MODERN SLAVERY ACT STATEMENT 18/10/2019

STORM NINE is part of the DAMM Solutions group of companies. DAMM Solutions is committed to corporate governance, and lawful and ethical behaviour is of paramount importance and critical to its continued success. The DAMM Solutions Code of Conduct and the DAMM Solutions Supplier Code of Conduct require all DAMM Solutions employees to operate with integrity and transparency in all interactions with clients and other partners and places similar obligations upon its suppliers.

DAMM Solutions is fully supportive of the laws introduced within the United Kingdom through the Modern Slavery Act 2015 to combat slavery, forced or compulsory labour and the trafficking of persons for any purpose ('Slavery and Human Trafficking').

This statement is made in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act and outlines the steps that DAMM Solutions takes and intends to take to protect its business against all forms of Slavery and Human Trafficking.

Doing business in an ethical and responsible manner is already enshrined within DAMM Solution's policies and procedures to ensure that Slavery and Human Trafficking do not occur within DAMM Solutions or its supply chains.

DAMM Solutions requires all its suppliers, employees, agents and subcontractors to adhere to the DAMM Solutions Supplier Code of Conduct while doing business with or on behalf of DAMM Solutions. The DAMM Solutions Supplier Code of Conduct specifically requires use of voluntary labour and prohibits slavery, servitude or the use of forced or compulsory labour and human or labour trafficking and requires all suppliers to comply with applicable laws.

Compliance is supported by a robust Internal Audit function which regularly conducts audits of all areas of our business and works closely with the internal Legal Department to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Risk Assessment

DAMM Solution companies in the United Kingdom have legal obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. In addition, globally the DAMM Solutions Supplier Code of Conduct requires use of voluntary labour only and prohibits Slavery and Human Trafficking. DAMM Solutions communicates the policy to relevant management and employees worldwide.

DAMM Solutions sources its suppliers in a responsible manner under Global Sourcing and Procurement and Third Party Supplier Due Diligence Guidelines and fully expects and requires its suppliers to operate in full compliance with all applicable laws. A failure by a supplier to comply with applicable laws (including as they relate to Slavery and Human Trafficking) would be a justifiable reason for such relationship to be terminated.

Given the nature of our business, DAMM Solutions does not consider that there is a significant risk of Slavery and Human Trafficking within its supply chain or its own business and no instances of Slavery and Human Trafficking have been identified by DAMM Solutions.

DAMM Solutions continues to build upon its robust compliance culture and seeks to maintain its high standards. As part of its ongoing efforts to insure there is no Slavery or Human Trafficking in its supply chain it intends to identify improvements by reviewing its supplier engagement policies, contractual approaches and due diligence processes to continually monitor the risk of Slavery and Human Trafficking.
