ModernSlaveryStatement

For more than a century, Haarslev has provided technologies, systems, and services that enable customers to recover, recycle, and upcycle valuable resources from animal, poultry, fish, and food industry by-products. Haarslev's supply chain supports the design, manufacture, installation, and servicing of processing equipment and systems. Key supplier categories include suppliers of steel and metal components, mechanical and electrical equipment, industrial machinery and spare parts, logistics and transportation services, as well as professional and technical services. Originating in Denmark, Haarslev operates globally through manufacturing facilities, service operations, and sales organisations across multiple regions.

Haarslev's commitment to human rights is set out in our Global Human Rights Policy. The policy applies globally across all Haarslev entities and is guided by internationally recognised standards, including:

• The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights,
• The International Bill of Human Rights,
• The International Labour Organization (ILO) Core Conventions,
• Applicable national and international legal requirements.

We recognize that modern slavery risks may arise within global supply chains due to factors such as geographic location, labour practices, recruitment methods, industry sector, supply chain complexity, use of contractors and intermediaries.

Haarslev applies a risk-based approach to human rights due diligence and supplier management. We conduct ongoing risk assessment and screenings, prioritizing risks based on their severity and likelihood to ensure appropriate action where needed.

All suppliers, contractors, consultants, agents, and other business partners are expected to comply with Haarslev's Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code requires business partners to respect internationally recognised human rights, prohibit forced labour, child labour and modern slavery, provide safe and healthy working conditions, respect freedom of association and collective bargaining rights, provide lawful wages and benefits, promote non-discrimination and equal treatment, and to operate ethically and responsibly.

We expect and require suppliers to apply equivalent standards throughout their own supply chains and business relationships.

Haarslev conducts due diligence on its business partners as part of onboarding and ongoing compliance activities. These processes may include; screening, risk assessments, human rights reviews, supplier engagement, self-assessment questionnaires, contractual compliance commitments, and compliance audits where appropriate.

Enhanced due diligence is conducted where elevated risk indicators are identified. If concerns arise, we work with the relevant business partner to address them and reserve the right to terminate the relationship where issues cannot be satisfactorily resolved.

Haarslev's Employee Code of Conduct explicitly prohibits all forms of modern slavery within our operations and value chain.

We are committed to ensuring that all work is performed voluntarily and under fair and transparent conditions. We do not tolerate forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, child labour, retention of identity documents, recruitment fees charged to workers, any form of coercion, exploitation, abuse or intimidation.

We support fair wages, safe working conditions, freedom of association, equal opportunities, and respect for all employees.

Haarslev provides regular compliance training and awareness activities to support implementation and understanding of, and compliance with, its policies and standards.

Training may include:

• E-learning programmes
• Policy awareness initiatives
• Compliance webinars
• Periodic policy updates
• Management engagement and monitoring activities

Responsibility for human rights and modern slavery risk management is embedded within Haarslev's governance framework.

The Board of Directors oversees Haarslev's approach to responsible business conduct, while operational responsibility for implementation is assigned to Group Legal, supported by Human Resources and other relevant functions. Human rights, compliance, sustainability, and ESG-related matters are subject to regular review and monitoring.

Haarslev is committed to continuously strengthening its approach to preventing and addressing modern slavery risks.

We regularly review our policies, due diligence processes, supplier management practices, training programmes, governance framework, and ESG reporting activities to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving legal requirements and stakeholder expectations.

Through these efforts, we seek to promote respect for human rights and ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or value chain.
