At Listen & Like, we are committed to operating in a fair, responsible and ethical manner with respect to fundamental human rights. While the countries, regions and industry sectors within which our organisation operates do not represent any particular risk associated with modern slavery, we recognise that slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking (referred to as “Modern Slavery”) are serious crimes and global human rights issues, and we take seriously our responsibility to comply with the Act and to assist in preventing and combating Modern Slavery.
This statement includes a description of our efforts over the past financial year to identify and mitigate the risk of Modern Slavery in our business and supply chain and the policies and processes we have in place to report non-compliance. It is paramount to our way of doing business at Listen & Like to comply with applicable law and to act with the utmost integrity, honesty, and transparency.

Preserving an ethical workplace and supply chain that respects human rights is critical to our long-term success as a leading global, online automotive marketplace. At Listen & Like, we send a clear message to each Listen & Like employee and supplier: We want to grow our business, but only if we can do it lawfully and ethically. At Listen & Like, we obey applicable laws – including laws against Modern Slavery – and strive to hold ourselves to the highest ethical and legal standards; we expect the same of all of our suppliers. Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have a number of policies and processes that reflect our approach to ethics, human rights and Modern Slavery. As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have in place systems to: identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains; mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains; monitor potential risks in our supply chains; and protect whistleblowers.
These policies and processes include:
Our Code of Conduct.

Individuals may confidentially provide information to the Company’s Audit Committee or to one or more of our individual directors by using the confidential and anonymous financial concern hotline that is operated by an independent, third party service.
