5. Our Supply Chain and Supplier Relationships
Our supply chains span multiple regions and industries, including office services and property
management services. We are committed to partnering with suppliers who share our values and
ethics and who actively work to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in their own
operations.
As part of our supplier due diligence, we require all suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of
Conduct, which outlines specific expectations regarding compliance with labour laws, ethical
practices, and human rights. This Code mandates that:
• Suppliers must avoid any form of forced or child labour.
• Suppliers must pay workers fairly and comply with all regulations regarding working hours
and wages.
• Suppliers are required to establish internal mechanisms to monitor their own supply chains
for signs of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking.
We reserve the right to audit and assess suppliers' compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct,
and any failure to comply could result in corrective actions, including the termination of the business
relationship.
6. Risk Assessments and Due Diligence
Odevo UK Limited carries out regular risk assessments to identify potential areas of concern for
modern slavery within our operations and supply chain. These assessments are part of a broader due
diligence process designed to ensure that modern slavery risks are effectively mitigated.
Our risk assessment processes include:
• Supplier risk screening: Identifying high-risk suppliers and regions where modern slavery is
more likely to occur.
• Due diligence checks: Reviewing suppliers' policies and practices to ensure compliance with
modern slavery laws and our Supplier Code of Conduct.
• Corrective actions: Establishing clear protocols for addressing any non-compliance identified
during assessments, including working with suppliers to resolve issues.

human trafficking and are equipped to report concerns. We will:
• Provide mandatory training on modern slavery and human trafficking as part of the
induction process for all new employees.
• Offer refresher training annually, or as needed, to ensure that our staff remains vigilant in
recognising and reporting any concerns related to modern slavery.
• Implement training for suppliers to ensure they understand their responsibilities under the
Supplier Code of Conduct and are able to identify and address risks within their own
operations and supply chains.

any concerns related to modern slavery, human trafficking, or unethical practices. We provide the
following channels for reporting:
• Whistleblowing Policy: We have established a confidential reporting mechanism for
whistleblowers, ensuring anonymity and protection from retaliation.
• Direct Reporting: Employees and contractors are encouraged to report concerns directly to
their manager, HR, or the Group General Counsel if they suspect or discover any instance of

We ensure that all reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. If necessary, we will engage
independent third parties to conduct investigations, particularly if allegations are complex or cross-
