We are therefore committed to ensuring that we have suitable procedures and actions in place to identify and prevent these practices. Our Business ECO develops, registers and distributes pharmaceutical products for the global animal health markets.

We are a semi-virtual company, making extensive use of contract research organisations and third party manufacturers to conduct our research projects and produce our products. We sell in over 70 countries via subsidiaries, joint ventures, joint operations and third party distributors. Our Supply Chains All of ECO’s supply chains operate within the heavily regulated pharmaceutical sector and must comply with the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) requirements to ensure that our products are consistently produced, controlled and shipped according to quality standards. National regulators undertake regular inspections and ECO conducts its own audits of our suppliers and third party manufacturers to ensure continued GMP compliance. We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. As part of our compliance with our slavery and human trafficking policy, that reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains, we have, for example: written to all our subsidiaries and primary global contract manufacturers to explain the global context and extent of slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking. We have shared ECO’s commitment to protecting workers and eradicating harmful and illegal practices throughout our global supply chains and we have obtained their signed commitment to taking positive steps to ensure that modern slavery has no place in their businesses or supply chain. undertaken 25 site visits to contract manufacturers and contract laboratories in China, Canada, Europe and the UK and no evidence of modern slavery practices were identified. communicated to all our UK staff the BBC News article on the ‘Safe Car Wash app’ launched by the Church of England’s anti-slavery arm, the Clewer Initiative, and the Catholic Church, to raise awareness of modern slavery and encourage use of the app. Our Relevant Policies Our policy on slavery and human trafficking is set out at the commencement of this statement.
