Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, and this anti-slavery statement explains the actions we take to identify and address risks. Our approach is informed by international standards and by continuous risk assessment of sectors and geographies where exposure to exploitation is higher.

We believe transparency is essential: our modern slavery declaration articulates responsibilities at every level of the organisation. Senior management endorses the policy and ensures that adequate resources are allocated to enforcement, training and monitoring. Our governance framework assigns clear accountability for implementing the anti-slavery measures set out in this document and for reporting on progress.

The human trafficking statement describes how we conduct due diligence and supplier engagement. We map our supply chains, prioritise high-risk categories and conduct site-level verifications. Where risks are identified, we implement corrective action plans and follow up until issues are resolved or contracts are terminated. We make clear that any form of forced labour, debt bondage, or withholding of identity documents is strictly prohibited.

Our

Zero-Tolerance Policy

is enforced through procurement terms and employee codes of conduct. We communicate an unequivocal message: modern slavery is unacceptable. All staff and suppliers must adhere to our policies. We use contractual clauses requiring compliance, and we reserve the right to suspend or end relationships with suppliers who breach these standards. Non-compliance is met with appropriate remediation measures and, when necessary, termination of contracts.

Supplier audits form a core part of our detection and prevention strategy. We conduct both documentary reviews and on-site audits, led by trained auditors or accredited third parties. Audits evaluate worker recruitment practices, working hours, wage payment, freedom of movement and grievance mechanisms. Our supplier audit program includes:

• Risk-based selection of suppliers for review;
• Regular recurring audits and unannounced inspections;
• Corrective action plans with defined timelines and verification.

These steps ensure that our modern slavery policy is more than a statement — it is an operational standard.

We require suppliers to provide evidence of appropriate labour practices and to allow access for monitoring. Where issues are found, we prioritise worker protection and remediation, such as repayment of illegal recruitment fees, reinstatement of rights, and provision of safe alternatives. We also consider wider systemic remedies and collaborate with industry partners to address root causes in complex supply chains.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain multiple, confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and suppliers to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated seriously; retaliation is strictly prohibited. We train personnel to recognise indicators of exploitation and to escalate suspected cases promptly. Clear reporting pathways increase the chance of early detection and effective response.

Our approach includes victim-centred remediation and cooperation with relevant authorities and NGOs where appropriate. We maintain procedures for safe referrals, medical support, and legal assistance for victims of trafficking or forced labour. Prevention is supported through worker education programmes, clear employment contracts and monitoring of recruitment intermediaries.

We are committed to continuous improvement: the modern slavery policy and this statement are subject to an annual review. Each year we publish progress, reassess risks, update due diligence processes and refine audit programmes. The annual review ensures evolving risks are captured, new legal requirements are reflected, and best practices are embedded across our operations and supply chains.
