Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

For the Financial Year Ending 31 March 2026

1. Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by TRB Chemedica (UK) Ltd during the above financial year to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within its own business operations and supply chains.

TRB Chemedica (UK) Ltd is committed to conducting business ethically, with integrity and transparency. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, bonded labour, child labour and human trafficking and expect the same high standards from all organisations with which we do business.

2. Our Organisation

TRB Chemedica (UK) Ltd operates within the medical device sector and its principal business activity is the supply and distribution of medical devices within the United Kingdom.

Our supply chain includes manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers and other suppliers supporting our business operations. We recognise that, although our direct operations present a relatively low risk of modern slavery, risks may exist within wider supply chains and we are committed to identifying and addressing those risks.

3. Our Policies

Our commitment to ethical employment practices is supported by our Labour Standards Assurance System (LSAS), first published on 4 September 2019. The policy applies to both our own organisation and our supply chain and is reviewed annually as part of the Company's Management Review process.

Adequate financial and management resources are made available to support implementation of the Labour Standards Assurance System.

The policy is communicated to all employees during their employment and made available to key suppliers, who are expected to communicate equivalent standards throughout their own supply chains where appropriate. The policy is also published on the Company's website.

In addition, suppliers are expected to comply with:

• All applicable national employment and labour legislation.
• The principles contained within the Labour Standards Assurance System (LSAS).
• The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code.

4. Due Diligence

TRB Chemedica (UK) Ltd seeks to ensure that suppliers operate in accordance with applicable labour legislation and recognised ethical standards.

Our due diligence activities include:

• Communicating our Labour Standards Policy to key suppliers.
• Requiring suppliers to comply with applicable legislation and recognised ethical labour standards.
• Expecting suppliers to maintain equivalent standards within their own supply chains.
• Reviewing supplier relationships where concerns regarding ethical practices are identified.
• Taking appropriate action where evidence of non-compliance is identified, which may include requesting corrective actions or reviewing the ongoing business relationship.

The Company will continue to develop and strengthen its supplier due diligence processes as part of its commitment to continual improvement.

5. Risk Assessment and Risk Management

The Company recognises that modern slavery risks can exist within global supply chains.

Our assessment considers factors including:

• The nature of goods and services procured.
• Geographic location of suppliers.
• Supplier performance and reputation.
• Any reported concerns regarding labour practices.
  

Where higher-risk suppliers or activities are identified, additional enquiries or monitoring may be undertaken to ensure compliance with our ethical standards.
