MODERN SLAVERY POLICY

POLICY STATEMENT
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery,
servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a
person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity
in all our business dealings and relationships and to implement and enforce effective systems and controls to
ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or our supply chain.

We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to tackling
modern slavery throughout our supply chain. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors,
suppliers and other business partners.
As part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or
trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude and we expect that our suppliers will hold their own
suppliers to the same high standards.

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all
levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors, external
consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.
This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment and we may amend it at any time.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POLICY
The company leadership has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical
obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it. The company Director has primary and day-to-day
responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it,
and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery.
Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this
policy and are given any required training.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY
You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy.
The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain is the
responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. You are required to avoid any activity that might
lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
You must notify your manager as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has
occurred, or may occur in the future.
You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue of suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our
business or the supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage.
If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred or that it may occur you must notify your manager
or report it in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible.
If you are unsure about whether a particular act, the treatment of workers more generally, or their working
conditions within any tier of our supply chain constitutes any of the various forms of modern slavery, raise it with
your manager. We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good
faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken.
We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their
suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in
any part of our supply chain.
If you believe that you have suffered any such treatment, you should inform your manager immediately.

COMMUNICATION AND AWARENESS OF POLICY
Training on this policy, and on the risk our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chain will be given
where needed. Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery must be communicated to all suppliers,
contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as
appropriate thereafter.

BREACHES OF THIS POLICY
Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for
misconduct or gross misconduct. We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and organisations
working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
