Hrone London Modern Slavery Statement

Hrone London is committed to a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery and exploitation within its operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Act statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery and human trafficking, and reinforces that our anti-slavery stance is embedded in corporate governance, procurement and daily operations. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour and related abuses can manifest in many ways and we commit to ongoing vigilance and remediation.

We apply this anti-slavery commitment across our UK and international activities. Our approach to anti-slavery and human trafficking includes risk assessment, supplier engagement and clear expectations set out in contractual terms. We insist suppliers, contractors and partners uphold equivalent standards and affirm that any breach of our policies will result in immediate investigation and proportionate action, up to and including termination of contracts.

Scope and Principles of Our Anti-Slavery Policy

Our policy covers employees, temporary workers and third-party service providers. Key principles include:

• Prevention: rigorous supplier selection and onboarding;
• Protection: protecting vulnerable workers and promoting fair treatment;
• Transparency: maintaining clear records and reporting channels;
• Proportionate Remedy: remediation for victims and corrective action for non-compliance.

We publish this anti-slavery statement to describe how we implement our commitments and comply with legal obligations. The company’s leadership team oversees implementation and receives regular updates from compliance and procurement teams. Our policies are communicated to employees via training modules and to suppliers through contractual documentation and supplier codes of conduct.

Supplier Assurance and Audit Programmes

Supplier audits are a central part of our supplier assurance and anti-slavery programme. We conduct targeted due diligence and on-site or remote audits where risk indicators are present. Audits assess labour practices, recruitment processes, wage payment, working hours and the presence of recruitment fees. Findings trigger corrective action plans with clear deadlines and follow-up verification. For higher-risk suppliers, we require documented evidence of ethical labour practices and third-party audit reports.

Our procurement teams use a risk-based approach to monitor supply chains. We prioritise audits for suppliers operating in high-risk sectors or jurisdictions and those with complex subcontracting arrangements. Audit results inform supplier categorisation, ongoing monitoring frequency and, where necessary, supplier disengagement decisions to protect workers and the integrity of our supply chains.

We maintain multiple reporting channels to enable concerns about forced labour, coercion or other modern slavery risks to be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. These reporting channels include internal whistleblowing routes, secure escalation to the compliance team, and anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management when appropriate.

Our reporting framework emphasises protection of whistleblowers, clear investigation timelines and documented outcomes. We ensure that any worker who raises a concern is supported and protected. Where investigations confirm a breach, we take swift remedial action to protect affected individuals and ensure systemic changes to prevent recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous ImprovementWe conduct an annual review of this anti-slavery statement and our mitigation measures to ensure effectiveness and to adapt to evolving risks. The annual review includes analysis of audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and training uptake. Findings are used to update policies, refine risk assessments and allocate resources for further monitoring and capacity building. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed by senior management and approved at board level to ensure robust oversight.

Conclusion: Hrone London remains steadfast in its commitment to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking from its operations and supply chains. Our zero-tolerance approach, supplier audits, secure reporting channels and annual review process together form a proactive framework to identify, prevent and remedy instances of exploitation. We will continue to strengthen our anti-slavery measures and work collaboratively with stakeholders to protect workers and promote ethical supply chains.
