UK Business Overview

AMRL manufactures and distributes radiopharmaceutical products which are used in conjunction with the diagnostic imaging services. AMLL purchases scanning equipment that is used by AML at certain sites to provide its diagnostic imaging services and is the principal contracting party for construction and development contracts for certain new sites. The UK Entities work collaboratively with clinicians, public and private healthcare organisations, and academic institutions to provide high quality and cost-effective diagnostic imaging services and radiopharmaceuticals to its customers and for its patients.

The UK Entities’ supply chain includes procurement of scanning equipment and associated information technology equipment, transportation of mobile scanning units and radiopharmaceuticals, agency staff, medical and non-medical consumables, and construction and maintenance of buildings.

Commitment

The UK Entities are committed to combating the real and growing problem of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Recognising that it can affect any sector or industry, we take seriously our responsibility to be alert to the risks, however small, in our business and in our wider supply chain.

Our expectation is that our people and our suppliers share our commitment to ensuring modern slavery and human trafficking do not exist in our business or supply chains.

Our Policies

Employment policies and procedures throughout the UK Entities are designed to treat all individuals who work within our businesses with dignity and respect, to reward them fairly for their work and not to exploit them.

Our commitment is to work with organisations in our supply chains that have a commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking and adhere to our values.

Whilst it is the obligation of those organisations to operate their own policies and procedures to achieve that objective, we will develop and build upon our existing practices to ensure we take all reasonable steps to verify compliance by all our material suppliers with the provisions of the Act, including requesting new and existing suppliers to sign up to our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Assessment of Risk within our Supply Chain

A high-level assessment of our supply chains and the potential for slavery and human trafficking has been completed. Most of our suppliers are based in the UK, and many are operating in specialised rather than low skilled industries and pose a lower risk in terms of compliance with the Act

However, we recognise that some of our suppliers operate in sectors that are potentially higher risk and that some services may involve relatively high levels of contracted labour (for example textiles relating to staff uniforms).

We continue to periodically review and re-assess the risks and are committed to procuring goods and services in a manner which recognises the importance of human rights; we expect all our suppliers to honour and observe the same principles.

If there is evidence that a supplier is non- compliant with our policies and contractual requirements, we will take action to address the shortfall, either through a performance improvement plan or, ultimately, through termination of contract.

Actions taken in the last 12 months

We have taken action to integrate our Supplier Code of Conduct within our procurement process.
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) training has been provided to senior employees in the UK and an ESG strategy for the business has been developed.
A review of the Act and its provisions along with any developments has been undertaken with the accountable executive of the business as part of the business’s compliance programme.
A review of the existing training provided to employees as part of the employee Induction Programme has been undertaken and employee training needs assessed.

Actions to be undertaken in the next 12 months

To continue to re-assess the risks posed to the business in connection with the Act.
To review and monitor developments and proposed changes to the Act in accordance with the businesses’ compliance programme.
To develop and introduce a digitised mandatory training module covering the provisions of the Act for all appropriate employees.
