Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of our organization to prevent, detect, and respond to modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We recognize that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labor, servitude, debt bondage, child labor, and the exploitation of vulnerable workers. Our approach is grounded in zero tolerance, ethical conduct, and continuous improvement.

We are committed to ensuring that our business practices support fair treatment, safe working conditions, and respect for human rights. This slavery statement applies to all employees, contractors, subsidiaries, and business partners involved in our activities. It reflects our responsibility to act with diligence and integrity in every part of our organization.

To strengthen our response, we maintain a risk-based framework that helps identify where modern slavery risks may arise. These risks may be linked to geography, sector, labor model, or complex supply chain relationships. By reviewing these factors regularly, we aim to prevent abuse before it occurs and address concerns promptly if they are identified.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form. Any individual or organization acting on our behalf must comply with our ethical requirements and legal obligations. If concerns arise, we investigate thoroughly and take appropriate action, which may include ending a relationship, escalating the issue, or working with relevant authorities.

All staff are expected to understand the indicators of exploitation and to act when they suspect misconduct. Training and internal awareness activities reinforce the importance of vigilance. Our modern slavery policy is designed to ensure that ethical behavior is not optional, but an essential part of how we work.

We also expect senior leaders to model responsible decision-making and to support transparent oversight. This includes reviewing risk assessments, approving remediation actions, and ensuring that anti-slavery commitments remain visible throughout the organization. Accountability is shared, but leadership sets the tone.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We seek to work only with suppliers who meet our standards for lawful and ethical labor practices. Before engagement, suppliers may be assessed through questionnaires, contractual requirements, and due diligence checks. Where risk is higher, we may require additional documentation or enhanced verification.

Supplier audits are an important control in our modern slavery statement framework. Audits may be announced or unannounced and can include document reviews, worker interviews, site inspections, and checks of recruitment and wage practices. Findings are tracked, and suppliers are expected to implement corrective actions within agreed timeframes.

If a supplier fails to demonstrate improvement, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship. We believe that meaningful engagement, combined with firm consequences, creates a stronger incentive to improve working conditions. Our goal is not only compliance, but the promotion of responsible and sustainable supply chain practices.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We provide confidential reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or related misconduct. Reports may be made anonymously where permitted, and all concerns are treated seriously, fairly, and without prejudice.

Retaliation is prohibited. Any person who raises a concern in good faith will be protected from victimization, dismissal, or disadvantage. This commitment is central to building a culture in which issues can be identified early and addressed before harm escalates. Our anti-slavery statement emphasizes that speaking up is a responsibility, not a risk.

All reports are reviewed through a documented process that ensures confidentiality, appropriate escalation, and timely investigation. Where modern slavery risks are confirmed or suspected, we may involve legal, compliance, procurement, or operational teams, depending on the nature of the case and the corrective steps required.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We review this Modern Slavery Statement at least annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal expectations and operational realities. The review considers audit results, incident reports, supplier performance, training completion, and changes in risk exposure across our business and supply chains.

Following each annual review, we update our controls, policies, and priorities where needed. This may include enhancing supplier audits, revising contracts, improving reporting mechanisms, or introducing additional training. We view modern slavery risk management as an ongoing responsibility that requires attention, discipline, and adaptation.

Through consistent oversight, clear expectations, and measurable action, we aim to support a supply chain that respects human dignity and lawful employment practices. Our modern slavery statement reflects a long-term commitment to prevention, transparency, and accountability in everything we do.
