Modern Slavery Act

Commitment to the Principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Attends Ltd. (“Attends”) is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within both its business and supply chain. This statement sets out our plan to prevent slavery and human trafficking from taking place in any of its supply chains or in any part of its business for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.

Company Structure & Supply Chains

Attends distributes incontinence and continence care products for men and women worldwide, manufactured by Attends Healthcare AB, our affiliated company in Sweden. We serve customers and the NHS through wholesalers, retail, online, and pharmacies. Attends and Attends Healthcare AB are part of Attindas Hygiene Partners group (“Attindas”), with production facilities in Europe and North America.

Policies 

We respect human rights. The Attindas Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy prohibit forced labor, involuntary prison labor, human trafficking, and slavery. These policies apply to our people and business partners. Our code is available at https://www.attindas.com/governance.

Our Sourcing Responsibly Policy and Code of Conduct for Suppliers set out principles for supplier selection, evaluation, and retention, covering Environmental, Human Rights, Social, Health & Safety, and Governance matters. Attindas is a participant in the UN Global Compact (https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/152266-Attindas-Hygiene-Partners) and supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 16.

Risk Assessment & Due Diligence

We assess modern slavery risks in our supply chain based on geography, sector, and supplier type. Suppliers complete ESG questionnaires and provide documentation on Quality, Regulatory, Environmental, Human Rights, Social, and Ethics matters. Social audits (e.g., SMETA) are conducted for suppliers in higher-risk countries.

Suppliers must meet our Code of Conduct for Suppliers, including requirements to respect human rights, prohibit child and forced labor, ensure fair treatment, comply with wage and labor laws, and maintain safe workplaces. Non-compliance is investigated and may result in termination of the supplier relationship.

Training & Performance Indicators

All relevant Attends staff receive regular training on modern slavery and human trafficking. Key performance indicators include:

  • Percentage of assigned employees completing modern slavery training
  • Number and percentage of suppliers meeting our Supplier Code of Conduct  
  • Results of supplier audits and risk assessments

Effectiveness & Continuous Improvement

We monitor the effectiveness of our actions through training completion rates, supplier audit outcomes, and incident reporting. We are committed to regularly reviewing and improving our policies and procedures to strengthen our approach to preventing modern slavery.

Activities for 2026

In 2026, Attends will continue modern slavery training, supplier evaluation, and effectiveness monitoring. We will review and update our policies and procedures as needed.

Summary

We support the government’s objective to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking and acknowledge our role in combating it and supporting victims. We are committed to ensuring our supply chains and business activities are free from ethical and labor standards abuse.

This statement is made following the principles of Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and is valid for the financial year commencing 1 January 2026 and ending 31 December 2026.
