Absolute Collagen’s Human Rights Policy

OUR COMMITMENT

At Absolute Collagen, dignity, equality and safety aren’t extras — they’re essentials.

We are committed to respecting human rights across our own operations, our value chain, and every business relationship connected to what we do. That means protecting the rights of our team, our partners, our suppliers, and the individuals and communities affected by our business.

We recognise our responsibility to identify and assess potential human rights risks, prevent harm where we can, and act quickly if rights are ever at risk.

We align with internationally recognised human rights standards, including:

• The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
• The International Bill of Human Rights and the rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
• The International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

No fluff. No looking the other way. Just doing the right thing, properly.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

• Respect for Human Rights : We respect the rights, dignity and safety of everyone affected by our business.
• Fair Labour Practices : We support equal opportunities, fair pay, decent working conditions, and the right to work free from exploitation, harassment or abuse.
• Equal Treatment & Non-Discrimination : We believe everyone has the right to be treated fairly and respectfully, whatever their background, identity, role or relationship with Absolute Collagen.
• Freedom to Speak Up : We protect the right to raise concerns safely, confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
• Remedy When Things Go Wrong : If Absolute Collagen causes or contributes to a negative human rights impact, we commit to putting it right through corrective action, remedy or redress, and prevention of recurrence.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Our human rights due diligence is built into how we work. We follow five clear steps:

1.Risk Identification

We assess where human rights risks could arise across our operations and value chain, including raw materials, ingredients, packaging, logistics, labour practices, supplier conduct and business ethics.

2.Assessment & Prioritisation

We prioritise risks based on severity, likelihood, and potential impact on vulnerable people or communities.

3.Prevention & Mitigation

Where risks are identified, we take proactive steps. This may include supplier engagement, training, audits or assessments, capability-building, corrective action, or changing sourcing decisions where needed.

4.Monitoring

We monitor our operations, suppliers and business relationships to evaluate compliance, performance and progress.

5.Remedy & Learning

If we cause or contribute to harm, we act quickly to address it, provide appropriate remedy or redress, and learn from it to help prevent it happening again.

WHO THIS POLICY IS FOR

This policy applies to:

• All colleagues at Absolute Collagen
• All contractors
• All suppliers, manufacturers and logistics partners
• All business relationships
• All individuals and communities affected by our own operations and value chain

In short: everyone we work with, and everyone our work may touch.

RAISING CONCERNS

See something? Say something.

We want people to feel safe raising concerns if something does not feel right. Concerns can be raised confidentially through:

• Line managers or relevant reporting channels
• The People Team
• The Quality & Sustainability Team

Concerns will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and managed without retaliation.

GOVERNANCE & REVIEW

This policy is approved by the Absolute Collagen Executive Team, our highest governing body, and reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, compliant and continuously improving.

Doing the right thing is not a one-off. It is part of how we work — every day.
