Vika Group Modern Slavery Statement

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Vika Group has taken and is taking to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains.

Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced or compulsory labour. Vika Group has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.

Vika Group is an operator-led industrial institution building long-term businesses across resource development, workforce infrastructure, residential development, and energy in Central Africa, beginning in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our commercial platforms include Vika Resources, BASTION, Domaine Imara, and Vika Energy.

Our supply chains include construction and engineering contractors, equipment suppliers, logistics providers, security service providers, and professional services firms. We recognise that supply chains in frontier markets can carry elevated modern slavery risks, and we apply risk-based due diligence accordingly.

Vika Group maintains the following policies that are relevant to modern slavery:

• This Modern Slavery Statement;
• Human Rights Policy — prohibiting forced labour, child labour, and trafficking;
• Supplier Code of Conduct — requiring suppliers to prohibit modern slavery;
• Environmental and Social Policy — aligned with IFC PS2 on Labour and Working Conditions;
• Whistleblowing and Grievance Policy — enabling confidential reporting of concerns.

Vika Group undertakes the following due diligence in relation to modern slavery:

• Screening of significant suppliers and contractors for modern slavery risks prior to engagement;
• Inclusion of anti-slavery representations and warranties in supplier contracts;
• Assessment of labour practices during site visits and operational reviews;
• Engagement with workers through grievance mechanisms to identify any concerns;
• Review of recruitment practices to ensure no recruitment fees are charged to workers.

We assess modern slavery risk across our operations and supply chains, taking into account:

• Geographic risk — operating in jurisdictions with elevated labour rights risks;
• Sector risk — construction, mining, and security sectors carry elevated risks;
• Supply chain depth — risks increase in lower tiers of the supply chain;
• Migrant and vulnerable workers — particular attention to recruitment practices.

Vika Group provides training to relevant personnel on recognising and responding to modern slavery risks. This includes awareness of the indicators of forced labour, trafficking, and debt bondage, and the reporting channels available to raise concerns.

Vika Group tracks the following indicators to measure the effectiveness of its modern slavery programme:

• Number of supplier contracts including anti-slavery provisions;
• Number of modern slavery concerns reported through grievance mechanisms;
• Number of personnel trained on modern slavery awareness;
• Number of supplier audits conducted with labour practice components.

This statement has been approved by the Board of Vika Group and is signed on behalf of the organisation by the Chief Executive Officer. It will be reviewed and updated annually.
