Modern Slavery Statement

Our commitment

At Preim, we are committed to doing business in a responsible and ethical way.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation. This applies across our own operations and the partners and suppliers we work with.

We meet our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and operate within a wider group framework that supports consistent standards and oversight.

This statement explains how we work to prevent, identify and address any risk of modern slavery.

Who this applies to

This statement applies to:

• All Preim employees and directors
• Contractors and consultants working with us
• Our suppliers and business partners

It covers all of our UK operations and any organisations providing goods or services to us.

How we approach modern slavery

We take practical steps to ensure modern slavery does not take place in our business or supply chain.

This includes:

• Complying with all relevant laws and regulations
• Identifying and assessing areas of potential risk
• Working with suppliers who share our standards
• Continuing to improve how we manage and monitor risk

We expect the same standards from the organisations we work with.

Governance and accountability

Responsibility sits at a senior level within the business.

• The Board has overall responsibility for this statement
• Senior leadership oversees how it is applied in practice
• HR and procurement teams support training and supplier engagement
• This ensures the approach is embedded across our operations.

Our suppliers

We work with a range of suppliers, particularly within property and estate management services.

We require all suppliers to meet clear standards, including:

• No use of forced, bonded or child labour
• Fair pay and lawful working conditions
• Appropriate oversight of their own supply chains

We may carry out checks where appropriate. If a supplier does not meet our standards, we will take action, which may include ending the relationship.

Risk and due diligence

We carry out regular reviews to identify and manage risk.

This includes:

• Screening suppliers based on risk factors
• Reviewing policies and working practices
• Taking action where issues are identified

We continue to strengthen this approach as part of our wider governance and sustainability work.

Training and awareness

We ensure our people understand the risks and know what to look for.

This includes:

• Training as part of employee induction
• Ongoing refresher training where needed
• Guidance for suppliers on their responsibilities

Raising concerns

We encourage anyone connected with our business to speak up if something does not feel right.

Concerns can be raised through:

• A confidential whistleblowing process
• Directly to a manager, HR, or senior leadership
• All concerns are taken seriously and investigated.

If standards are not met

We take breaches seriously.

This may result in:

• Ending relationships with suppliers or contractors
• Disciplinary action for employees

Our priority is to act quickly and appropriately if any issue is identified.

Ongoing review

This statement is reviewed annually and updated where needed.

Preim is committed to maintaining high standards, working with responsible partners, and continually improving how we protect people from exploitation. This statement reflects our approach in practice and is supported by a wider group framework. The Odevo UK Modern Slavery Statement sets out the group position.
