Anti-Slavery Statement

For the Financial Year Ending 30th of April 2025
Introduction

Abbexa is an international company headquartered in Cambridge (UK), with further locations in Houston (USA) and Leiden (NL) . We are a supplier of biological tools for the life science, pharmaceutical development and biotechnology sectors. We provide the scientific community with primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, proteins, ELISA kits and enzymes as well as other kits and tools for use in research.

This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Modern slavery is a violation of human rights and is a criminal offence under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. At Abbexa we have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place in any form in any part of our business, including our supply and distribution chains.

Our Policies and Training

All our employees are required to conduct themselves in an ethical and law-abiding manner in line with the company’s 0162 - Equal Opportunities Policy and 0161 - Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy. Our 0161 - Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy sets out the organisation’s stance on Anti-Slavery, Anti-Corruption, Anti-Money Laundering, Data Protection, Anti-Harrasment and Human Rights. Failure to comply will lead to disciplinary procedures and may lead to the termination of employment.

Abbexa’s internal whistleblowers who make good faith reports to the best of their knowledge are protected by the company’s 0384 - Whistleblowing Policy.

The Company’s 0162 - Equal Opportunities Policy protects all potential employees to safeguard them against human trafficking and forced labour. All of our staff are trained to be aware of, understand, identify and report modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and in any of our channel partners.

Our Supply and Distribution Chains

Our 0311 - Channel Partner Code of Conduct sets out the organisation’s stance on Anti-Slavery, Anti-Corruption, Anti-Money Laundering, Data Protection, Anti-Harrasment and Human Rights, for ethical, lawful and sustainable conduct we expect from our business partners.

We require commitment to our 0311 - Channel Partner Code of Conduct from our suppliers and distributors. Our 0311 - Channel Partner Code of Conduct also requires our channel partners to respect the employment rights of their workers and to use reasonable efforts to promote compliance with this code amongst their own channel partners.

Our Commitment

We will continue to apply a zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, slavery and human trafficking in any form in any part of our business, including our supply and distribution chains. In 2024/2025 we aim to further reduce the risk of slavery within our supply and distribution chains, and to continue to train our staff to identify and report risks. We will aim to further updating our policies to raise awareness within our organisation.
