the right to raise concerns about values, ethics and professional conduct without fear of retaliation. Employees are encouraged to raise concerns relating to potential violations of laws, policies, professional standards and values, in a confidential manner, through clearly defined internal channels and anonymously, where legally permissible. If employees are unsure or have questions about the risk of modern slavery or human trafficking, they are able to consult their manager, the executive team, human resources, legal, and ask anonymously through a third-party application.


Risk Assessment and Due Diligence Processes

Although our direct exposure to supply chain risks may be limited due to the nature of our business and operations, we recognize the importance of being proactive. To help identify and monitor the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain we have established a supplier due diligence process to assess our third-party relationships through a standard risk profiling and assessment process. We require suppliers to fully comply with applicable laws and expect them to enact practices to ensure compliance with such laws. We maintain a Business Partner Code of Conduct, available through our Trust Center, which sets out our expectations for third parties conducting business with Vercel. It prohibits forced labor, child labor, modern slavery, and human trafficking, requires business partners to uphold fair labor and human rights standards, and to report suspected violations. We seek to reflect these expectations, or equivalent standards, in our supplier engagement and contracting processes.

We have also raised awareness of risks related to slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain with our employees who manage the procurement and supplier vetting process. To date, we have not identified any modern slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chain and have no credible basis to believe that it is occurring.


Ongoing Steps

Vercel is fully committed to fulfilling our responsibilities under the Act.

We acknowledge the importance of awareness and education in combating modern slavery and human trafficking. All personnel are required to read, understand, and abide by our Code of Conduct, which expressly prohibits slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain and requires them to report any concerns to their manager or HR business partner. This helps ensure our people are aware of these risks and of their responsibility to identify and report them. We are developing targeted training for employees involved in procurement and supplier management to further strengthen these efforts.

We understand the importance of maintaining transparency and are dedicated to continuously improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. We will regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure they are effective and aligned with our commitment to ethical business conduct.

Any concerns and/or complaints arising under or related to the Act should be reported to legalnotices@vercel.com.


Assessing Effectiveness

We keep the effectiveness of our approach under review, drawing on information arising from our supplier due diligence and risk assessment processes, our internal reporting channels, and any relevant supplier or employee escalations. During the financial year, we did not identify any instances of modern slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chain. We continue to strengthen how we monitor the effectiveness of our controls, including our supplier due diligence and training activity.
