Modern Slavery Policy

1. Purpose and policy statement

Love Luggage Group Pty Ltd (ABN 29 650 482 189) has zero tolerance for modern slavery in our operations and supply chains. We will not knowingly work with any supplier, contractor or partner that uses or benefits from modern slavery.

This policy sets out how we identify, prevent and respond to modern slavery risks. It supports our obligations to the retailers we supply and our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) core conventions.

We also agree to meet the ethical sourcing requirements of the retailers we supply.

2. Scope

This policy applies to:

• All directors, employees, casual staff and contractors of Love Luggage Group
• All suppliers, manufacturers, factories, subcontractors, agents and labour hire providers involved in making, packing or delivering our products
• All products we sell, including those supplied to our retail partners

We require our direct suppliers to apply equivalent standards to their own suppliers and subcontractors.

3. What modern slavery means

Modern slavery is any situation where coercion, threats or deception are used to exploit people and undermine their freedom. Under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) it includes:

• Human trafficking
• Slavery and servitude
• Forced labour
• Deceptive recruiting for labour or services
• Debt bondage, including workers paying recruitment fees
• Forced marriage
• The worst forms of child labour

Warning signs include withheld passports or identity documents, unpaid or underpaid wages, excessive working hours, restricted freedom of movement, and unauthorised subcontracting.

4. Our commitments

Love Luggage Group commits to:

1. Pay all workers at least the legal minimum wage, on time, with clear payslips.
2. Ensure all work is voluntary and workers can leave their employment freely, with reasonable notice.
3. Never retain workers' passports, identity documents or personal property.
4. Never charge workers recruitment fees, or permit our suppliers or agents to do so.
5. Not employ anyone under the legal working age, and verify age on hiring.
6. Keep working hours within legal limits, with overtime that is voluntary and paid.
7. Respect workers' freedom of association and right to collective bargaining.
8. Provide safe and healthy workplaces.
9. Keep accurate records of employment, wages and hours, and make them available for audit.
10. Make no "slavery-free" or "ethical" product claims we cannot substantiate.

5. Supplier requirements

We buy from Australian-based suppliers. Many of the products they supply are made overseas, so these requirements apply to our suppliers and, through them, to the factories that make our goods.

Every supplier and factory producing goods for Love Luggage Group must:

• Sign our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes the commitments in section 4
• Comply with the ethical sourcing codes of the retailers we supply
• Hold a current, approved ethical sourcing audit (or equivalent) before production begins, and keep it current
• Accept announced and unannounced audits by our retail partners, Love Luggage Group or appointed third-party auditors
• Disclose all factory sites and subcontractors; no unauthorised subcontracting is permitted
• Display worker rights and grievance information in local languages at each site
• Notify us within 48 hours of any suspected or confirmed modern slavery incident

Suppliers that refuse to remediate breaches, or that conceal information, will be suspended and may be terminated.

6. Risk assessment and due diligence

We assess modern slavery risk across our supply chain at least once a year, and before onboarding any new supplier.

Our direct suppliers are Australian businesses, but the higher risk sits further down the chain: the overseas factories that make luggage and its materials (textiles, leather, plastics, zips and wheels). We require each supplier to tell us where their products are made and to share current factory audit reports. In Australia, we also check warehousing, cleaning, transport and labour hire providers.

We rate each supplier by:

• Country risk: where goods and raw materials are produced
• Product and industry risk: for example cotton, textiles, electronics, rubber and seafood
• Workforce risk: use of migrant, seasonal or labour hire workers
• Supplier transparency: audit history, visibility of subcontractors and raw material origins

High-risk suppliers receive closer monitoring, more frequent audits and a corrective action plan where issues are found. We will not source materials from regions subject to credible state-imposed forced labour allegations. We keep records of all assessments, audits and corrective actions.

7. Reporting concerns and remediation

Anyone, including workers, suppliers and members of the public, can report a concern confidentially and without fear of retaliation:

• Email: Gareth Midson, gareth@loveluggage.com.au
• Phone: (02) 9557 8283

When modern slavery is identified, we will put the affected workers' interests first. We will:

1. Investigate promptly and confidentially.
2. Notify affected retail partners, and authorities such as the Australian Federal Police where required.
3. Work with the supplier on a time-bound corrective action plan, including repayment of recruitment fees or unpaid wages.
4. End the relationship only where remediation fails, managing the exit so workers are not further harmed.

8. Responsibilities, training and review

Staff involved in sourcing, purchasing and supplier management receive modern slavery training on induction and each year. Breaches of this policy by staff may lead to disciplinary action.

This policy is reviewed at least every 12 months, or sooner if laws or our operations change.
