Modern Slavery Act Statement (UK)<\/h2>\r\nThis statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the Act) and outlines steps taken by XVIVO Perfusion AB and its subsidiaries (together, \u2018XVIVO\u2019 or \u2018the XVIVO Group\u2019) to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our own operations and supply chain.\r\n\r\nThis statement relates to the financial year from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 and covers the activities of XVIVO Perfusion AB (\u2018the parent entity\u2019) and the following subsidiaries within the XVIVO group: XVIVO BV and XVIVO Perfusion Inc.\r\n\r\nThe Board of Directors of XVIVO Perfusion AB approved this statement on 10 December 2024.\r\n

Organisational structure and supply chains<\/h3>\r\nXVIVO\u2019s technologies and services enable clinicians and researchers around the world to preserve, transport and assess organs outside the body. Operating in the medical technology sector, XVIVO employs approximately 180 employees and has sales in more than 70 countries. XVIVO is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden and the parent company, XVIVO Perfusion AB, is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. For more information about XVIVO, please visit: https:\/\/www.xvivogroup.com\/us\/about-us\/<\/a>.\r\n\r\nXVIVO\u2019s operations are conducted in three business areas: Thoracic (lung and heart transplantation), Abdominal (liver and kidney transplantation and perfusion services) and Services (organ recovery). Key operations include corporate functions in offices in Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy and the US; product development; and manufacturing and warehousing.\r\n\r\nProduct development primarily takes place in-house at XVIVO\u2019s four global development centres: Gothenburg, Sweden (solutions); Lund, Sweden (heart); Groningen, Netherlands (kidney and liver); Denver, US (lung). Inhouse manufacturing and warehousing operations are located in the US, the Netherlands and Sweden.\r\n\r\nXVIVO\u2019s products are largely manufactured externally by carefully selected subcontractors. XVIVO\u2019s manufacturing partners (tier 1 suppliers) are based in the US, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany. Specific parts for XVIVO\u2019s products are sourced from a supplier based in China (tier 2). Other indirect suppliers in XVIVO\u2019s value chain include those providing services and raw materials to our suppliers.\r\n\r\nXVIVO has not yet undertaken a formal risk assessment relating to modern slavery or human trafficking in its business or supply chain, however we intend to do so in the next year. All countries where XVIVO has significant operations and all our manufacturing partners\u2019 countries of operation are considered low risk for slavery, according to the Global Slavery Index 2023.[1]<\/a>\r\n

Policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking<\/h3>\r\n

Code of Conduct<\/h5>\r\nXVIVO\u2019s Code of Conduct sets out our commitment to upholding high ethical standards in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This means acting in accordance with ethical guidelines and international instruments, including the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the UN Global Company and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.\r\n\r\nXVIVO prohibits the use of forced and child labour within its own operations and by its business partners. The Code applies to all XVIVO employees and temporary employees and XVIVO\u2019s management oversees compliance with the CEO ultimately responsible. The Code of Conduct can be found at: https:\/\/www.xvivogroup.com\/us\/about-us\/business-ethics-2\/<\/a>.\r\n
Code of Conduct for Suppliers<\/h5>\r\nAll suppliers are expected to meet minimum ethical requirements within their own operations and their supply chain, as set out in XVIVO\u2019s Code of Conduct for Suppliers <\/em>(\u2018the Supplier Code\u2019).\r\n\r\nThe Code of Conduct for Suppliers<\/em> is aligned with international human rights instruments and contains provisions relating to ethical labour practices. The Supplier Code prohibits suppliers from using any form of forced labour and requires suppliers establish mechanisms to implement and communicate its principles within its supply chain. XVIVO reserves the right to request information relating to the provisions of the Supplier Code and may conduct audits and reviews of suppliers. The Strategic Sourcing Director is responsible for the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Suppliers.\r\n\r\nXVIVO\u2019s Code of Conduct for Suppliers<\/em> can be found at: https:\/\/www.xvivogroup.com\/us\/about-us\/business-ethics\/code-of-conduct-for-suppliers\/<\/a>.\r\n

Due diligence processes<\/h3>\r\nWith 25 years\u2019 experience in the industry, XVIVO has built close partnerships with key suppliers, who are expected to meet high quality and ethical standards. These activities collectively contribute to mitigating the risk of modern slavery within XVIVO\u2019s operations and supply chains.\r\n\r\nAll critical suppliers must align with the requirements set out in the Code of Conduct for Suppliers<\/em> or equivalent ethical principles. XVIVO evaluates and selects major suppliers and subcontractors on their ability to meet the principles outlined in its overarching Code of Conduct.\u00a0 XVIVO also requires that all distributors abide by the overarching Code of Conduct, which is attached to the Distributor Agreements.\r\n\r\nXVIVO will support suppliers to meet ethical requirements through dialogue and co-operation. Suppliers who do not meet the principles of the Supplier Code or equivalent must discuss corrective actions with XVIVO. The Strategic Sourcing Director is ultimately responsible for overseeing supplier due diligence.\r\n\r\nAll employees and external stakeholders can report violations of the Code of Conduct or unlawful behaviour confidentially through XVIVO\u2019s external whistleblower function. This can be accessed through XVIVO\u2019s website: https:\/\/www.xvivogroup.com\/us\/<\/a>.\r\n\r\nXVIVO tracks the number of cases raised through its whistleblowing function. All reported cases are tracked and investigated. Where an ethical or legal violation is found to have taken place, XVIVO will take corrective measures. More information on whistleblowing cases is reported in XVIVO\u2019s annual reporting which is available at: https:\/\/www.xvivogroup.com\/us\/investors\/reports-and-presentations\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nAll XVIVO employees receive business conduct training to ensure all staff understand the behavioural standards expected of them. At present, Modern Slavery is implicitly rather than explicitly addressed as part of this training, which covers XVIVO\u2019s Code of Conduct.\r\n\r\nXVIVO acknowledges that effective due diligence is an ongoing process. XVIVO intends to review its due diligence processes and practices, as well as its training practices with respect to modern slavery, based on the outcome of its modern slavery risk assessment.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nChristoffer Rosenblad<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCEO\r\n\r\nXVIVO Perfusion AB\r\n\r\nDate: 9 January 2025","block_text_content_two":"","background_color":"bg-white","has_spacing":false,"full_width":false,"anchor_id":""}]},"yoast_head":"\nModern Slavery Act Statement (UK) -
