Modern Slavery Statement
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 and the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “MSA“) each requires certain businesses to publish an annual statement specifying the efforts taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in their business or supply chain. ARMOR-X LTD is opposed to slavery and human trafficking in any part of its activities and supply chains, and is therefore committed to ensuring that we have adequate policies and procedures in place to identify and prevent these practices.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking
Our efforts to manage our supply chain relationships responsibly include the following actions:
- Verification of Product Supply Chains. ARMOR-X strives to establish close relationships with its suppliers and requires that they comply with all aspects of the RBA Code of Conduct including those aspects that relate to modern slavery and/or human trafficking.
- Supplier Audits. ARMOR-X reserves the right to verify supplier compliance with company standards and the RBA Code of Conduct. ARMOR-X utilizes independent third party auditors to perform announced supplier audits and verify supplier compliance. If ARMOR-X becomes aware of any actions or conditions not in compliance with its company standards and/or the RBA Code of Conduct, ARMOR-X reserves the right to demand corrective measures which may include terminating the supplier’s contract.
- Certification Requirements for Direct Suppliers. ARMOR-X requires its direct suppliers to certify that materials incorporated into the products comply with the laws regarding modern slavery and human trafficking of the country or countries in which they are doing business. ARMOR-X presents the RBA Code of Conduct as a total supply chain initiative and requires suppliers to comply with laws regarding forced labor and human trafficking. ARMOR-X also requires suppliers to monitor the performance of their next tier suppliers against the requirements of the RBA Supplier Code of Conduct.As part of the requirements of the RBA Code of Conduct and specialized labor standards, suppliers are required to develop appropriate management systems, which include policies, procedures and associated documentation, to adhere to the requirements and any applicable laws and regulations, including those prohibiting modern slavery and human trafficking. We confirm the existence and maintenance of those management systems through our supplier audit program.
- Internal Accountability Standards and Procedures. ARMOR-X requires its employees to comply with company policies, including, but not limited to, policies prohibiting the use of modern slavery and human trafficking in its operations. ARMOR-X provides channels to report concerns about any potential violation of law or company policy including those related to modern slavery or human trafficking. ARMOR-X promptly investigates any such reports and takes all necessary corrective actions.
- Training. Individuals who have direct responsibility for supply chain management have access to trainings, information on all company policies, practices, and procedures designed to identify and respond to issues related to forced labor and human trafficking in the supply chain as well as to mitigate risks with the supply chain of products.
