MODERN SLAVERY ACT TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT 

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. It constitutes the slavery and human trafficking statement for Line Equipment Ltd for the financial year ending December 31, 2017. 

Line Equipment Ltd is committed to ensuring that we conduct our business in a way that supports the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking, including through our supply chain. We strive to ensure that our business and supply chain reflect our values, which include the respect for human rights and a belief that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. We continuously aim to improve our practices to combat modern slavery and human trafficking and to work with and encourage our suppliers to uphold these principles. More specifically:

• Line Equipment Ltd has a Code of Business Conduct and a Global Ethics and Compliance open line approach via it’s Managing Director. Our Code of Business Conduct establishes ethical business conduct as critical to our business and our expectation of compliance with applicable laws. It enables and encourages employees to escalate any violations of which they become aware. Regular training is provided to all Line Equipment Ltd employees to reinforce these principles and expectations and the awareness of our Code of Business Conduct in general.

• While all Line Equipment Ltd employees are required to respect the principles on human rights and labour standards pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct, we additionally would not continue to purchase goods or services from any supplier that is found to be engaging in human trafficking or using slave labour or that would otherwise refuse to comply with the requirements at stake. 

• No incident related to forced labour or human trafficking in the organisation or supply chain was identified by Line Equipment Ltd in 2017.
