This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that YLD Limited has taken during the financial year ending 31 December 2025 to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.

YLD is committed to acting ethically, responsibly, and with integrity in all our business relationships. We take a proportionate, risk-based approach to identifying and mitigating the risk of modern slavery, recognising the nature and scale of our operation

YLD Limited is a product design and software engineering consultancy headquartered in London, with offices in Lisbon and Porto, Portugal. We support organisations in designing, building, and modernising digital products and platforms through services including software engineering, product design, cloud and data services, and technical advisory.

We operate as a professional services business, employing permanent staff and engaging specialist contractors to support client delivery.

Our supply chains primarily consist of:

• Technology and software providers
• Professional service providers, including legal, accounting, and recruitment services
• Contractors and specialist consultants
• Office, facilities, travel, and events suppliers

Given the nature of our business, the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct operations is considered low. However, we recognise that risks may be higher in certain parts of our supply chain, particularly where contractors or third-party providers operate across different jurisdictions. We remain vigilant and committed to responsible sourcing and ethical practices.

YLD maintains a set of internal policies and standards that support ethical business conduct, including:

• Recruitment and Employment policies, including right-to-work verification
• A Whistleblowing Policy that enables concerns to be raised confidentially
• A Supplier Code of Conduct outlining expectations on labour standards and ethical behaviour

As part of our ongoing governance improvements, we are reviewing the introduction of a standalone Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy.

These policies are reviewed periodically and are accessible to relevant employees and stakeholders.

We take a risk-based approach to due diligence across our supply chain. This includes:

• Assessing suppliers and contractors prior to engagement
• Including modern slavery and ethical conduct clauses in standard contractual terms where appropriate
• Reviewing supplier relationships on an ongoing basis
• Focusing additional scrutiny on higher-risk categories, such as international contractors or labour-intensive services

Where concerns are identified, we take appropriate steps to investigate and address them.

Relevant employees involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management are made aware of the risks of modern slavery and our responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We promote awareness through internal communications and ensure senior management understands its oversight responsibilities.

YLD is committed to continuously improving its approach to identifying and mitigating modern slavery risks. Over the coming year, we will:

• Continue to refine our supplier due diligence processes
• Review and strengthen contractual expectations with key suppliers
• Update this statement annually to reflect our progress and evolving practices
