Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking, and this anti-slavery statement reflects our intention to identify, assess and mitigate risks. Our approach is guided by transparency, continuous improvement and accountability.

We apply an integrated modern slavery and human trafficking policy across procurement, HR and partner selection. Employees and partners are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns. Our governance framework assigns responsibility to senior leadership and a cross-functional compliance team that oversees the modern slavery program and ensures alignment with the Modern Slavery Policy.

Our modern slavery statement and slavery prevention statement policies require that every supplier acknowledges adherence to labour standards before contract award. We supplement contractual commitments with targeted supplier audits, ethical risk assessments and on-site inspections where appropriate. These supplier audits assess working hours, wage practices, recruitment fees, freedom of movement and recruitment intermediaries.

Key measures and expectations

We operate a risk-based supplier review process that prioritises high-risk geographies and sectors. Controls include due diligence questionnaires, third-party verifications and periodic audits. The following list summarises core actions we take to manage modern slavery risk:

• Pre-contract checks: screening and contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour.
• Supplier audits: scheduled and unannounced assessments to verify compliance.
• Remediation plans: corrective action plans with clear timelines and escalation paths.
• Worker voice: mechanisms to ensure workers can speak up without fear of retaliation.

We view supplier audits as a tool for verification and improvement, not solely for exclusion. Where non-compliance is found, we implement tailored remediation that may include capacity building, supplier replacement of abusive agents, and termination in the case of persistent or severe breaches. Our procurement teams collaborate with suppliers on corrective actions and monitor progress until issues are fully resolved.

Transparency is central to our anti-slavery efforts. We publish a summary of our findings in aggregate form to support industry-wide learning while preserving the confidentiality and safety of affected workers. Our modern slavery declaration emphasises prevention, victim protection and collaborative remediation with peer companies and civil society.

Reporting channels, training and annual review

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels to encourage disclosure of suspected exploitation. Staff, contractors and external parties can raise concerns through internal whistleblowing channels, secure anonymous hotlines and designated ethics officers. All reports are treated with strict confidentiality and investigated promptly, with protections for whistleblowers and victims.

Training and awareness-raising are mandatory components of our compliance programme. We conduct role-specific modules for procurement, HR, site managers and contract supervisors, emphasising indicators of modern slavery and proper escalation procedures. Regular refresher courses and scenario-based training promote vigilance and practical response skills.

An annual review of this anti-slavery statement and our broader modern slavery policy is conducted by senior management and the compliance committee. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of policies, supplier audit outcomes, remediation status and changes in risk posture. Improvements identified through the review are incorporated into the next cycle of policy updates, training and supplier engagement.

In closing, our slavery and human trafficking statement reflects a continuing commitment to eliminate exploitation from our value chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance, robust supplier audits, trusted reporting channels, and a disciplined annual review process to ensure our anti-slavery measures remain effective and responsive to evolving risks.
