Modern Slavery Statement

Company publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to declare a firm stance against forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation in our operations and supply chains. This anti-slavery statement outlines our commitments, governance and the steps we take to prevent modern slavery throughout our business activities. We recognise that a robust modern slavery statement must be clear, actionable and continuously improved.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards slavery and human trafficking. Our policy requires all employees, contractors and suppliers to comply with applicable laws and the principles set forth in this Modern slavery policy. Any evidence of coercion, bonded labour, exploitative recruitment fees, restriction of movement or deceptive practices will trigger swift investigative and remedial action, up to termination of contracts or referral to authorities where appropriate.

As part of our zero tolerance approach we have established governance structures including a Board-level sponsor and designated compliance leads responsible for monitoring risks and implementing controls in this anti-slavery statement. The governance framework sets out responsibilities for procurement, human resources and legal teams to ensure consistent application of our standards across business units and geographies.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We perform proportionate due diligence on new and existing business relationships to identify potential slavery and human trafficking risks. Our supplier onboarding requires completion of ethical questionnaires and commitments to our code of conduct. For higher-risk suppliers we conduct enhanced reviews, including site visits and audits. Auditing and assessment form a core part of our supplier oversight and are documented in our supplier anti-slavery programme.

Key elements of our supplier audit programme include:

• Risk-based supplier segmentation and prioritisation.
• On-site inspections and third-party social compliance audits for higher-risk suppliers.
• Corrective action plans with defined timelines and follow-up audits.

We require detailed records from suppliers on recruitment practices, working hours, wage payments and subcontractor management. Where audits reveal non-compliance, we engage with suppliers to remediate issues and, if progress is not satisfactory, we may suspend or terminate the relationship to protect workers and maintain the integrity of our supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Remediation

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, workers and third parties to raise concerns related to forced labour or exploitation. Reports may be made through anonymous hotlines, secure online portals and direct contact with our compliance team. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and treated with confidentiality to protect whistleblowers and affected individuals.

Remediation follows a victim-centred approach: we prioritise the safety, welfare and legal rights of any impacted person and collaborate with authorities, NGOs and suppliers to ensure appropriate support, restitution and prevention of recurrence. Our commitment includes training for procurement and HR staff to recognise signs of modern slavery and to respond effectively.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: We review this statement and our anti-slavery measures on an annual basis. The review process evaluates the effectiveness of policies, supplier audits, reporting mechanisms and remediation outcomes. Findings are used to refine risk assessments, strengthen contractual terms and enhance training materials. This continuous improvement cycle ensures our modern slavery statement evolves with emerging risks and best practices.
