Introduction

Combilift Ltd (“Combilift”) is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct, integrity, and respect for human rights. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor in our operations and supply chains.

This statement is made pursuant to the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act 2010, and serves as Combilift’s annual modern slavery and human rights disclosure.

Our Business and Supply Chain
