Modern Slavery Statement for .

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of . to prevent slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, human trafficking, child labour or exploitation. Our anti-slavery and human trafficking statement reflects our determination to uphold high standards of integrity, fair treatment and respect for human rights across every part of our business and every relationship we form.

We recognise that a robust modern slavery policy requires clear leadership and ongoing scrutiny. The Board and senior management are accountable for driving policies and processes that minimise risk, and we provide regular training to staff to ensure awareness of indicators of exploitation. Our expectation is clear: all employees, partners and suppliers must adhere to the Company's zero-tolerance approach, which includes immediate investigation and remedial action where breaches are suspected.

Supplier due diligence and supplier audits are central to our efforts. We conduct risk-based checks and employ practical controls to assess and act on modern slavery risk. Key elements include:

• Supplier screening: risk profiling of suppliers before engagement and at regular intervals;
• Contractual clauses: clear anti-slavery clauses and the right to audit and require remediation;
• On-site audits: targeted audits where risk is higher, including verification of working conditions and documentation;
• Corrective action plans: mandatory remediation timelines and follow-up audits;
• Escalation processes: suspension or termination where suppliers fail to meet our standards.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We maintain accessible reporting channels for employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or human trafficking. Our channels include anonymous reporting routes, internal hotlines and escalation to senior compliance personnel. Reports are treated with confidentiality and without retaliation. We encourage early reporting so that situations can be investigated promptly and remedial actions taken. Ensuring secure, confidential and trusted reporting mechanisms is a cornerstone of our modern slavery prevention strategy.

All reports are logged and assessed by a dedicated compliance team which coordinates investigations, liaises with relevant stakeholders and documents outcomes. We emphasise training for investigators and those receiving reports to ensure sensitivity to victim protection, evidence preservation and appropriate referral to support services where needed. Our approach is victim-centred and seeks to restore dignity and rights to affected individuals.

Supplier audits, monitoring and continuous improvement

We are committed to ongoing supplier monitoring and to improving controls across our supply chain. Routine audits and surprise visits are supported by supplier self-assessments, third-party verification and targeted capacity-building initiatives. We work collaboratively with suppliers to remediate issues, build capabilities and promote best practice. Where remediation is not achieved, we will take decisive action, including the termination of relationships. This anti-slavery statement underlines our practical steps to mitigate risk and hold partners to account.

Annual review and governance

We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery statement, policies and processes to ensure effectiveness and responsiveness to emerging risks. The review examines audit results, incident reports, supplier performance, training uptake and evolving regulatory expectations. Findings are reported to senior leadership and used to refine risk assessments, supplier engagement strategies and training programmes. Continuous improvement is embedded into our governance framework, and the statement is updated and published annually to reflect progress and future priorities.

In summary, . adopts a proactive, risk-based and victim-focused approach to prevent modern slavery. Our commitments include a zero-tolerance policy, systematic supplier audits, safe reporting channels and a rigorous annual review cycle. We remain resolute in our responsibility to combat modern slavery and will continue to strengthen policies, oversight and partnerships to uphold human rights across our operations and supply chain.
