to all staff. It sets forth Livent Corporation’scommitment to respecting human rights andcomplying with laws, rules, and regulations
governing human rights in the countries inwhich we operate. This includes specificprovisions addressing non-discrimination,

This includes expectations that all work is
freely chosen and without the use of forced

Livent UK believes do not meet our standards.
Compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct
is mandatory in our contractual terms, andwe explicitly discuss the Supplier Code of
Conduct with suppliers on an ongoing basis.2
Also, our standard terms and conditions providethat our suppliers who are subject to them
have the responsibility to ensure that theiremployees and subcontractors are trainedin, and comply with, the Livent Corporation“Anti-Slavery Policy” and applicable antislavery and human trafficking laws.
2: In 2019, we developed a Modern Slavery clause forincorporation in contracts going forward. In 2023, weupdated our terms and conditions for goods and services
to include specific language regarding anti-slavery andhuman trafficking. For more information, see Section 5of this statement.

Supplier Sustainability Policy
To further advance our efforts, Livent Corporation adopted a new Supplier Sustainability Policyin October 2021. The Supplier Sustainability Policy incorporates underlying principles of the UK
Modern Slavery Act 2015, as well as the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, among other internationally-recognised best practices
and standards.
The policy emphasises to suppliers the human rights and labour expectations contained within
the Livent Corporation Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Supplier Code of Conduct, the
Human Rights Policy, and our Modern Slavery Policy.

4. ASSESSING MODERN SLAVERYRISKS IN OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
Livent UK’s supply chains principally relate to
the provision of services and raw materials.
Livent UK assesses that the risk of modern
slavery in our supply chains is limited. Whilerisk is limited, we have taken significant steps
to further protect against modern slavery,
particularly in regions where risk is highest,
including by setting clear expectations forall organisations supplying goods and/or services to our business. To help assess
relative risk, we actively consult the Global
Slavery Index and other reference materials.
For example, through Livent UK’s Supplier Codeof Conduct and other supply chain initiatives
and processes, we advance our commitment
to sourcing components and materials fromcompanies that share our values: humandignity, business integrity, and environmental
responsibility. Our policies and practices areelaborated in detail in section five of thisStatement.
Livent Corporation’s 2022 global procurement
spend, inclusive of capital projects, totalled
approximately USD $1.257 billion. Of thistotal, approximately GBP £13.8 million was
expended by Livent UK, working across morethan 262 suppliers globally, some of whom
may have further suppliers and/or third-party
service providers.
While risk in the majority of our supply chain
is assessed to be limited, we have diligently

05

focused efforts where the risk of modern
slavery is believed to be the greatest.
The majority of Livent UK’s external payments
were made to suppliers in the United Kingdom,
Germany, and Spain. These suppliers are
subject to well-established wage and workforce laws, including for UK suppliers the UK
Modern Slavery Act 2015.
The majority of Livent UK’s supply chain
expenditures are for provision of raw
materials, chemicals, utilities and services.
The most substantial expenditure by far islithium metal purchased from Livent
Corporation. Livent Corporation’s raw lithium
inputs are first extracted from brine salars inArgentina, then further processed in North
Carolina (USA) before the lithium metal isthen purchased by Livent UK.
Livent UK also obtains a small proportion oflithium metal inputs from a publicly tradedsupplier located in China, which is subject tooversight from the Chinese government.
Recognising the potential for higher riskof labour rights violations in China, we haveinvestigated to confirm, to the best of ourknowledge, that this supplier is not locatedin or sourcing from the Xinjiang Uyghur
Autonomous region of China.
We are aware that certain Livent UK suppliers
source from multiple regions, including theUnited States and the Middle East.

5. MITIGATING RISKS IN 					OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
To identify and mitigate modern slavery risks in Livent UK’s operations and supply chains, we have
implemented systems and controls within our UK facility and also incorporate Livent Corporation
policies and practices to take meaningful action that are designed to protect against exposure tomodern slavery.
Steps taken or advanced, and goals achieved, in 2022 include:
Extended Livent UK Gap Assessment
to further strengthen supply chaintransparency and compliance

Improved on efforts to ensure compliancewith the modern slavery clause in our UK
procurement contracts

When it was first implemented in 2021, theLivent UK Gap Assessment included aninternal review and supply chain mapping
exercise. During this exercise, Livent UK
evaluated each sector risk, country risk,
transaction risk, and business partner risk,
including direct (i.e. “Tier-1”) suppliers and,in part, beyond. The review also included
assessment of training programs.

