RGL ELECTRONICS LIMITED
MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT (the “Statement”)
This statement is published in accordance with section 54 (1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (“MSA”).
It sets out the actions that RGL Electronics Limited (“RGL”) has taken to address modern slavery, and those
steps that we will continue to take to identify, prevent and, where found, eliminate modern slavery in our
business and supply chains.
“Modern slavery” constitutes slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking.
Introduction
RGL respects the dignity and rights of all people, and we work every day to create the right conditions for
our employees and others with whom we engage to flourish and achieve their full potential. Modern
slavery is a reality, however, in countries around the world, taking many forms including forced labour,
slavery, servitude and human trafficking. Often, victims of modern slavery are in plain sight, as part of
seemingly routine activities and interactions.
As a SME trading below the threshold we are not required to make a formal statement. However we do
recognise that many of our clients will be seeking reassurance from us about our compliance with the
requirements of the Modern Slavery Act Modern
In Summary:
RGL is headquartered within the UK and has 20 employees, with manufacturing taking place in UK, China
and India.
Our supply chain: Our supply chain is of medium complexity. In the UK RGL purchases goods and services
from several suppliers around the world.

Risk management:
Possible areas of increased risk for RGL include suppliers of low-skilled labour, or suppliers located in less
developed countries. Our supplier standards help us to manage this risk by providing guidance to our
suppliers about the minimum standards that we expect.
Effectiveness management:
Questionnaires or scorecards are used to measure our supplier alignment with our values and ways of
working.
Training and capacity building:
RGL employees complete Code of Business Conduct training when they join the business, usually within the
first 30 days. This training instils in our employees the value of diversity and inclusion, it condemns
harassment and discrimination and it provides guidance around a multitude of ethics and compliance
issues.
Our due diligence processes
Due diligence is key to eliminating modern slavery within our business and supply chain. As part of our
supplier due-diligence process for direct material suppliers, those that are considered to be a high risk from
a labour, health and safety, or an environmental perspective must before RGL agrees to engage with them,
complete a scorecard and provide evidence of their policies in an effort to replicate RGL supply chain
standards, and further demonstrate their compliance with human rights, labour rights and working
conditions laws and regulations.
Risk management
Identifying and managing modern slavery risk is paramount to its elimination.
We believe that there is a more likely danger of modern slavery existing within our supply chains than within
our own business. Possible increased risk areas for RGL include suppliers of agricultural produce, clothing
items, suppliers of low-skilled labour, or suppliers located in less developed or recently industrialised parts
of the world.
In an attempt to combat these higher risk areas and increase our knowledge of modern slavery issues in
the UK, this year we put the wheels in motion to enlist external experts to train core functional employees
on modern slavery in order to increase knowledge and awareness on how to spot and take action when
modern slavery is suspected.
Our global Supplier Standards provide our suppliers with guidance on the minimum standards we expect
our suppliers and our supplier’s suppliers to abide by.
As an integral part of supplier’s contracts, RGL in the UK includes an Anti-Slavery clause which sets out key
antislavery requirements.
Training and capacity building
We know that training and capacity building is integral to successful Modern Slavery initiatives. For this
reason, we promise to seek expert external training for key individuals within RGL to deeper understand
modern slavery issues, to help us to identify areas of risk within our operational and internal processes, and
to help us to develop wider internal training to allow our employees to identify and report modern slavery
and human trafficking.
Final word
RGL commits to raising awareness of modern slavery, human trafficking and human rights within our
organisation over its next financial year. We see it as an opportunity not only as a moral imperative, but
an opportunity to make a real difference in all the communities we serve.
This statement covers 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025 and has been considered and approved by
the Directors of RGL.
