This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by Sovereign Industrial Group Limited ("SIGL") to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business or supply chains.

1. Our Business

SIGL is a UK-incorporated holding company operating as an advanced manufacturing buy-and-build group, with operations and supply chain relationships spanning the automotive and aerospace sectors. Our subsidiaries operate across England, supplying tier-one and tier-two components to major original equipment manufacturers.

2. Our Policies

We operate a number of internal policies relevant to modern slavery risk, including:

• Our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets out our expectations of ethical behaviour throughout the supply chain
• Our Whistleblowing Policy, which enables employees and third parties to report concerns confidentially
• Our Recruitment Policy, which requires all hiring to be conducted through reputable channels with right-to-work checks
• This Modern Slavery Statement

3. Due Diligence

We conduct due diligence on our supply chain to assess and address modern slavery risk. This includes:

• Risk assessments of new and existing suppliers, with enhanced scrutiny applied to higher-risk geographies and sectors
• Supplier questionnaires covering labour practices, working conditions, and modern slavery compliance
• Contractual provisions requiring suppliers to comply with applicable laws, including modern slavery legislation
• Ongoing monitoring and periodic supplier reviews

4. Risk Assessment

We have assessed that the principal modern slavery risks within our operations are low, given that our workforce is predominantly UK-based and engaged through direct employment. We remain vigilant, particularly in relation to sub-tier supply chains in regions with higher prevalence of labour exploitation.

5. Training & Awareness

We provide awareness training to employees whose roles involve supply chain management and procurement. All new employees receive onboarding information relating to our ethical standards and how to report concerns.

6. Key Performance Indicators

We will measure the effectiveness of our actions through:

• Completion rates of modern slavery training by relevant staff
• Number of suppliers assessed against our Supplier Code of Conduct
• Number and outcome of concerns raised through our Whistleblowing Policy
