Modern Slavery Policy and Statement

Industrial Connect Group Ltd (company number 12497815, registered office International House, 6 South Molton Street, London, W1K 5QF) publishes this statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It covers the financial year ending 31 December 2025. It applies to Industrial Connect Group Ltd and its trading names, including Decarb Connect.

Our position

Slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking have no place in our business or our supply chain. We will not knowingly work with anyone who uses them. We expect the same standard from every supplier, venue, contractor and partner we use.

Our business

We organise conferences, exhibitions, digital events and related content and networking services for the industrial decarbonisation sector. We operate from the UK and run events in the UK and Europe. Our direct workforce is small and office-based. Most of our modern slavery risk sits in our suppliers.

Our supply chain and where the risk sits

Our main suppliers are event venues, hospitality and catering, audio visual and production contractors, stand builders, printers and merchandise suppliers, travel and accommodation providers, recruitment and temporary staffing agencies, and technology providers. We see the highest risk in labour-intensive services at live events, such as cleaning, security, catering, build and breakdown, and in temporary labour supplied through agencies.

Our policies

The following apply to our people and suppliers.

• This policy, which the board has approved and which we review every year.
• Our recruitment practice, which uses only reputable agencies, pays at least the legal minimum wage and checks the right to work of every employee.
• Our whistleblowing route, set out below.
• Our supplier expectations, set out below.

Supplier expectations

We expect suppliers to:

• comply with all laws on employment, wages, working time, health and safety, and modern slavery;
• never use forced, bonded, trafficked or child labour;
• let workers keep their own identity documents and leave their employment freely;
• pass equivalent requirements to their own suppliers; and
• tell us promptly if they find or suspect modern slavery in their business.

Due diligence

Before we appoint a new supplier in a higher risk category we ask them to confirm their compliance with this policy and, where they are required to publish one, to share their own modern slavery statement. We include a modern slavery clause in our standard supplier terms. We review higher risk suppliers on appointment and when their contract renews. If we find a breach we will require a corrective plan. If the supplier does not act, we will end the relationship.

Training and awareness

Everyone who books or manages suppliers receives guidance on spotting the signs of modern slavery and on how to escalate a concern. We refresh this every year.

Raising a concern

Anyone, inside or outside the business, can raise a concern in confidence. Email Alex Cameron at hello@industrialconnectgroup.com. We will not penalise anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. We will pass any credible case to the police, the National Crime Agency or the Modern Slavery Helpline (08000 121 700) as appropriate.

Measuring our progress

We track the following and report on them to the board:

• the share of higher risk suppliers that have confirmed compliance;
• the number of concerns raised and how we resolved them; and
• the share of relevant staff who have completed training.

This statement was approved by the board of directors of Industrial Connect Group Ltd on 5 November 2026 and is signed by:
