Modern Slavery Statement

Simpson & Partners (EV) Ltd

Financial Year Ending: 2026

Simpson & Partners (EV) Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically, transparently, and with integrity as we design, manufacture, and supply electric vehicle charging products across the UK.

Simpson & Partners (EV) Ltd is a UK‑based designer and manufacturer of domestic and commercial EV charging solutions. Our operations include product design, hardware assembly, software development, and customer support. We work with a range of suppliers for components, materials, logistics, and professional services.

We oppose all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that:

• No part of our business or supply chain is involved in exploitative labour practices.
• Workers are treated fairly, with dignity, and in accordance with local laws.
• Our suppliers uphold the same high standards we expect of ourselves.

Our supply chain includes UK and international suppliers of electronic components, metalwork, plastics, packaging, and logistics services. We recognise that certain regions and industries carry higher risks of labour exploitation, and we take steps to identify and mitigate these risks.

These steps include:

• Working with reputable suppliers who demonstrate ethical labour practices.
• Prioritising long‑term supplier relationships to maintain visibility and accountability.
• Requesting evidence of compliance with labour, safety, and human‑rights standards.

We have implemented internal policies to support our commitment to preventing modern slavery, including:

• Supplier Code of Conduct outlining expected ethical standards.
• Anti‑Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy applicable to all employees and contractors.
• Whistleblowing Policy enabling concerns to be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
• Recruitment Practices ensuring all employees have the right to work in the UK and are employed voluntarily.

We assess potential risks of modern slavery within our supply chain and take appropriate action where concerns arise. This includes:

• Reviewing new suppliers for ethical compliance.
• Monitoring high‑risk categories such as electronics manufacturing and overseas component sourcing.
• Investigating any reported concerns promptly and thoroughly.

If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards, we will take corrective action, which may include suspension or termination of the relationship.

We provide training to relevant staff to help them:

• Recognise signs of modern slavery.
• Understand reporting procedures.
• Engage with suppliers responsibly and ethically.

We are committed to strengthening our approach each year. Over the next 12 months, we aim to:

• Increase supply‑chain transparency.
• Formalise supplier audits for higher‑risk categories.
• Enhance internal reporting and escalation processes.
