Modern Slavery Statement

Our modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, child labour, and all other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in every aspect of our business, and we expect the same from all those who work with us. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects a zero-tolerance stance toward any practice that undermines human dignity or freedom.

We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries and across multiple tiers of a supply chain. For that reason, our modern slavery policy is built around prevention, detection, and remediation. We conduct due diligence on new and existing suppliers, assess country and sector risks, and require contractual commitments that prohibit exploitative labour practices. Our expectations are communicated clearly so that every supplier understands that compliance is not optional but essential.

Governance of this statement is overseen by senior leadership, who are responsible for reviewing risk, approving corrective actions, and ensuring adequate resources are in place. The organisation’s zero-tolerance policy applies to employees, contractors, agents, and suppliers alike. Any breach of our standards may result in immediate escalation, suspension of business, or termination of the relationship. We believe that a robust modern slavery statement must be supported by practical controls, not just written commitments.

Supplier management is a critical part of our approach. We use supplier audits, questionnaire-based assessments, and document reviews to monitor labour standards and identify areas of concern. Where risk is elevated, we may conduct deeper inspections, request evidence of recruitment practices, or require a corrective action plan. These supplier audits are designed to verify that workers are treated fairly, paid appropriately, and free to leave employment voluntarily. If issues are found, we seek improvement where possible, while reserving the right to discontinue arrangements if remediation is not achieved.

We also maintain reporting channels that allow concerns to be raised quickly and safely. Employees and third parties may report suspected misconduct, unsafe practices, or indicators of exploitation without fear of retaliation. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly. Our reporting channels are an essential safeguard because modern slavery often depends on silence, isolation, or fear. By encouraging early reporting, we improve our ability to respond before harm escalates.

Training supports awareness across relevant teams, including procurement, operations, and management. Personnel are instructed to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withholding of documents, unusually long working hours, or evidence of coercion. In addition, we encourage responsible purchasing practices so that commercial pressure does not drive unethical behaviour in the supply chain. The effectiveness of our modern slavery measures depends on continual vigilance and informed decision-making at every level.

We assess the effectiveness of this statement through regular monitoring of supplier performance, internal incident trends, training completion, and the number and quality of reports received. Findings from audits and investigations are used to strengthen our controls and target higher-risk areas. Where appropriate, we collaborate with suppliers to improve standards, but we do not accept repeated non-compliance. Our modern slavery statement is therefore both a commitment and a working framework for ongoing improvement.

Annual Review

We will review this statement annually to reflect changes in legislation, operations, business structure, and emerging risk. The annual review will consider whether our policies remain effective, whether supplier audits are covering the right risk areas, and whether reporting channels are accessible and trusted. Any enhancements identified through the review will be incorporated into the next cycle of our modern slavery statement.

In publishing this statement, we affirm that preventing exploitation is a shared responsibility embedded in our values and business practices. Through a zero-tolerance policy, meaningful supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. We will continue to strengthen our modern slavery controls so that our operations and supply chains remain free from abuse, coercion, and exploitation.
