Purpose

Platform One recognises the important role we play in respecting and promoting human rights and contributing to the eradication of modern slavery. We acknowledge that modern slavery is a complex global issue requiring collective commitment, transparency, and responsibility. Platform One is committed to working with our employees, suppliers, partners, and stakeholders to help eliminate modern slavery in all its forms.

The purpose of this Policy is to ensure that Platform One and its related group entities:

• comply with all local, national, and applicable international laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate;
• source products and services responsibly, in accordance with legal obligations and community expectations, while working with suppliers to improve their social and environmental practices;

Staff Education, Reporting and Whistleblowing

Employees are directed to the Australian Government’s Modern Slavery website for further education, resources, and reporting guidance:

https://www.modernslavery.gov.au/support-someone-else/report-suspected-modern-slavery

This resource provides practical information on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding reporting pathways, and supporting individuals at risk.

Platform One also provides internal whistleblowing channels allowing confidential and protected reporting of concerns.

Legislative Context

The Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (effective 1 January 2019) does not require Platform One to submit annual public Modern Slavery Statements. However, Platform One has voluntarily implemented this Policy to manage and reduce modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chains.
