Commitment

The UK Entities are committed to combating the real and growing problem of modern slavery and human trafficking. Recognising that it can affect any sector or industry, we take seriously our responsibility to be alert to the risks, however small, in our business and in our wider supply chain. Our expectation is that our people and our suppliers share our commitment to ensuring modern slavery and human trafficking do not exist in our business or supply chains.

Our Policies

The Life Healthcare Group, including all its subsidiaries, has developed a Global Code of Conduct that sets out its commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking. Employment policies and procedures throughout Life Healthcare are designed to treat all individuals who work within our business with dignity and respect, to reward them fairly for their work and not to exploit them. Our commitment is to only work with organisations in our supply chains that have a similar commitment and are not involved in modern slavery, or human trafficking and adhere to our values and principles.

Whilst it is the obligation of those organisations to operate their own policies and procedures to achieve that objective, we will develop and build upon our existing practices to ensure we take all reasonable steps to verify compliance by all our material suppliers with the provisions of the Act.

Assessment of Risk within our Supply Chain

A high-level assessment of our supply chains and the potential for slavery and human trafficking has been completed. Most of our suppliers are based in the UK, and many are operating in specialised rather than low skilled industries and pose a lower risk in terms of compliance with the Act. However, we recognise that some of our suppliers operate in sectors that are potentially higher risk and that some services may involve relatively high levels of contracted labour (for example textiles relating to staff uniforms). We continue to periodically review and re-assess the risks and are committed to procuring goods and services in a manner which recognises the importance of human rights; we expect all our suppliers to honour and observe the same principles.

If there is evidence that a supplier is non- compliant with our policies and contractual requirements, we will take action to address the shortfall, either through a performance improvement plan or, ultimately, through termination of contract.