In 2022, we required suppliers to:		

Our Gap Assessment in 2021 led to a
mapping of our supply chains for lithium
metal, hexane, heptane, cylcohexane, toluene,
n-Butylchloride, S-Butylchloride, and mineraloil from initial mining or manufacturing,
distribution to Livent UK, production at our
UK facility and then final distribution to
our customers. We assessed each supplieragainst a map of modern slavery risk bygeography, and then categorised them as
low, medium, or high risk.
In 2022, Livent UK extended the Gap
Assessment to include external review anddata submission by both all direct suppliers
and all key high-risk service providers. All new
vendors have been added and assessed.
Also in 2022, Livent strengthened follow-up
procedures, conversations, and investigations
wit h suppliers who provided partial orincomplete information during the Gap
Assessment.

06•

Ensure compliance with all applicablemodern slavery laws and take steps tomeet international standards aroundmodern slavery•

Confirm they have not been convicted orinvestigated for modern slavery offences•

Take reasonable steps to ensure they,
their subcontractors, and others in their
supply chains have adequate proceduresto prevent and address modern slavery•

Grant Livent UK the right to audit themand their subcontractors for complianceagainst our requirements•

On request, provide a copy of any modern
slavery statement they are required toprepare under any relevant modern
slavery reporting framework.

Continued employee training 		and education
In 2022, Livent UK ensured there was training
about modern slavery for all employees
involved in the supply chain and procurement
process at the time of the training. Raisingawareness of modern slavery, and with it,
respect and dignity for all persons and labour,
remains a priority for Livent UK and thebroader Livent Corporation.

Increased supplier due diligence 			and data collection		
In 2021, we asked our Tier-1 suppliers to complete a
specific modern slavery questionnaire. These Tier-1
suppliers were asked numerous direct and indirectquestions relating to the issue of modern slavery andthe steps that they had taken to combat it. In 2022,
the responses were reviewed and assessed forany indicative red flags. This includes evaluatinga sample of suppliers against relevant sectionsof the Livent Corporation Supplier Code of Conduct,
SupplierSustainability Policy, Code of Ethics andBusiness Conduct, Human Rights Policy, and Modern
Slavery Policy.
In 2022, Livent UK also carried out expanded supplierdue diligence assessments for potential new suppliers,
using Livent Corporation procedures and requiring
completion of a “Vendor Data Collection Form” anda “Supplier Prequalification Form” (in the case of raw
materials suppliers) under which the potential new
supplier confirms that it does not engage in modern
slavery.
New supplier due diligence is carried out by Livent
Corporation and Livent UK procurement personnel
before any potential new supplier is approved for use
by Livent Corporation or Livent UK. If these forms are
not provided or completed in a satisfactory manner, thepotential new supplier is not engaged further.
When evaluating potential new suppliers as part ofour due diligence, we are conscious of the need to beaware of any signs of modern slavery and would
elevate any concerns to appropriate company leadership and other relevant authorities.
We are using, and continuing to advance, a process
for evaluating the potential for modern slavery in our
supply chains, including a consideration of the location,
sector and business relationship of suppliers (witha higher risk assigned to suppliers in developing
economies and/or those located in countries identified
as high risk by third party sources), and the material orservices being supplied (with a higher risk assigned toservices that are manual labour intensive).
These processes also include the use of a third-party
software solution that screens all vendors andsuppliers of Livent Corporation and Livent UK against
over 800 government lists to check whether thevendor or supplier is blocked, denied, sanctioned orotherwise restricted by leading government authorities
around the World.

07

Evaluated key performance indicators(KPIs) that assist in assessing the 		effectiveness of actions to prevent andaddress modern slavery
We protect whistle blowers and encourage
the confidential submission of possible
violations of our Supplier Code of Conduct,
including through our ethics complaint/
whistle blower hotline. Likewise, suppliers
and their own employees may contact us
through a dedicated email communication
channel at Livent.Supplier.Communication@
livent.com to report any concerns regarding
modern slavery. Livent received no modern
slavery complaints in 2021 or 2022 throughthe company’s ethics hotline complaints
processes or otherwise.
Additional KPIs for environmental, safety,
and governance measures are incorporated
within a supplier scorecard. This scorecard
is completed by suppliers twice per year
(Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH)- HSE Regulatory Review).
Evaluation of KPIs includes:08

IN 2023, LIVENT CORPORATIONWILL FURTHER STRENGTHENITS EFFORTS, INCLUDING:
