Modern Slavery Statement
Last Updated: August 21, 2024
This Modern Slavery Act Transparency Statement (the “Statement”) is made on behalf of Sprinklr, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Sprinklr”). We are publishing this Statement in accordance with the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act of 2015 and all other applicable laws and regulations (collectively, “Modern Slavery Laws”) as a demonstration of our commitment to anti-slavery practices and an affirmation of the values we hold and adopt across our business.
Sprinklr is dedicated to ethical and responsible business operations and strives to ensure that the way we conduct business reflects our values and belief that everyone should be treated with dignity and mutual respect in an environment free from harassment and discrimination. We are committed to practices that combat modern slavery and human trafficking, and to working with and encouraging any suppliers to uphold the principles in this statement, as well as Sprinklr’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
This Statement is given for the financial year ending 31 January 2025 and sets out the steps taken during the financial year to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in Sprinklr’s business and supply chains.
Modern Slavery is a term used to encapsulate offences in the Modern Slavery Act 2015: slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labor; and human trafficking. These three terms are defined below:
a) “Slavery” and “Servitude” mean where people are dehumanized, treated as a commodity, bought or sold as “property”, have restrictions placed on their freedom or are generally exploited for someone else’s gain. Slavery often involves Forced or Compulsory Labor.
b) “Forced or Compulsory Labor” means where someone is forced to work, or is otherwise controlled by an “employer”, through coercion, mental or physical abuse, or the threat of abuse.
c) “Human trafficking” relates to arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited. The offence can be committed even where the victim consents to the travel.
Sprinklr's Modern Slavery Policy Statement
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
Sprinklr has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Sprinklr is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls, to help ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or in any of our supply chains.
Sprinklr is also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout its supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under Modern Slavery Laws. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners. As part of Sprinklr's contracting processes, Sprinklr includes specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labor, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children, and Sprinklr expects and requires that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards. Suppliers are also obligated to comply with Sprinklr’s Supplier Code of Conduct or an internal code of conduct that is substantially aligned in all material respects with Sprinklr’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, trustees, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives, suppliers and business partners, all of whom have a duty to comply with this and other policies designed to prevent modern slavery.

Our Supply Chain and Vendors
As a social media management and customer support cloud-based SaaS platform, Sprinklr does not have an active supply chain of consequence. Sprinklr does not handle raw materials, operate factories, or engage in the manufacture of goods. As a result, Sprinklr’s key suppliers are primarily focused on software, data and cloud storage, office facilities and supplies, professional services, and marketing technology. As a result, the risk of modern slavery within Sprinklr’s supply chain is low.
Despite this low risk, Sprinklr remains vigilant, and we do not tolerate slavery, human trafficking, or other human rights abuses within our supply chain. We expect all entities within our supply chain to uphold the same high standards Sprinklr has set internally, including striving to ensure that all employees are treated with dignity and respect in a fair and ethical environment. Sprinklr’s relationships with third parties are governed by written contracts, and any new suppliers undergo due diligence through Sprinklr’s robust and cross functional Procurement Process. Suppliers are also obligated to comply with Sprinklr’s Supplier Code of Conduct or an internal code of conduct that is substantially aligned in all material respects with Sprinklr’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
Sprinklr endeavors to review potential areas of risk in relation to our business, and supplier relationships are subject to ongoing review. Sprinklr will continue to manage any identified risks by building on the principles included within Sprinklr’s governance, and Sprinklr will not knowingly work with a supplier involved in (or suspected to be involved in) modern slavery or human trafficking.
Looking Ahead
We will continue to monitor and develop our practices in respect of combatting slavery or human trafficking. Sprinklr checks and tests the success of our commitments and works to ensure that we meet our expectations.
