Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement

Last updated: 23 June 2026

Finerfilters Limited is committed to acting ethically, conducting business responsibly, and taking steps to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business activities and supply chains.

We believe that all workers should be treated with dignity and respect. Forced labour, servitude, human trafficking and exploitative working practices have no place in our business.

1. Our commitment

We are committed to:

  • acting with integrity in our business dealings;
  • treating people fairly and with respect;
  • complying with applicable employment and business laws;
  • taking a responsible approach to the suppliers and business partners we work with; and
  • raising awareness of the importance of preventing modern slavery and unethical labour practices.

2. Our business and supply-chain approach

We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise in different parts of a business and its supply chain.

We aim to take a responsible approach when:

  • selecting suppliers and business partners;
  • entering into and maintaining commercial relationships;
  • reviewing how goods and services are sourced; and
  • responding to concerns about employment or labour practices.

We do not knowingly conduct business with any organisation involved in slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, human trafficking or other exploitative labour practices.

3. Supplier expectations

We expect our suppliers and business partners to:

  • operate lawfully;
  • act ethically;
  • treat workers fairly and with respect;
  • maintain appropriate employment and working standards; and
  • take reasonable steps within their own organisations and supply chains to help prevent modern slavery.

This includes taking appropriate steps to help prevent:

  • modern slavery;
  • human trafficking;
  • forced or compulsory labour;
  • servitude;
  • child labour;
  • coercion or restriction of workers’ freedom; and
  • exploitative or abusive labour practices.

Where concerns arise, we may investigate the matter, request further information and review the relevant supplier or business relationship.

Depending on the seriousness of the concern and the response received, we may require corrective action or reconsider whether the commercial relationship should continue.

4. Employment standards

We are committed to maintaining fair and lawful working practices within our own business.

We expect our employment practices to reflect applicable legal standards, including those relating to:

  • lawful recruitment;
  • pay and working arrangements;
  • working hours;
  • fair treatment of workers;
  • appropriate and safe working conditions;
  • freedom from coercion, abuse or exploitation; and
  • the right of workers to raise genuine concerns.

We do not support the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour.

5. Due diligence and review

We aim to keep our business and supply-chain practices under review and to consider modern slavery risks as part of our wider approach to responsible business conduct.

Our approach may include:

  • considering relevant risks when selecting suppliers;
  • reviewing supplier relationships where concerns arise;
  • requesting information or assurances from suppliers and business partners;
  • raising identified concerns with the organisations involved;
  • considering whether corrective action is required; and
  • reviewing whether a supplier or commercial relationship should continue.

The level of review undertaken may depend on factors including the supplier, product, location, nature of the relationship and any concerns identified.

6. Reporting concerns

We encourage employees, suppliers, business partners and other relevant parties to report genuine concerns relating to:

  • modern slavery;
  • human trafficking;
  • forced or compulsory labour;
  • servitude;
  • exploitation;
  • coercion;
  • abusive working practices; or
  • other serious ethical or labour issues.

Concerns raised will be considered and addressed as appropriate.

Where necessary, we may seek further information, investigate the concern, raise the matter with the relevant supplier or business partner, or refer the matter to an appropriate authority.

7. Training and awareness

We recognise that awareness is an important part of identifying and responding to modern slavery risks.

Where appropriate, we may provide relevant employees with information or guidance to help them:

  • recognise possible indicators of modern slavery or exploitation;
  • understand how concerns should be reported;
  • respond appropriately to concerns; and
  • consider ethical and labour standards when working with suppliers and business partners.

8. Ongoing commitment

We recognise that helping to prevent modern slavery requires ongoing attention and review.

Finerfilters Limited will continue to:

  • support responsible business practices;
  • take modern slavery considerations seriously;
  • review concerns where they arise;
  • consider appropriate improvements to our processes; and
  • encourage ethical conduct within our business and supply-chain relationships.
