Compliance with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish controls to ensure compliance with all applicable modern slavery and human trafficking legislation. It is designed to assist McAleer & Rushe comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to ensure that the Company’s business is conducted in a socially responsible manner.

Policy Statement

McAleer & Rushe is committed to driving out acts of modern-day slavery and human trafficking within its business and that from within its supply chains, including sub-contractors. The Company acknowledges responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within the organisation and with suppliers of goods and services to the organisation. 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 Modern 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.

The policy gives workers, contractors and other business partners guidance on slavery and human trafficking and the measures taken by the organisation to tackle slavery and human trafficking in the business and its supply chains.

Modern slavery is a crime and a gross violation of fundamental human rights. It takes 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.

It is our policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner. We take a zero-tolerance approach to human trafficking. We are committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships wherever we operate and
implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter human trafficking.

We will uphold all laws relevant to countering modern slavery in all the jurisdictions in which we operate. However, we remain bound by the laws of the UK, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in respect of our conduct both at home and abroad.

Modern slavery is punishable for individuals by imprisonment and a fine. If we are found to have taken part, we could face an unlimited fine, be excluded from tendering for public contracts and face damage to our reputation. We therefore take our legal responsibilities very seriously.

Scope

This policy covers any individual or organisation you come into contact with during the course of your work for us, and includes actual and potential clients, customers, suppliers, distributors, business contacts, agents, advisers, and
government and public bodies, including their advisors, representatives and officials.

This policy applies to all individuals working at all levels
and grades, including senior managers, officers, directors, employees (whether permanent, fixed term or temporary),
consultants, contractors, trainees, agency staff or any other person associated with us, or any of our subsidiaries or
their employees, wherever located (collectively referred to as employees in this policy).

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery & Human Trafficking

As part of the Company’s due diligence processes into
slavery and human trafficking the supplier approval process will incorporate a review of the controls undertaken by the
supplier.

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we limit the geographical scope of our sites to ensure optimum
supervision of the use of our properties.

Where possible we build long standing relationships with
local suppliers and clients and make clear our expectations of business behaviour.

With regards to national or international supply chains, our point contact is preferably with a UK company or branch,
and we expect these entities to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes. We expect each entity in the supply chain to, at least, adopt ‘one-up’ due diligence on the next link in the chain.
