relevant employment legislation; that members of staff are recruited on the basis of their ability; and managers are
able to attract and recruit high calibre staff.

Whistleblowing policy - In the Employment Rights Act 1996 (as amended by the Public Interest Disclosure Act

victimised at work or they have lost their job because they have 'blown the whistle'
Staff code of conduct - The main purpose of our code of conduct is to set and maintain a standard for acceptable
behaviour to all stakeholders in a company. It is a reminder to the employees of what is expected from them. It
further highlights that their actions should be always aligned with the ethos of the business. In addition, it should
provide understanding of consequences and disciplinary actions if the conduct is broken.

its UK supply chain through:

We do not consider that we operate in a high-risk environment because Due to the nature of our business, we assess
ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains. Where there is evidence of failure to comply with our
policies and procedures by any of our suppliers, we will require that supplier to remedy the non-compliance.
