Group Plc, CEVA Logistics Limited, and CEVA Freight (UK) Limited, operate in all countries of the
United Kingdom, offering integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions to deal with the complexities of
today’s supply chains.

Through CEVA’s lean culture and Operational Excellence, the Company addresses increased
demand for operational efficiency and flexibility. CEVA’s ability to structure operations around
customers’ KPIs and robust industry experience helps the Company to stay focused on specific
logistics needs, deliver value-added service, and run its business in an environmentally conscious
way. This Modern Slavery Statement applies to the activities of CEVA Group Plc and its affiliates.


CEVA Policies and Supply Chain Relationships
CEVA continually strives to clearly communicate its human rights policies and expectations to its
customers, third party suppliers, and agents. As a global logistics company, CEVA does not
inherently produce or manufacture products. In providing logistics services, it is imperative to
ensure employees and third parties are alert to the relevant human trafficking legislation, and
aware of CEVA’s internal policies that promote human rights and the fight against the proliferation
of human trafficking and modern slavery.
CEVA’s Human Rights Compliance Program (“HRCP”) is a risk-based program, focused on
measures designed to eliminate human trafficking and achieve compliance with CEVA’s Code of
Business Conduct, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, U.S.
Government regulations and the Act.
CEVA’s HRCP communicates ethical business practice expectations and standards to our
employees, customers, and suppliers. These are incorporated into Compliance Covenants, which
are acknowledged by CEVA’s high risk suppliers and agents. Additionally, the CEVA Code of
Business Conduct outlines CEVA’s continued commitment to promoting an ethical corporate
environment and complying with all laws, including those prohibiting human trafficking, slavery,
forced labor, child labor, and unfair wages.


Due Diligence & Auditing
As part of its’ global compliance program, audits and reviews are conducted, including HRCP
requirements, the specific review of risks, associated mitigating measures, and red flags. Further,
CEVA has a dedicated risk-based third-party due diligence program to ensure that high risk third
parties operate in compliance with all applicable laws (including corruption and human trafficking)
and employs a global restricted party screening policy.


Training & Awareness
All CEVA managers and a selected employee population are required to complete an annual
training covering HRCP, including red flags, and reporting potential concerns on human trafficking
and forced labor. Additional human rights training is provided to employees when warranted.

Risk Assessment and Continued Risk Management
CEVA’s Global Trade Compliance (“GTC’) team supports the Company in identifying and mitigating trade compliance risks. GTC has included human trafficking in its risk profile and diligence process. CEVA has established several reporting mechanisms, such as anonymous reporting, for employees to report human trafficking and forced labor concerns, which are diligently investigated.


Relevant policies
CEVA operates the following policies that describe its approach to the identification of modern slavery risks and steps to be taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in its operations:

This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking. CEVA maintains a hotline and web-based reporting system, which allows individuals to report anonymously if desired in local language on any potential compliance concerns including concerns related to labor practices or breach of human rights.
Employee Code of Conduct: CEVA’s Code of Conduct supports the Company’s employees in maintaining the highest standards of conduct and ethical behavior when operating and managing its supply chain.
