Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

This statement outlines Cambridge GaN Device's (CGD) efforts to identify and address potential risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within its business operations and supply chains. While CGD is not legally required to publish an annual statement due to its turnover being below £36 million, we remain committed to transparency and accountability in this area.

We acknowledge our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. CGD is firmly dedicated to ensuring that our corporate activities and supply chains are free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking.

Scope

This statement applies to CGD’s global business operations. Employees whose responsibilities relate to our supply chain are informed and are expected to assist our compliance with these requirements, associated legislation, and regulations.

Supplier Code of Conduct

We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards across our supply chains. Our suppliers must demonstrate their commitment to providing safe working environments, treating employees with dignity and respect, and complying with ethical labour practices and applicable laws.

CGD expects suppliers to demonstrate Social Responsibility, Ethical, Sustainable and Governance work practices including, but not limited to:

• Anti-bribery, anti-corruption, business fair-play.
• Anti-slavery, anti-child labour, anti-bullying/harassment, equality/diversity and inclusion, whistleblowing.
• Uphold the human rights of workers as understood by the international community by conforming to requirements identified in the labour section of the EICC Code of Conduct.

Code of Conduct

Our code of conduct clearly outlines the standards and behaviours expected from staff representing our organisation. We strive to uphold the highest levels of conduct and ethical practices, both in international operations and throughout our supply chain management.

Whistleblowing Policy

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns related to our business operations or supply chains, including any situations that could pose a risk of modern slavery or human trafficking. Our whistleblowing policy ensures that concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation.

Training

To promote awareness of modern slavery risks within our business and supply chains, we will provide relevant training to our staff where appropriate, ensuring they have a comprehensive understanding of these issues.
