Wattly Human Trafficking and Slavery Statement

1. Introduction

Wattly is committed to conducting its business ethically and with integrity. We recognise the importance of combating human trafficking, slavery, and all forms of forced labour. This statement outlines the steps Wattly takes to ensure that human trafficking and slavery are not present in our business operations or supply chains.

2. Our Policy

Wattly has a zero-tolerance approach to human trafficking and slavery. We are committed to acting transparently, ethically, and with integrity in all our business dealings. We ensure that our suppliers and partners share our commitment to upholding human rights and preventing any form of exploitation.

3. Due Diligence Processes

To ensure the absence of slavery and human trafficking in our operations, Wattly has implemented the following due diligence processes:

• Supplier Assessment: We evaluate our suppliers based on their commitment to ethical practices, including their policies on human trafficking and slavery. We require that our suppliers comply with all relevant laws and regulations concerning human rights.
• Contractual Obligations: Our contracts with suppliers include clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who do not meet these standards.
• Training: We provide training to our employees and partners to help them recognise and report any signs of human trafficking or forced labour. This training is designed to ensure that all staff understand the importance of these issues and know how to act if they encounter them.

4. Risk Management

Wattly recognises that certain parts of our supply chain may pose higher risks for human trafficking and slavery. To mitigate these risks, we:

• Continuously monitor and assess our supply chains, focusing on high-risk areas.
• Engage with suppliers and partners to promote best practices and improve transparency.
• Work with third-party auditors to review and verify our supply chain practices when necessary.

5. Reporting and Accountability

Wattly encourages all employees, suppliers, and partners to report any concerns regarding human trafficking or slavery. We provide a confidential reporting mechanism for this purpose and ensure that all reports are investigated thoroughly.

Any employee, supplier, or partner found to be involved in human trafficking or slavery will face disciplinary action, including the termination of contracts or employment where appropriate.

6. Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Wattly is committed to continuously improving our efforts to combat human trafficking and slavery. We regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure they are effective and aligned with the latest best practices and legal requirements.

7. Conclusion

Wattly is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all aspects of our business. We believe that by working together with our employees, suppliers, and partners, we can contribute to the global fight against human trafficking and slavery.
