Modern Slavery Statement

Our Policies

International Hospital Group and its subsidiaries have a number of policies that are designed to manage the risks relating to modern slavery and human trafficking, including the Employee Code of Conduct, Responsible Procurement Policy and Anti-slavery and Human Trafficking Policy. These policies collectively set out our zero‑tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and establish clear expectations for ethical conduct across our workforce and supply chain.

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in our business dealings and relationships and to maintaining systems and controls designed to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or across our supply chain.

Our Whistleblowing Policy provides a mechanism for our employees and others working in our supply chain to report suspected breaches of these policies. Reports can be made confidentially, and all concerns are investigated promptly and sensitively.

We are aware that risks arising from modern slavery and human trafficking can apply anywhere in our business, whether through direct employment, sub-contracted employees or the supply of goods and materials.

We expect our suppliers and subcontractors to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in their supply chain. Where issues are identified (including through our audit process) that are not resolved to our satisfaction, we review the on-going nature of the relationship with that relevant organisation.

Our Approach to Assessing and Managing Risk

1. We have a group-wide policy confirming our zero tolerance of modern slavery and human trafficking.

2. Our policies require that our sub-contractors and suppliers acknowledge their responsibility for adhering to our policies.

3. We have undertaken surveys to identify the key risks in our supply chain and
review these regularly. These surveys inform our risk mapping and prioritisation of high‑risk categories.

4. We have issued minimum procurement standards for certain, high-risk categories of materials and products. We keep these standards under review. These standards form part of our due diligence and supplier onboarding processes.

5. Our contractual terms include obligations on our sub-contractors and suppliers to comply with our policies, including our Anti-slavery and Human Trafficking Policy.

6. Our policies require our subcontractors and suppliers to complete a survey to confirm that they comply with our zero-tolerance policy.

7. We undertake checks on new recruits to ensure that they are eligible to work in the relevant country of employment. These checks form part of our wider safeguarding and right‑to‑work compliance framework.

8. We have continued with training for employees, consultants and contractors on the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking and our processes to mitigate these. Training content is reviewed annually to ensure relevance and alignment with emerging risks.

9. We continue to monitor the effectiveness of our actions against the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. Monitoring activities include internal reviews, supplier assessments, and evaluation of incident reports or concerns raised.

10. We will organise audits of certain key supply chain partners to understand and validate the controls in their organisations and provide an opportunity to learn from best practice. Findings from audits inform our continuous improvement and supplier engagement strategies.

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our actions against modern slavery and human trafficking. Next steps will include:

Continuing to develop further standards to support our Anti-slavery and Human
Trafficking Policy (and related policies).
• Keeping our pre-qualification standards for the appointment of new suppliers and subcontractors under review.
• Continuing to train employees on identifying any potential issues within our
operations and supply chain.
• Updating the assessment of risks of modern slavery in our business and our supply chain.
• Strengthening supplier engagement and communication to reinforce expectations
and share best practice.
• Enhancing data collection and reporting mechanisms to improve transparency and oversight.
