# Modern Slavery Statement

## DOCUMENT PURPOSE

The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires all businesses to state the actions taken during the financial year to ensure modern slavery is not taking place in their operations and supply chains. Avara Foods is one of the largest UK food businesses, supplying major supermarkets and popular restaurants. We manage an extensive supply chain which includes agriculture, processing, and distribution, with a team of over 5,500 people. Our business operates around four core values: being Inclusive, Ambitious, Excelling and operating with Integrity. These four values shape our standards, our decisions, and our expectations.

This update provides an overview of how we continue to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our business. Over the last five years, we have developed the management and controls to reduce the risk of Modern Slavery and Exploitation within our supply chain.  The information within this update applies to Avara Foods Ltd and its subsidiary businesses, Faccenda Foods and Freemans of Newent, covering the financial year 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026. The update can be found on the Avara Foods homepage – [www.avarafoods.co.uk](https://www.avarafoods.co.uk).

The past couple of years have been characterised by huge upheaval and change. We, like most others, have been affected by labour availability and inflationary challenges which places exceptional challenges on our business. Against this backdrop, we continue to work to reduce the likelihood of exploitation within our business: educating our people and supply partners, as well as implementing automation to reduce our reliance on unskilled and agency labour.
