Modern Slavery Statement
Purpose
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all of which involve depriving a person’s liberty to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. Nexa Soul Ltd. is committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. This statement is made pursuant to section 54 (1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, setting out the steps Nexa Soul Ltd. has taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our supply chains or any part of our operations.

Our Supply Chains
Nexa Soul Ltd. is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We carefully vet and approve our suppliers to ensure compliance with ethical standards.

We work with colleagues in the tech industry and relevant agencies to inform and mitigate these risks.
Identifying and Mitigating Potential Risk in Our Supply Chains
Nexa Soul Ltd. is committed to acquiring goods and services without causing harm to others.

We require all suppliers to adhere to our Supply Chain Code of Conduct, which covers social, ethical, and environmental compliance as well as economic development. We use a template tender document that includes full sustainable procurement references and a Modern Slavery Act compliance question.
Next Steps
Nexa Soul Ltd. will continue to address modern slavery in the tendering process through minimum standards, specifications, and contract management. We will reassess areas of concern around modern slavery with identified supply categories, suppliers, and their supply chains where appropriate. Our procurement team will undergo regular training to ensure comprehensive awareness of human rights and modern slavery risks associated with each commodity category. We will continue to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking issues across our company through stakeholder training and communication plans. Our procurement policy will be regularly updated to ensure coverage regarding modern slavery in supplier terms and conditions.
By taking these steps, Nexa Soul Ltd. aims to contribute to the global fight against modern slavery and human trafficking, ensuring ethical practices throughout our business operations.
