ANTI-SLAVERY POLICY 

Anti-slavery Policy

Introduction LSX Ltd (“the Company”) has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to preventing acts of slavery and human trafficking from occurring within both its business and supply chain, and imposes those high standards on its contractors, suppliers and other business partners.

This policy applies to all individuals working for the Company, including anyone providing services to the Company such as consultants, or contractors.

These may include logistical support services, IT and office goods and services.

The partnerships we form with suppliers, contractors, agents and other businesses and professionals are integral to our success. Our aim is to create and maintain sustainable partnerships of mutual value and trust. The Company expects the same high standards which we set for ourselves from those parties with whom we engage.
