Modern Slavery Statement

A key provision of the Act requires certain businesses to produce a statement setting out the steps they have taken to ensure there is no modern slavery in their business or supply chains.

One way to achieve this is to increase transparency in those supply chains. This will ensure the public, customers, employees, stakeholders and investors understand what steps an organisation is taking to tackle modern slavery.

Endress+Hauser Limited (“Endress+Hauser”) are proud of the way we conduct our business, and we are committed to meeting our ethical and social responsibilities. Our corporate culture is vested in behaving ethically and we welcome the opportunity to set out in this statement the actions we take to tackle modern slavery. We recognise this to be an ongoing process and will continue to work with customers and suppliers alike to tackle the problem of modern slavery wherever we can.

The Endress+Hauser Group

Endress+Hauser is a UK based sales centre that is part of a global process automation and engineering group. The Endress+Hauser Group is headquartered in Switzerland and remains privately owned by the Endress family. This means we have a unique culture which is referred to in detail below.

The Group specialises in the design, manufacture, supply, installation and servicing of process control systems and instrumentation to a range of sectors including oil and gas, technology, energy, food and beverages and life sciences. It consists of a network of over 100 companies in 44 countries around the world. In the UK alone we generate net sales of over £60 million.

Our values and culture

We believe that family-owned businesses are different.  We rely on robust values and follow clear principles. This attitude has grown into a unique corporate culture. That culture has a clear focus on behaving ethically and responsibly. Our values are set out clearly on our website here.

We are very proud of our culture and encourage our customers and suppliers to familiarise themselves with the approach we take. We believe our values are aligned with the underlying aims, objectives and principles of the Act.

The majority of the instruments and products we supply are manufactured and sourced from our own European based production centres. They have the same commitment to our culture and values as we do in the UK.

Where we engage with third party suppliers, we expect the same high standards of behaviour from them as we do from ourselves. Before we engage in business with a third party, they must go through a selection process and be accepted as an Approved Supplier, Service Provider and/or Approved Contractor for Endress+Hauser. This gives us comfort that our suppliers meet the standards we expect.

The steps we have recently taken to prevent modern slavery within our business and supply chains are as follows:

• Our supplier selection process was reviewed considering the Act. Our process now involves making very specific enquires of our suppliers in respect of the ethical standards of behaviour we expect. This process is reviewed periodically to ensure it is robust and fit for purpose.

• Suppliers are specifically asked to confirm that they themselves comply with the Act as do any third parties employed by them to meet our requirements. If they cannot give us that assurance, we will not work with them.

• Our standard contractual terms of purchase and supply have also been reviewed and amended in light of the Act. We have introduced contractual obligations that reflect the requirements of the Act across our suite of standard terms and ensure they are dealt with in bespoke contractual documents. Again, this is an ongoing process and our terms are reviewed annually.

Endress+Hauser Code of Conduct

• All of our colleagues undertake training on the Endress+Hauser Code of Conduct to ensure understanding of our code across the business, and at all levels. The Code of Conduct was updated and approved by our Executive and Supervisory Board in 2022. It implements a comprehensive whistleblowing system where our colleagues can raise any concerns about modern slavery anonymously.

• The Code of Conduct is wide ranging, in relation to Modern Slavery it states the following:

• We protect our associates from unfair and unethical working conditions.

• We do not tolerate bonded, forced or child labour or any unsafe working conditions.

• We ban products and services resulting from bonded, forced or child labour or unsafe working conditions.

• We make sure that any activities within our sphere of influence do not negatively impact fundamental human rights as set out by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises the core conventions of the labour standards of the International Labour Organization as well as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Sustainability and Environment.

The Code of Conduct forms the basis of our Business Ethics Policy in the UK. A copy can be found on our website here.

EcoVadis accreditation

This year the Endress+Hauser Group achieved a score of 78 out of 100 points – the same as last year – and was awarded the silver medal by EcoVadis. This result confirms our consistently high sustainability performance in an international comparison and places us among the top six percent of more than 100,000 companies assessed worldwide.

The rating is internationally recognized and provides the public with a simple and transparent way to compare our sustainability performance with other companies. In the areas of environmental protection, ethics, sustainable procurement, labour and human rights.

Whistleblowing

The Endress+Hauser Group has maintained a publicly accessible whistleblower system – “People and the environment” – since 2023. Employees, business partners such as suppliers, and third parties can confidentially report or anonymously submit information regarding potential human rights violations or environmental issues.

Continuing Improvement

Our priorities for 2026 include:

• Deeper supply chain due diligence - We will work more closely with Group-associated production centers to enhance transparency beyond our immediate suppliers, with a particular focus on identifying higher-risk categories and geographies and aligning approaches across the Group.

• More targeted and role‑specific training - While Code of Conduct training is mandatory for all employees, during 2026 we will assess and, where appropriate, introduce targeted modern slavery and human rights training tailored to specific roles such as procurement, HR, leadership and frontline service teams. We will also explore proportionate ways to engage key suppliers in awareness‑raising activities.

• Stronger use of speak‑up mechanisms - We will continue to promote our whistleblowing framework and place increased emphasis on practical guidance around recognising risks and raising concerns, reinforcing a culture in which colleagues and business partners feel confident speaking up.

• More formal supplier monitoring and challenge - Building on our existing supplier approval and contractual frameworks, we will further structure our desktop monitoring activities, including reviewing publicly available modern slavery statements and human rights disclosures, and engaging constructively with suppliers where gaps are identified.

• Integration with wider ESG governance - Modern slavery and human rights considerations will continue to be integrated into the work of our UK ESG team, ensuring alignment with broader sustainability priorities and reinforcing oversight, reporting and continuous improvement.

• Ongoing independent scrutiny - We will remain voluntarily engaged with recognised third‑party assessment frameworks such as EcoVadis and will use independent feedback to inform our priorities and identify areas where further focus is required.

Conclusion

Through these actions, we aim to strengthen accountability, improve transparency, and continuously enhance our approach to preventing modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
