Anti-Slavery Statement

This statement is made on behalf of Origin Benefits pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the 'Act'), and constitutes our anti-slavery and human trafficking statement.

Policies on Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-Slavery Statement reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

This legislation is a crucially important development in tackling slavery and human trafficking and we will not trade or partner with any business or organisation which is involved in this shocking practice however remotely or indirectly.

We consider that we have an obligation to demonstrate and promote fair and reasonable standards in the treatment of people who are operating within their sphere of influence. This applies to any situation, whether regarding employment, the operation of our business or sourcing our suppliers or other organisations with whom we may work.

Our supply chains

We expect our suppliers and contractors to demonstrate a zero tolerance approach to exploitation and to comply with the provisions of the Act, granting us the right to terminate in the event of their failure to do so.

Measures being taken

We have in place systems to:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains
• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains
• Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains
• Make staff aware of the Modern Slavery Act and informed them of what to do if they suspect there is a case of this
• Protect whistleblowers

As part of our procurement process, we will only engage with suppliers and contractors who confirm their compliance with the Act. We will continue to keep our staff informed and raise awareness of how to recognize and respond to indicators of human rights abuses. We have adapted and re-promoted our existing corporate policies to incorporate modern slavery and human trafficking issues, including our whistleblowing policy which allows employees to report any concerns confidentially.
