Modern Slavery Statement

1. Introduction

ESG Strategy Pty Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we have taken to understand and address modern slavery risks, in accordance with the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018.

2. Our Business

ESG Strategy is a sustainability consultancy providing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) advisory services to mid-tier Australian businesses. We are headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and our services are primarily knowledge-based, delivered by our team of sustainability professionals.

3. Our Supply Chain

As a professional services firm, our supply chain is relatively simple and includes:

• Technology and software providers
• Professional services (legal, accounting, marketing)
• Office supplies and equipment
• Travel and accommodation providers
• Subcontractors and specialist consultants

4. Risk Assessment

We have assessed our operations and supply chain for modern slavery risks. Given our business model as a professional services consultancy based in Australia with a limited supply chain, we consider our direct modern slavery risk to be low. However, we recognise that risks may exist further down our supply chain and remain vigilant.

5. Our Actions

We have taken the following steps to address modern slavery risks:

• Policy Framework: We have established policies that reflect our commitment to ethical conduct and human rights.
• Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence on new suppliers and partners, including consideration of their approach to modern slavery.
• Supplier Engagement: We communicate our expectations regarding ethical practices to our suppliers.
• Training: We educate our team on modern slavery risks and how to identify and report concerns.
• Reporting: We have mechanisms for reporting concerns about potential modern slavery.

6. Our Expertise

As a sustainability consultancy, we assist our clients in understanding and addressing modern slavery risks in their own operations and supply chains. This includes helping them prepare Modern Slavery Statements, conduct supply chain risk assessments, and develop remediation strategies.

7. Measuring Effectiveness

We assess the effectiveness of our actions by:

• Reviewing supplier due diligence outcomes
• Monitoring any concerns raised through our reporting mechanisms
• Tracking team training completion
• Annual review of our risk assessment

8. Governance

This statement has been approved by the Principal of ESG Strategy Pty Ltd and will be reviewed annually.
