    Modern Slavery Statement 2026

    Introduction


    Vivisol is committed to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We recognise our legal and ethical responsibility under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 to ensure that
    our business operations and supply chains remain free from exploitation, forced labour, and human trafficking.

    Business Structure and Supply Chains

    • Operations: Vivisol is a homecare service provider to NHS and private organisations. Registered in Scotland with Head Office operations based at Palladian, Gatwick, we
      operate across the UK (including South East Coast, South Central, North East, and Scotland) specializing in Home Oxygen and Respiratory Therapy markets.
    • Supply Chains: Our supply chains encompass manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices, respiratory equipment, logistics providers, sub-contractors, and general corporate service providers.

    Organisational Statement on Modern Slavery

    Vivisol maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking across all operations. Our dedicated Modern Slavery
    statement applies to all direct employees, contractors, and suppliers. This is supported by our broader corporate governance framework, including our Whistleblowing Policy, Code of  Conduct, and Ethical Procurement Practices.


    Due Diligence Processes

    To identify and mitigate risk, Vivisol enforces key due diligence mechanisms across our supply chain:

    • Supplier Vetting: Evaluating new and existing suppliers’ policies and operational practices regarding human rights, fair pay, and labour standards before contract award
    • Contractual Commitments: Embedding mandatory compliance clauses in commercial agreements requiring suppliers to uphold applicable anti-slavery legislation
    • Remediation & Escalation: Engaging directly with suppliers to provide guidance on
      ethical sourcing and establishing clear steps for remediation should non-compliance occur


    Risk Assessment and Management

    We regularly evaluate modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chains by analysing geographic regions, industry sectors, and high-risk categories (such as manufacturing and temporary labour). Information gathered from these assessments prioritises targeted interventions and risk mitigation strategies.

    Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Effectiveness

    To ensure our approach is effective, Vivisol monitors key metrics through regular internal audits and operational reviews. We
    measure our effectiveness using the following key performance indicators:

    • Percentage of staff completing annual modern slavery training
    • Level of supplier compliance and audit completions
    • Engagement with external stakeholders, industry partners, and NGOs to incorporate ethical best practices


    Training and Awareness

    We provide comprehensive training and awareness programs to equip employees and key suppliers with the knowledge to identify and report potential modern
    slavery risks. Training modules cover our Modern Slavery Statement, recognising indicators of forced labour, ethical sourcing practices, and confidential reporting/whistleblowing mechanisms.

    Board Approval and Sign-off

    This statement has been formally approved by the Board of Directors of Vivisol on 1st April
    2026 and constitutes our modern slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year 2026.
