HR ONE LONDON LIMITED - Modern Slavery Statement

HR ONE LONDON LIMITED publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our commitment to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and any form of exploitation across our operations. This anti-slavery statement outlines our zero-tolerance approach, supplier due-diligence, reporting channels and how we perform an annual review of our modern slavery policy and practices.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, which is embedded in our code of conduct and procurement procedures. All staff, contractors and partners are expected to adhere to the anti-slavery statement and recognise that any breach will result in prompt investigation and disciplinary action. We are resolute in identifying, preventing and remediating risks and will not tolerate misconduct that amounts to slavery or human trafficking.

Scope and responsibilities

Our slavery and human trafficking statement applies to all areas of HR ONE LONDON LIMITED including recruitment, supply chains and third-party service providers. The Board and senior management share accountability for enforcing the modern slavery policy, while managers and procurement teams are responsible for operational compliance. We provide awareness training to employees to help them identify and report concerns.

Risk assessment and supplier audits

We conduct risk assessments across our supply chain and maintain a programme of supplier audits and checks. Audits evaluate labour practices, working hours, recruitment fees, living conditions and contractual compliance. Where high-risk suppliers are identified, we implement enhanced due diligence including document checks, site visits and independent verification.

Our supplier audit protocol includes:

• pre-engagement screening and risk scoring;
• contract clauses that prohibit forced labour and require compliance with anti-slavery laws;
• periodic onsite or remote audits and corrective action plans;
• rights to terminate agreements for serious or unresolved breaches.

These measures are designed to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our procurement and resourcing activities.

We also require that our key suppliers sign a declaration confirming their compliance with applicable anti-slavery legislation and our standards. For recruitment partners, we prohibit charging recruitment fees to workers and monitor recruitment channels closely. We encourage transparency throughout the supply chain and seek contractual rights to verify conditions directly.

To support individuals who may be affected, HR ONE LONDON LIMITED provides multiple reporting channels and whistleblowing safeguards. Employees and external parties can raise concerns confidentially through secure internal reporting lines, anonymously via third-party hotlines, or to designated compliance officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and protected from retaliation. Clear reporting channels are essential for early detection and remediation of exploitation.

When an allegation is substantiated, we take proportionate remedial action that may include supply chain remediation, worker support measures, termination of contracts and cooperation with relevant enforcement authorities. We commit to supporting affected individuals with practical assistance, and where appropriate, to work with NGOs or statutory agencies to ensure victims receive necessary care.

Transparency and continuous improvement underpin our approach. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies through key performance indicators, audit outcomes and the number and resolution of reported incidents. We maintain records of supplier risk assessments and their remediation plans to demonstrate ongoing compliance with our anti-slavery framework.

Each year the Board conducts an annual review of this modern slavery statement and associated policies to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving legal requirements and best practice. The annual review examines training uptake, audit results, incident reports and the responsiveness of our reporting channels. Any identified gaps lead to revisions of procedures, enhanced supplier engagement or additional resource allocation.

In closing, HR ONE LONDON LIMITED reiterates its strong position against modern slavery and forced labour. Our combined strategy of a robust zero-tolerance policy, systematic supplier audits, safe reporting channels and a rigorous annual review ensures our continued commitment to eradicate slavery from our operations and supply chains. We will continue to evolve our modern slavery policy and anti-slavery statement to reflect lessons learned and emerging risks.
