This is the Suntera Global human trafficking and anti-slavery statement.
This statement was last updated on 4th December 2023.
This Human Traffic and Slavery Statement (this “Statement”) exists to set out the expectations of Suntera Group Limited and our global subsidiaries (“Suntera”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) with regard to observing and upholding our zero-tolerance position on human trafficking and slavery.
We are committed to conducting our business in an ethical and honest manner and to implementing and enforcing systems that ensure human trafficking and slavery is prevented at all times. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. We recognise that it can take various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and expect all companies across the Group to implement and enforce effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation.
We are also committed to ensuring that there is transparency in our business and that our approach is consistent with our disclosure obligations under all relevant applicable Modern Slavery laws. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners, and expect all contractors to operate with specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children, and we expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.
This Statement sets out the Group expectation, applicable to all Suntera employees (whether temporary, fixed-term, or permanent), consultants, contractors, trainees, seconded staff, home workers, casual workers, agency staff, volunteers, interns, agents, sponsors, or any other person or persons associated with us (including third-parties), or any of our subsidiaries or their employees, no matter where they are located. This Statement is also applicable to our Officers, Trustees, Board, and/or Committee members at any level.
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate the risk of human trafficking and slavery practices we routinely:
If you suspect that there is an instance of human trafficking or slavery activities occurring in relation to Suntera, you are encouraged to raise your concerns at as early a stage as possible. Please address any concerns to:
Group General Counsel, Suntera Global

We expect all companies across the Group to adopt control systems and procedures to prevent human trafficking and slavery and to review the same regularly to ensure they are effective in practice.
