Modern Slavery Statement and Commitment

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our unwavering stance against forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation. As an organizational anti-slavery statement we declare a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and related abuses in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to publish a clear slavery and human trafficking statement that explains our approach, policies and the steps we take to prevent harm.

We publish this modern slavery policy to ensure transparency and accountability. Our senior leadership endorses a proactive programme of risk assessment and continuous improvement. The anti-slavery policy is embedded in procurement, HR and corporate governance processes. We communicate expectations to our workforce and business partners, and require adherence to ethical labour standards that prohibit bonded labour, child exploitation, involuntary servitude, and discriminatory practices.

Scope of this modern slavery statement: it covers our direct operations, contractors and suppliers. We apply due diligence to new suppliers and maintain oversight of existing relationships. Where risks are identified, we commit to remedial action and, when necessary, the termination of contracts with parties who fail to rectify breaches. Our commitment to an effective human trafficking statement reinforces that we will not tolerate non-compliance.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Supplier Audits

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any confirmed instance of forced labour or trafficking will trigger immediate action. We operate a supplier code of conduct that requires compliance with labour laws and international standards. To enforce these standards we conduct regular supplier audits and assessments. Audits evaluate recruitment practices, working hours, wage payment systems, identification retention and accommodation conditions, ensuring there is no form of modern slavery in any tier of our supply network.

Audit activities include on-site inspections, document reviews and worker interviews. Where higher risk is detected, we carry out enhanced due diligence and follow-up visits. Our supplier audit program is risk-based and prioritises regions, sectors and suppliers that present the greatest exposure to exploitation. We also support capacity building and corrective action plans so suppliers can align with our modern slavery and trafficking prevention expectations.

Key audit elements include:

• Verification of worker contracts and pay records;
• Assessment of recruitment fees and third-party labour providers;
• Interviews with a representative sample of workers to confirm freedom of movement and consent;
• Review of grievance mechanisms and worker representation.

Reporting Channels and Remediation

We maintain multiple reporting channels for suspected slavery or trafficking, designed to be accessible and confidential. Employees and external stakeholders can raise concerns through anonymous reporting lines, internal HR channels and designated ethics contacts. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially. We emphasise protection from retaliation and ensure support for affected individuals, including safe accommodation and access to medical and legal assistance where necessary.

Our reporting framework ensures incidents are escalated to senior management and that outcomes are documented. We use a case management approach to track investigations, corrective actions and outcomes. When violations are substantiated, we work with suppliers to implement remediation, and consider termination of contracts in the absence of satisfactory corrective measures. Collaboration with local authorities and NGOs is used when appropriate to secure victim assistance and legal redress.

Education and continuous improvement underpin our strategy. We deliver training to procurement teams, HR personnel and key suppliers to raise awareness of indicators of modern slavery and to build capacity for prevention. We review contractual clauses to strengthen anti-slavery obligations and integrate modern slavery considerations into supplier selection and performance evaluation.

Annual Review and Governance — This slavery and human trafficking statement is reviewed at least annually by senior leadership and the board. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of policies, audits, training and remediation measures, and updates risk assessments and action plans accordingly. Progress is reported internally and informs future resource allocation and strategic priorities to better prevent modern slavery across our operations.

Our governance includes cross-functional oversight with clear responsibilities for compliance, audit execution and stakeholder engagement. We commit to continuous monitoring and to strengthening our modern slavery prevention measures over time. Strong leadership, transparent reporting and persistent vigilance are central to protecting workers and upholding our values.

By publishing this Modern Slavery Statement and maintaining an active anti-slavery programme, we reaffirm our dedication to ethical business conduct and to ensuring that no person suffers exploitation as a result of our activities or those of our business partners.
