Our position

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 Policy 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.

As an equal-opportunities employer, we are also committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff.

We have zero tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking in our businesses and supply-chain. As a result of this we are committed to maintaining systems and controls which are designed to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking taking place within Allison Homes or in our supply chain. Our Whistleblowing policy provides clarity for employees and others working in our supply chain to report a suspected breach of this statement.

The risks relating to modern slavery and human trafficking can apply anywhere in our operations. We therefore expect our suppliers and sub-contractors to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking within their own businesses. We therefore require them to report any instances of modern slavery and human trafficking to us as soon as they become aware of them. We have informed them of the law and the actions they must take. If issues are identified and not resolved to our satisfaction, we will take any necessary remedial action as appropriate which may include a review of the relationship.

To assess and manage the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking we have:

• Continued to make our staff aware of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and inform them of the appropriate action to take if they suspect a case of slavery or human trafficking;
• Updated our company polices, including modern slavery;
• Encourage all of our supply chain to confirm that they are taking positive steps to eliminate human trafficking and modern slavery;
• We monitor the effectiveness of our actions to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking by reviewing our policies and our procurement standards; and
• We undertake checks to ensure that any new employees are eligible to work in the UK for us;

Targets for 2025

During 2025, we will continue to assess and manage the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking to our businesses and supply chain by undertaking the following activities:

• Continuing to develop a staff awareness strategy for the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and reporting mechanisms if a case of slavery or human trafficking is suspected.
