Selectron will comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes but is not limited to, the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and any other relevant international legislation.

4. Areas of our business and supply chains where there is a risk of slavery and human trafficking taking place, and the steps taken to assess and manage this risk

At our discretion we will communicate our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking to our suppliers and contractors. Our procurement processes may include clauses that require suppliers and contractors to adhere to anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking principles.

The Company will encourage employees, suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking. We will provide appropriate channels for reporting, and we will treat all reports confidentially and with the utmost seriousness.

We are committed to continuously improving our efforts to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. We will regularly review and update our policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they remain effective and aligned with best practices.

This policy will be reviewed annually or as needed to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. By implementing this policy, we aim to contribute to the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking, uphold human rights, and create a more just and equitable society.
