Modern Slavery Statement

Our Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and exploitation in every part of our operations. We believe that responsible business conduct is essential to protecting human dignity, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. This modern slavery statement applies to our workforce, business partners, and supply chain relationships, and it reflects our expectation that all parties act lawfully, ethically, and with respect for fundamental rights.

We recognize that modern slavery risks can appear in complex supply chains, especially where labor is outsourced, subcontracted, or sourced across multiple regions. To address this, our modern slavery statement is built on prevention, detection, and response. We require all employees to understand their responsibilities and to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld identity documents, debt bondage, excessive recruitment fees, and unsafe working conditions. Any concern is treated seriously and escalated without delay.

Our approach is embedded in governance, procurement, and compliance processes. Senior leadership oversees implementation, while internal controls help ensure that supplier selection, onboarding, and renewal decisions consider ethical risk. This modern slavery commitment is not a one-time declaration; it is an active framework for identifying vulnerabilities and strengthening protections across the organization.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We apply structured due diligence to suppliers, contractors, and relevant third parties before and during engagement. As part of this process, we assess modern slavery risks by reviewing country of origin, labor practices, use of labor agencies, and the nature of the goods or services provided. Where risk is elevated, we may require corrective action plans, enhanced documentation, or additional verification.

Supplier audits are a key part of our monitoring program. These audits may be announced or unannounced and can include document checks, worker interviews, site inspections, and reviews of payroll, recruitment, and accommodation practices. When findings indicate non-compliance, we expect prompt remediation. If a supplier fails to improve or is found to be involved in serious abuse, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.

We also work to build awareness among suppliers by communicating our expectations clearly and requiring them to uphold comparable standards throughout their own supply chains. Our anti-slavery controls are designed to ensure that risks are identified early, addressed consistently, and monitored over time.

Reporting Channels and Remediation

We encourage employees, workers, and relevant stakeholders to report any suspected breach of this statement immediately. Reporting channels are designed to support safe, confidential, and non-retaliatory disclosure of concerns related to the modern slavery policy. Reports may involve forced labor, child labor, coercion, deception, unsafe recruitment practices, or any other indicator of exploitation.

All reports are reviewed promptly and handled with discretion. Where appropriate, investigations are initiated, evidence is preserved, and corrective actions are documented. If an individual is found to be at risk, our priority is to protect the person affected and to work with internal and external partners to remove harm. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Remediation may include supplier corrective actions, training, revised controls, worker support measures, or disengagement where necessary. This modern slavery statement reflects our commitment not only to compliance, but also to meaningful action when risks or incidents arise.

Training, Monitoring, and Annual Review

We provide training to relevant employees so that they can recognize indicators of exploitation and apply due diligence standards consistently. Training supports procurement, operations, and management teams in making informed decisions and reinforces our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery risks.

Monitoring is conducted throughout the year through risk assessments, supplier reviews, audit outcomes, and incident tracking. We evaluate whether existing controls remain effective and whether additional safeguards are needed. The findings help shape ongoing improvements to our modern slavery program and related policies.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains current, accurate, and aligned with our business activities and risk profile. The review considers legal developments, audit results, reported concerns, and progress against remediation actions. By updating our approach each year, we strengthen accountability and ensure that our modern slavery statement continues to support ethical, responsible, and rights-respecting business practices.
