This statement sets out the steps that DXB Auto Investments Ltd and its subsidiaries have taken, and continue to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

DXB Auto Investments Ltd is a UK based motor trade business operating in the sales and servicing of motor vehicles. Our activities include the purchase, sale, preparation and servicing of motor vehicles, together with associated parts and services. All dealerships are located in the United Kingdom, employing over 400 members of staff.

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, as well as to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking do not take place anywhere in our business or supply chains. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery.

Our supply chains primarily consist of vehicle manufacturers from where we obtain our principal products: motor vehicles, parts, and accessories. Further to this, we work with additional service providers, including but not limited to logistics, cleaning and valeting, IT, and professional services.

The majority of our suppliers are UK-based and operate within regulated industries. We consider the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct supply chain to be low, though we continue to maintain close relationships to ensure we mitigate any risk that could arise, particularly concerning salaries and working conditions.

We operate the following policies and procedures which support our approach to preventing modern slavery:

• Recruitment Policy – ensuring all employees have a legal right to work in the UK.
• Employee Code of Conduct – requiring our employees to act ethically and lawfully.
• Whistleblowing Policy – all employees have the right to raise concerns confidentially.
• Payroll Policy – mandating regular checks to ensure all employees earn at least the National Minimum Wage.
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy – outlining our commitment to treating all employees fairly, with a no tolerance approach to discrimination.

We take proportionate steps to assess and manage modern slavery risks, including using reputable suppliers and service providers, carrying out checks on new suppliers where appropriate, and expecting suppliers to comply with applicable employment laws and standards. Where concerns are identified, we would take appropriate action, including reviewing or terminating supplier relationships.

We aim to ensure a high level of understanding of the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business, with training provided to relevant members of staff. Directors and management are committed to acting with integrity and therefore are trained to recognise and investigate any risks or concerns in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking.

We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and we will continue to review our policies and practices to ensure they remain appropriate to our business and supply chains.

This statement is reviewed annually and updated as necessary.
