Modern Slavery Statement

At Uptec, we acknowledge modern slavery as a serious human rights issue and are committed to upholding internationally recognised human rights across our operations and supply chains. We believe everyone has the right to dignity, respect, freedom, and opportunity.

We are dedicated to ensuring modern slavery does not occur in our business or supply chains by:

• Adhering to the principles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including the elimination of forced labour, child labour, and workplace discrimination.
• Ensuring all employment is voluntary, with clear terms and conditions, and providing a workplace free from harassment and discrimination.
• Conducting ethical recruitment practices and ensuring employees understand their rights.

We also expect our suppliers and business partners to uphold these high standards and proactively address modern slavery risks. To support this, we:

• Clearly communicate our expectations at the start of and throughout our partnerships.
• Identify and mitigate modern slavery risks in our supply chains.
• Collaborate with partners to address issues and conduct due diligence or audits as required.

We provide training to our team to identify and address modern slavery risks and encourage anyone to report concerns through their managed.

Any instance of modern slavery will be addressed promptly, with actions taken to protect those impacted.
