Manandvan Maidavale - Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitments of Manandvan Maidavale to combat all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We declare a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation and are committed to acting ethically and transparently in all business dealings. This anti-slavery statement outlines how we prevent, detect and respond to risks of slavery and trafficking, and the concrete steps we take to protect rights and dignity.

The company maintains a clear zero tolerance approach: anyone found to be complicit in forced labour or exploitation will face decisive action, including termination of contracts and legal referral where appropriate. Our slavery and human trafficking statement is backed by senior leadership, and we embed expectations into contracts, procurement processes and employee training. We are unequivocal that modern slavery has no place in our organisation.

We operate a robust supplier assurance programme that includes supplier audits, document reviews and risk-based screening. Supplier audits are scheduled and unannounced where risk indicators exist, and audit results influence corrective action plans. Our procurement teams assess labour practices, working hours, wage compliance and recruitment charges to ensure suppliers meet the standards set out in our modern slavery policy and our broader code of conduct.

Scope, Due Diligence and Reporting Channels

This modern slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and third-party providers engaged by Manandvan Maidavale. We conduct due diligence when onboarding new suppliers and periodically reassess existing suppliers to detect and mitigate risks. Our approach includes mapping supply chains, conducting risk assessments, and prioritising areas where forced labour is more likely to occur.

We maintain multiple, secure reporting channels for concerns about slavery or exploitation. Individuals can report anonymously through internal whistleblowing options, and managers are trained to escalate concerns promptly and confidentially. All reports are investigated with impartiality, and appropriate remediation is provided to victims where exploitation is identified. We encourage a speak-up culture and protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

Key elements of our supplier audit and compliance programme include:

• Pre-engagement screening and risk grading of suppliers.
• On-site and remote audits covering worker documentation, contracts and payroll.
• Corrective action plans with monitored timelines and follow-up visits.
• Capacity building and training for suppliers on ethical recruitment and worker rights.

Governance, Training and Annual Review

Governance of this anti-slavery statement sits with our senior leadership and designated compliance officers who oversee policy implementation and supplier monitoring. We provide regular training for procurement, HR and site managers to improve awareness of indicators of forced labour and effective response mechanisms. Our slavery prevention measures include worker interviews, anonymous feedback mechanisms and collaboration with civil society where necessary.

We enforce contractual clauses requiring suppliers to comply with our modern slavery transparency statement and to permit audits and remediation. Failure to cooperate or repeated non-compliance results in contract termination and removal from our approved supplier list. In cases where exploitation is discovered, we prioritise victim protection, legal remedies and corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Manandvan Maidavale will conduct an annual review of this slavery and human trafficking statement to assess effectiveness and reflect changes in law, risks or business structure. The review includes analysis of audit outcomes, incident reports, remediation effectiveness and progress on supplier training. We will update our policies and practices accordingly and continue to strengthen supply chain transparency and accountability. Through continued diligence and a steadfast zero-tolerance stance, we commit to preventing modern slavery and protecting vulnerable workers across our business relationships.
