Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures adopted to prevent, detect, and address modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to maintaining a workplace and business environment built on integrity, respect, and accountability. Our anti-slavery commitment applies to all employees, contractors, directors, and business partners.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and servitude in any form. This means that any evidence or credible suspicion of abuse is treated as a serious matter and may lead to immediate action, including termination of employment, suspension of supplier relationships, or referral to the appropriate authorities. Our modern slavery policy is embedded in procurement, onboarding, and governance processes to ensure these principles are applied consistently.

To support this commitment, we require suppliers to share our standards and demonstrate compliance with labor laws and ethical sourcing requirements. Every supplier is assessed for risk as part of our due diligence process, and higher-risk categories are reviewed more closely. As part of our slavery and human trafficking controls, supplier contracts may include commitments to ethical recruitment, fair wages, and safe working conditions.

Supplier oversight includes periodic audits designed to identify labor-related risks, verify documentation, and confirm that workers are treated fairly. Where appropriate, we conduct announced or unannounced reviews, either directly or through qualified third parties. Findings are recorded, corrective actions are tracked, and repeated concerns may result in enhanced monitoring or disengagement. This approach strengthens our modern slavery statement by ensuring that policy is matched by practical enforcement.

We also recognize the importance of accessible reporting channels. Employees and stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation through internal reporting routes, management escalation, and anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms where available. Reports may relate to recruitment fees, passport withholding, debt bondage, unsafe accommodation, coercion, or any other sign of exploitation. All concerns are investigated promptly, and confidentiality is protected wherever possible.

Training supports awareness across the organization. Relevant teams receive guidance on identifying indicators of forced labor and understanding how to respond if a concern arises. Procurement, human resources, and operations personnel are particularly focused on these obligations, because their decisions can affect labor conditions directly. This helps ensure that our anti-modern slavery controls remain practical, proportionate, and effective.

We expect our business partners to apply the same high standards throughout their own operations and supply chains. Where risks are identified, we work collaboratively to develop remedial action plans and improve conditions. However, if a supplier fails to make sufficient progress, we will consider stronger measures. Our approach is based on the principle that ethical conduct is essential to long-term business resilience and responsible growth.

Oversight of this statement is supported by senior leadership, who review performance, risk trends, and any significant incidents. Key indicators may include the number of supplier assessments completed, audit outcomes, training coverage, and the resolution of reported concerns. By maintaining clear ownership and accountability, we reinforce our modern slavery prevention framework across the organization.

We also keep records of relevant assessments, corrective actions, and improvements so that our response can be measured over time. This documentation helps us identify recurring issues, improve controls, and demonstrate that our commitments are being implemented in practice. In doing so, we continue to strengthen our ethical sourcing and labor rights protections.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, accurate, and aligned with legal requirements, operational changes, and emerging risks. The review considers lessons learned from audits, supplier performance, incident reporting, and any updates to internal policies. Where necessary, the statement is revised to reflect improvements in our modern slavery compliance approach.

Annual review also allows us to assess whether our controls are working as intended and whether additional training, due diligence, or supplier engagement is required. If weaknesses are identified, we act promptly to strengthen procedures and improve oversight. This cycle of review and improvement is central to our commitment to preventing exploitation.

By combining a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, effective reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to maintain a responsible and transparent approach to business conduct. Our modern slavery statement reflects an ongoing commitment to uphold human dignity, protect vulnerable people, and ensure that slavery has no place in our operations or supply chains.
