Modern Slavery Statement — Manandvan Mortlake

Manandvan Mortlake sets out this Modern Slavery Statement to declare our firm and unambiguous zero-tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour and human trafficking. This declaration applies across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, and we commit to active measures to identify, prevent and remedy any instances of exploitation.

As an employer and purchaser, Manandvan Mortlake maintains a clear expectation that all workers engaged directly or indirectly are treated fairly and with dignity. Our approach to eradicating modern slavery and related abuses is driven by governance, supplier engagement and robust internal controls. We will not tolerate practices that amount to slavery and human trafficking under any circumstances.

To operationalise this modern slavery and human trafficking stance, we have embedded obligations into procurement and contracting. Our supply chain programme targets high-risk sectors and geographies with enhanced oversight, and we mandate supplier compliance through contractual clauses and a published supplier code of conduct that echoes our anti-slavery expectations.

Policies, Training and Reporting Channels

Manandvan Mortlake maintains a suite of policies that align with our anti-slavery aims, including employment policies, ethical procurement policies and a whistleblowing policy. We provide regular training for staff with procurement and site responsibilities to recognise signs of exploitation and take appropriate action. Training includes how to use our reporting channels and how to escalate concerns.

We operate multiple secure reporting channels to ensure concerns about forced labour or suspected modern slavery can be raised safely and without fear of reprisal. Reports may be raised internally through line managers and HR, or anonymously via secure internal mechanisms. All reports are triaged, investigated and managed in accordance with confidentiality and data protection standards. We encourage employees and suppliers to speak up and will protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

Our monitoring framework includes supplier audits, third-party assessments and targeted due diligence. Key audit activities include:

• Review of labour records and recruitment practices
• Site inspections and worker interviews
• Verification of subcontractor lists and migrant worker protections

Supplier Audits, Due Diligence and Remediation

Supplier audits form a core part of our preventive measures. We apply a risk-based programme of on-site and remote audits to assess compliance with our anti-slavery standards. Where risks are identified, we work with suppliers to implement corrective action plans, and where suppliers fail to remediate, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships to uphold our zero-tolerance policy.

Manandvan Mortlake undertakes due diligence before onboarding major suppliers and periodically thereafter. This due diligence evaluates: origin of goods and labour, recruitment fee practices, living conditions, and the presence of adequate worker grievance mechanisms. We use contractual protections and ongoing engagement to reduce the risk of forced labour within our procurement chain. Our approach is pragmatic: we seek remediation, supplier capacity building and partnership where possible, and decisive action when necessary.

Governance of this modern slavery prevention programme rests with senior management and the relevant compliance committees. We commit to an annual review of our modern slavery policies, supplier audit results and training effectiveness. Each year we will reassess risk profiles, update our supplier due diligence processes, and report on actions taken to prevent and address slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement is a living record of that work, reflecting continuous improvement, accountability and Manandvan Mortlake's steadfast commitment to ensuring that exploitation has no place in our business.
