Manandvan Southfields Modern Slavery Statement

Manandvan Southfields publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our commitment to preventing slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in all parts of our business and supply chain. This anti-slavery statement reflects our core values and our position as an organisation with a strict zero-tolerance approach to exploitation. We recognise that a clear policy and visible leadership are essential to effective prevention and remediation.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Our anti-slavery policy requires that all employees, contractors and partners adhere to the highest standards of ethical behaviour. Manandvan Southfields will not knowingly engage with suppliers or contractors who facilitate or benefit from any form of slavery, forced labour, or exploitation. We include explicit contractual clauses prohibiting such practices and retain the right to terminate relationships where violations are found.

Scope of this Anti-Slavery Policy

This modern slavery declaration applies to all parts of our operations, including procurement, logistics, facilities management and outsourced services. We require all staff to complete training on recognising signs of slavery, coercion and unfair labour practices. Our policy extends to permanent and temporary workers, subcontractors and third-party suppliers, and is reviewed regularly to ensure it reflects evolving risk profiles and legal obligations.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audit Program

We operate a structured supplier assessment and audit programme as part of our modern slavery risk management. Supplier selection and ongoing evaluation incorporate checks for compliance with labour standards, worker rights and safe working conditions. Our procurement teams use standardised questionnaires and contractual requirements that set clear expectations and remedies.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We conduct regular supplier audits — both announced and unannounced — focusing on high-risk categories and geographies. Audits include document reviews, worker interviews and site inspections. Where issues are identified, we require time-bound corrective action plans and, if necessary, escalate to contract termination. Our approach to supplier audits combines on-site verification with remote monitoring and third-party assessments to maintain continuous oversight.

To strengthen our supply chain controls we:

• Assess suppliers for modern slavery risk at onboarding and annually thereafter;
• Audit high-risk suppliers and follow up on corrective actions;
• Mandate contractual anti-slavery clauses and worker protections;
• Provide training for procurement teams and suppliers on identifying and mitigating risks;
• Collaborate with peer organisations and industry initiatives to share best practice.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain confidential and accessible reporting channels for employees, workers and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports may be made anonymously and are treated seriously. Investigations are conducted promptly, with protections in place for whistleblowers. All concerns feed into our corrective action procedures and, where warranted, to authorities without delay.

Governance, Accountability and Annual Review

Governance of this slavery and human trafficking statement sits with senior leadership and our compliance committee. We review policies, audits and incident responses annually to measure effectiveness and identify improvement opportunities. The annual review evaluates supplier performance, audit outcomes, training completion rates and remediation success. Findings result in updated risk assessments and resource allocation to areas of greatest concern.

In conclusion, Manandvan Southfields reiterates its firm stance through this anti-slavery statement. We continue to refine our modern slavery policy, enhance supplier audits and maintain robust reporting channels. Through ongoing annual review, strengthened procurement controls and a strict zero-tolerance policy, we are committed to eradicating slavery and forced labour from our operations and supply chain. We will not tolerate modern slavery in any form.
