Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Simms operates a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and it continues to be a priority for Simms to ensure that we demonstrate our commitment to trade ethically, source responsibly and work to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our organisation and in any part of our supply chain or business. This statement aims to provide our employees, partners, suppliers, and customers with information to make informed decisions about the products and services that they buy and the companies that they support and work with.

Modern slavery takes various forms such as servitude and forced labour, human trafficking and child labour, all of which have in common the exploitation or intended exploitation of the victim and deprivation of the victim’s freedom.

This statement provides some information about our organisation and supply chains, together with the steps we have taken in the financial year ending 31 December 2025 to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.

Our organisation

We are a specialist memory distributor in the IT sector. We have c30 employees and operate in the UK. Our Vision “Enabling the world to manage data through world-class memory and storage solutions” is our starting point and north star.

We believe our vision gives our employees, partners, suppliers, and customers an emotional and intellectual connection with Simms beyond its operational characteristics. Further it acts as a reference point to check every decision we make before we make it.

Our vision is part of the first of 10 areas of the business growth framework which Simms is fully committed to. We see the framework as a natural evolution of both our teamwork and holistic approach to business. This framework coupled with our 7 guiding principles is the foundation of Simms strategic plan.

Our supply chain

Our supply chains consist of product and service suppliers who work with us to ensure we deliver our vision. These suppliers are based in the UK and Internationally.

We have policies and procedures in place which are designed to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains. These include our Simms International plc Antislavery and Human Trafficking Policy and our Simms International plc Whistleblowing Policy. These policies highlight the protection of whistle-blowers and the responsibility of every employee to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicions or concerns that they have that any form of modern slavery may be taking place in any part of our business or supply chains.

We are further committed to and undertake to ensure colleagues receive remuneration in excess of any Minimum Wage requirements.

Measures taken to identify and address modern slavery risks

Although we have robust policies and procedures in place designed to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery within our business and supply chains we are committed over the next financial year to the following:

Ensuring to the extent we can, that our suppliers (especially those in any higher risk jurisdictions) have suitable policies in place and show commitment towards ensuring ongoing vigilance of the work environment, including working hours, wages and benefits, social support, discrimination, harassment and equal opportunity, child labour, forced labour, foreign workers, occupational health, grievance mechanisms and access to remedy).

We are also actively looking at solutions in order to roll out online training around Modern Slavery for our workforce.

To ensure we continue to maintain diligence with our right to work checks, we are looking into the use of relevant digital checking services to improve our systems for new employees during 2026.

We will, during this financial year, raise awareness within our business regarding the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking through implementing the above.

This statement has been approved by the Executive Leadership Team and relates to the financial year ending December 2025.
