MODERN SLAVERY ACT STATEMENT

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made on behalf of PetLab Group Limited (“PetLabCo.”) for the financial year ending 31 December 2025, in accordance with Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps we have taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains.

1. Organisational Structure and Supply Chains

PetLabCo. is a U.K. limited liability company headquartered at Dixon House, 1 Lloyds Avenue, London EC3N 3DQ. We operate globally, with a presence primarily in the UK, EU, and US through subsidiaries such as PetLab Co., located at One World Trade Center, 85th Floor, New York, NY 10007. We market, distribute, and primarily sell pet supplements, and pet supplies through our e-commerce and other online platforms. Our manufacturing is outsourced to third parties in the USA and Europe (including the UK); and our packaging is outsourced to third parties in the USA and Asia. Our ingredients are sourced both directly and indirectly from suppliers in the USA, Europe, and Asia. Warehousing and logistics are also managed by third-party providers.

2. Policies in Relation to Slavery and Human Trafficking

PetLabCo. is committed to upholding fundamental human rights and expects all those with whom we do business to adhere to the same high standards. We do not tolerate the use of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and we denounce any form of human trafficking. Our Code of Business Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct, which are reviewed and updated regularly, outline our expectations regarding labour practices, safety, dignity, and respect. Our contracts with distributors and partners require compliance with all applicable laws, including those concerning human rights and worker welfare.

3. Due Diligence Processes & Grievance Procedures

We endeavor to conduct due diligence on our suppliers, prior to engagement and on an ongoing basis, including risk-based reviews, questionnaires, and adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct. Third-party supplier visits are conducted where feasible, particularly for suppliers in high-risk locations. We maintain standard operating procedures for vetting new partners and conducting periodic reviews of existing suppliers. Our goal is to engage only with partners who demonstrate a serious commitment to ethical practices.

Any employee, supplier, or third party who becomes aware of, or suspects, an instance of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain is encouraged to report it immediately via our secure and confidential whistleblower mechanism available on the following link: PetLabCo. Whistleblowing and Protected Disclosure Reporting Form. The latter link allows any concerns to be raised anonymously. You are not required to provide your name. All reports submitted will be taken seriously, assessed promptly, and investigated fairly. Where concerns involve suppliers, we will take appropriate corrective action, which may include ending the relationship. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation.

4. Risk Assessment and Management

We recognise that certain regions and industries may pose higher risks of modern slavery due to less robust local laws, weaker enforcement, or vulnerable worker populations. We assess risk based on geography (with particular attention to suppliers in Asia), supplier function, industry sector, and international human rights indices and industry insights. Suppliers are expected to comply with relevant laws and international standards, and corrective actions are taken if concerns arise.

5. Key Performance Indicators

To monitor our progress, we are implementing systems to track the following indicators:

  • Percentage of suppliers completing annual due diligence questionnaires
  • Percentage of employees completing modern slavery awareness training
  • Number of supplier or assessments audits conducted, particularly in high-risk areas
  • Reports of non-compliance with this Statement and the outcomes of corrective actions taken
  • Number of reports received through our whistleblower mechanism

Where we find non-compliance with our core standards by our suppliers, partners or employees, we require timely remediation, with specific corrective action plans and deadlines. Failure to remediate will result in re-evaluation and possible termination of the relationship. We prioritize remediation that protects affected workers over immediate termination where appropriate.

6. Training on Modern Slavery and Trafficking

PetLabCo. provides training to employees on at least an annual basis to reinforce ethical behaviour and compliance with our Modern Slavery Statement and Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Topics include anti-bribery, employment laws, fair treatment, safe working conditions, commitment to fundamental human rights, and modern slavery awareness. Training can be delivered online, in-person or via our HR platforms and requires acknowledgement of completion.

In addition to employee training, when deemed necessary, PetLabCo. will provide guidance, or other forms of support to our suppliers, ensuring they have the needed knowledge and resources to meet the standards set out in this Modern Slavery Statement, and uphold compliance with these requirements in their operations.

7. Annual Review & Publishing

We are committed to upholding fundamental human rights and actively combating modern slavery and human trafficking. To reinforce this commitment, this Statement is reviewed annually by senior management. Each updated version will reflect identified risks, incidents or findings from the previous years, and / or changes in our business operations. Oversight of these compliance efforts is led by our General Counsel with approval by the Senior Leadership Team, ensuring both accountability and continuous improvement in this area. This statement was approved by PetLab Co. on March 17, 2026, and signed by:

Stephanie Lee, Co-CEO
