Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

Medical Transportation Devices Limited is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with integrity. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains.

We support the principles set out in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and are committed to promoting transparency and accountability within our organisation and across our supplier network.

We are committed to:

• Acting with honesty and integrity in all business relationships 
• Treating all individuals with dignity and respect 
• Complying with applicable employment, labour, and human rights laws 
• Ensuring that forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking are not present in our operations or supply chain 
• Ensuring that workers are not subject to threats, harassment, or intimidation 
• Ensuring that workers are free to terminate employment and move freely 
• Ensuring that workers are not required to pay recruitment fees or surrender original identification documents 
• Prohibiting discrimination in any form 
• Supporting access to remedy, compensation, and justice where issues arise 

We expect our suppliers, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same high standards.

Medical Transportation Devices Limited recognises that modern slavery risks can arise at different stages of the procurement process. We therefore consider modern slavery risks when sourcing goods and services and when engaging with suppliers.

We aim to:

• Assess whether goods we source or supply may present a higher risk of forced labour or child labour 
• Identify nd monitor risk areas within our supply chain 
• Ensure modern slavery considerations are included at each stage of the procurement process 
• Review our purchasing practices to ensure they do not place undue pressure on suppliers that could increase the risk of exploitative practices 
• Maintain oversight of supplier relationships and engage directly with key suppliers      

Where appropriate, we seek to engage with suppliers to ensure they understand and comply with relevant modern slavery standards. For higher-risk suppliers, we may provide guidance or encourage awareness of relevant policies and good practice.

We take proportionate, risk-based steps to assess and minimise the risk of modern slavery within our business and supply chain. These steps include:

• Engaging with reputable and established suppliers 
• Conducting basic risk assessments when onboarding new suppliers 
• Requesting confirmation that suppliers comply with relevant labour laws and ethical standards 
• Considering risk factors such as geography, industry, and type of goods 
• Investigating suppliers where concerns or risks are identified 
• Taking appropriate action, which may include requesting corrective measures or terminating the relationship 

We also consider measures that help reduce the risk of workers being trapped in debt bondage, such as encouraging ethical recruitment practices and fair working conditions within our supply chain.

Where appropriate, we will seek to align with recognised standards and may engage with external organisations, industry bodies, or guidance from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to support our understanding and management of modern slavery risks.

We are committed to ensuring that individuals within our business and supply chain have access to appropriate channels to raise concerns.

We encourage employees, suppliers, and partners to report any concerns regarding unethical conduct, including modern slavery risks.

We will:

• Provide clear channels for raising concerns 
• Treat all reports seriously and investigate appropriately 
• Handle concerns confidentially where possible 
• Not tolerate any retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good  faith 

Where appropriate, we support access to representation and fair processes for individuals affected by labour concerns.

We also maintain processes for responding to suspected instances of modern slavery in line with good practice.

We ensure that employees are made aware of modern slavery risks as part of their induction and ongoing awareness.

Where higher-risk suppliers are identified, we may encourage or support their awareness of modern slavery requirements and good practice.

We are committed to improving awareness within our organisation and supply chain as our business grows.

We are committed to continuously improving our approach to managing modern slavery risks.

As our business develops, we will consider implementing key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor:

• Supplier compliance and engagement 
• Completion of internal awareness and training 
• Effectiveness of due diligence processes 
• Identification and management of supply chain risks 
• 
  

Senior management at Medical Transportation Devices Limited are responsible for overseeing the implementation of this policy and ensuring it is applied appropriately within the organisation.

We recognise that our approach to modern slavery will continue to evolve. We are committed to:

• Regularly reviewing this policy 
• Improving our due diligence and risk management processes 
• Strengthening supplier engagement 
• Enhancing awareness and training within the organisation
