MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

This statement sets out Kia UK Limited's actions to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to its business and to put in place steps that are aimed at ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in its own business and its supply chains. This statement covers the activities of Kia UK Limited operating as automotive distributor for Kia in the United Kingdom. The UK market is primarily supplied with vehicles via Kia Corporation (South Korea), Kia Mexico and Kia Slovakia.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and relates to actions and activities during the financial year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

At Kia UK Limited, we recognise that we have a responsibility to take a robust approach to eliminating slavery and human trafficking. Our organisation is absolutely committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in its corporate activities, and to ensuring that its supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking.

In line with our company's stance on eliminating modern slavery, our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the principles and standards expected of all suppliers to enable our business to grow responsibly and sustainably. We expect our suppliers to conduct business based on integrity, honesty, openness, and fairness towards all stakeholders, including its employees, sub-suppliers, business partners, shareholders and any person who is involved or affected by the business activities of the supplier. This links intrinsically with our core values, which we expect all members of staff and suppliers to abide by.

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have systems in place to:

Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains, particularly in the most vulnerable parts of the world;

Mitigate the risk of slavery occurring in our supply chains;

Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains; and

Protection for Whistleblowers with the Company’s Whistleblowing Policy.

Provisions in Supplier Agreements We require our suppliers to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and report any incidents or suspected incidents of modern slavery to us. All our suppliers must comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct. We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with suppliers if they do not adhere to the Modern Slavery Act 2015, or if they breach our Supplier Code.

Relevant policies We operate the following policies that describe our approach to the identification of modern slavery risks and steps to be taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in its operations:

Whistle Blowing Policy - We encourage all our workers, customers and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities, or the supply chains of, our organisation. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking. Our whistleblowing procedure is designed to make it easy for workers to make disclosures, without fear of retaliation. Employees, customers or others who have concerns can use our confidential helpline.

Kia Compliance & Integrity Code - Our code makes clear to employees the actions and behaviour expected of them when representing our organisation. We strive to maintain the highest standards of employee conduct and ethical behaviour when operating abroad and managing our supply chain.

Recruitment/Agency workers - We use only specified, reputable employment agencies to source labour and always verify the practices of any new agencies used before accepting workers from that agency.

Supplier Code of Conduct - We are committed to ensuring that suppliers adhere to the highest standards of ethics. Suppliers are required to demonstrate that they provide safe working conditions where necessary, treat workers with dignity and respect, and act ethically and within the law in their use of labour. We work with suppliers to ensure that they meet the standards of the code and improve their worker's working conditions. Serious violations of our supplier code of conduct will lead to the termination of the business relationship.

We are reviewing our training on modern slavery to ensure a level of understanding of the risks across our supply chain. We will also encourage our business partners to provide training to their staff, suppliers and providers.

Training is provided on compliance to all employees. It is the responsibility of all members of staff, or those under our control, to ensure the prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in our business or supply chain. Members of staff are encouraged to raise any concerns regarding modern slavery at the earliest opportunity and must not act in a way that is inconsistent with, or which might lead to a breach of, the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

All Kia officers and employees worldwide must perform their duties in accordance with the Kia Human Rights Charter, including when collaborating with suppliers and external stakeholders. Kia respects and supports a wide range of recognized human rights/labour-related international standards and guidelines, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, International Labor Organization Constitution, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible Business Conduct, among others.

This charter actively implements human rights management across all our group companies, mitigating the risk of modern slavery across our global supply chains.
