Modern Slavery Statement and Commitment

Our modern slavery statement sets out a clear, company-wide approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and require all colleagues, suppliers and partners to adhere to the highest ethical standards. This anti-slavery declaration reflects our belief that respect for human rights and responsible sourcing are essential to sustainable business.

We publish this anti-slavery statement to be transparent about our actions and to drive continual improvement. Our leadership team has responsibility for embedding these commitments into governance, procurement and daily operations. The statement clarifies roles, accountabilities and the expectation that every contract and supplier relationship aligns with our slavery and human trafficking prevention principles.

To translate policy into practice we undertake systematic risk assessments across categories, geographies and labour types. Our due diligence program identifies elevated risks and triggers enhanced controls, including contractual clauses, worker verification and targeted remediation plans. The modern slavery policy applies to direct employees, temporary labour, contractors and the extended supply chain.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Prevention Measures

Our zero-tolerance approach means that any credible evidence of forced labour or exploitation results in immediate action. Actions may include suspension of procurement activity, supplier improvement plans, or termination of contracts where necessary. We embed anti-slavery clauses into procurement documentation and require suppliers to certify compliance with our standards.

We conduct supplier audits and on-site assessments prioritized by risk. These audits examine recruitment practices, wage payments, working hours, freedom of movement and grievance mechanisms. Audit outcomes are used to develop corrective action plans and monitor remediation. Where audits reveal non-compliance, we work with suppliers to rectify issues and escalate where supplier engagement is inadequate.

We invest in supplier capacity building, training procurement teams and suppliers on identifying signs of modern slavery, and promoting ethical recruitment practices. Our procurement teams use checklists, supplier self-assessments and third-party audit partners to maintain robust oversight throughout the supplier lifecycle.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protections

We provide multiple secure reporting channels so workers, suppliers and stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be raised anonymously and are investigated promptly. We maintain strict confidentiality and take protective measures for whistleblowers and vulnerable workers during any investigation.

Our remediation approach is survivor-centred and focuses on immediate safety, recovery and remediation. We collaborate with local NGOs, labour providers and legal advisors to ensure victims receive appropriate support. We also ensure that contractual remedies are applied to hold suppliers accountable for breaches of our modern slavery standards.

As part of continuous improvement, we maintain a formal escalation process for systemic issues and follow-up monitoring to ensure that corrective actions are sustained. We document case outcomes and share lessons learned across business units to reduce recurrence and strengthen prevention.

Governance for this modern slavery and human trafficking statement is exercised through our ethics committee, which reviews risk, audit results and remediation outcomes. The committee reports to senior management and provides annual updates to the Board, ensuring executive oversight of anti-slavery efforts.

We use key performance indicators to measure progress, including the number of audits completed, findings remediated, supplier training sessions delivered and incidents investigated. These metrics inform strategic priorities and resource allocation for risk mitigation.

We commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and related policies to reflect evolving risks, regulatory developments and stakeholder expectations. The review process includes cross-functional input from procurement, legal, human resources and compliance teams, and results in published updates that detail progress and new actions.

By maintaining a robust anti-slavery framework — combining clear policy, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review — we strive to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chains. We expect every business partner to share this commitment and to act decisively when risks are identified.

Our modern slavery statement is a living document: we will refine our approach as we learn from audits, stakeholder dialogue and global best practice. Compliance is non-negotiable; adherence to these standards is a condition of doing business with us.

Endorsement: This modern slavery statement was approved at the highest levels of the organisation and reflects our ongoing pledge to uphold human rights and ethical sourcing across all activities.
