Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of our organization to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour across our operations and supply chains. We recognize that slavery and human trafficking can exist in many forms, and we are committed to a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that violates human dignity or legal rights.

Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, business partners, and suppliers. We expect every person and organization acting on our behalf to uphold the same principles. In line with our modern slavery policy, we embed ethical sourcing, responsible procurement, and fair employment practices into our decision-making processes.

We aim to ensure that our slavery statement is more than a formal document; it is a practical framework for action. This includes assessing labour risks, reviewing supplier relationships, and ensuring that decisions are made with integrity. Where concerns arise, we act promptly and decisively to investigate and, where necessary, terminate relationships that do not meet our standards.

Our modern slavery statement is supported by regular supplier audits designed to identify and reduce risks in the supply chain. These audits may include documentation checks, site visits, worker interviews, and reviews of recruitment and payroll practices. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate compliance with labour laws, safe working conditions, and ethical recruitment standards.

The audit process is risk-based, meaning that higher-risk suppliers or regions receive increased scrutiny. We also request that suppliers maintain accurate records and provide evidence of their own controls against forced labour and exploitation. If deficiencies are identified, we require corrective action plans with clear deadlines and follow-up monitoring.

We believe that ongoing review of our supply network is essential to maintaining a robust anti-slavery statement. As part of this approach, we may use contractual clauses requiring suppliers to confirm their compliance with our standards and to notify us of any suspected breaches. Persistent non-compliance may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier list.

Governance and Reporting

To support accountability, we maintain multiple reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and in confidence. Reports may be submitted by employees, suppliers, workers, or other stakeholders through internal management routes and designated escalation procedures. Retaliation is not tolerated against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

All allegations are reviewed promptly and handled with discretion. Where needed, we may initiate internal investigations, engage external specialists, or notify relevant authorities. We also ensure that training and awareness measures are in place so that personnel can recognize indicators of exploitation, including coercion, document retention, excessive control, and exploitative recruitment fees.

This modern slavery statement is reviewed alongside our broader risk management and compliance processes. We seek to strengthen our controls through lessons learned from audits, incident reports, and supplier assessments. In doing so, we reinforce a culture where ethical conduct is expected at every level of the organization.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to an annual review of this statement and the measures that support it. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier due diligence, audit findings, training outcomes, and reporting activity. This review allows us to identify emerging risks and improve our response to modern slavery concerns.

The annual review also supports alignment with changes in legislation, best practice, and operational risk. Where gaps are identified, we update our procedures, strengthen oversight, and refine supplier engagement requirements. Through continuous improvement, we aim to maintain a resilient and responsible approach to preventing exploitation.

Our organization remains firmly committed to promoting respect, fairness, and accountability. By applying a strong zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, maintaining accessible reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we strive to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.
