For the year ended 31 December 2024
This statement constitutes the Modern Slavery Act Statement for Weybourne Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“Weybourne Holdings”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and has been prepared in accordance with section 54 Modern Slavery Act 2015.
The Group is committed to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chain.
Structure and business
The Group, headquartered in Singapore, carries out businesses across markets through Weybourne Holdings’ principal subsidiaries, Dyson Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“Dyson”), Dyson Farming Limited (“Dyson Farming”) and Weybourne Limited (“Weybourne”).
Supply Chains
Weybourne Holdings is committed to acting in an ethical manner and to ensuring that modern slavery plays no part in the operations of its businesses or that of its suppliers. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking, and we expect the same commitment from all third parties with whom we have a business relationship. To that end, a code of conduct (which Weybourne Holdings itself complies with) is supplied to all third parties we engage with, which includes steps that we expect them to have taken to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking and requires them to be transparent about their efforts in this regard.
Risk assessments and due diligence processes
Weybourne Holdings conducts risk assessments to identify and address modern slavery risks and carrying out due diligence processes when entering into business relationships with third parties. It is also made clear to third parties that Weybourne Holdings reserves the right to commission an audit of all such third parties’ business activities (including their anti-modern slavery and human trafficking practices) and / or terminate any agreements should this code of conduct be breached.
Key policies and procedures
A number of company policies and procedures exist to ensure the fair treatment of all those employed directly and indirectly by Weybourne Holdings. These include:
“right to work” checks;
a whistleblowing / Speak Up policy;
a Respect at Work policy; and
an Equal Opportunities policy.
Processes are in place to ensure that any suspected breach of these policies is reported, that such issues are investigated and that appropriate action is taken. Any activities formally investigated under these policies the outcome of such investigations are reported to the Board of Directors of Weybourne Holdings (the “Board”) at each quarterly meeting.
Training
We also provide appropriate training to staff across the Group to ensure that all employees fully understand the modern slavery risks within Weybourne Holdings’ business and supply chains.
Organisational Structure
Dyson Holdings Pte. Ltd.
Dyson, also headquartered in Singapore, is a global group of technology companies committed to conducting business in an ethical and environmentally responsible way. Dyson’s business operations primarily include engineering, research, development, manufacturing and testing operations in Singapore, the UK, Malaysia, Mexico, China and the Philippines. Dyson has created problem solving technologies for floorcare, haircare, air purification, robotics, lighting, and hand drying.
Dyson independently prepares an annual Modern Slavery and Child Labour Statement in line with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act 2012 (SB657), the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, the Norwegian Transparency Act 2022, the Swiss Child Labour Law 2022 (DDTrO) and the Canadian Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act 2023 (Bill S-211), outlining its policies and procedures which can be found on the Dyson website (Here).
Weybourne Limited
Weybourne is a UK business that provides professional services to other companies in the Group and related parties. It is also the holding company of Dyson Farming. Weybourne is clear that forced labour in any form is unacceptable and works to a code of conduct which sets out strict requirements in relation to ethical practices and health and safety.
Although the turnover of Weybourne’s own business falls below the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015’s threshold for mandatory reporting, aggregated with the turnover of its subsidiary undertakings (including Dyson Farming) it is higher than the threshold. The business of Weybourne is undertaken in conjunction with Weybourne Holdings and the practices and policies adopted by Weybourne are consistent with those set out in this statement. The directors of Weybourne are responsible for ensuring that Weybourne and its subsidiaries maintain our zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. The directors of Weybourne reviewed this statement at a meeting of the board on 14th March 2025 and adopted this statement as an appropriate statement for Weybourne for the financial year ended 31st December 2024 pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Dyson Farming Limited
Dyson Farming is a UK business, organised around three key operations: farming, property and energy production. As Dyson Farming is over the threshold for mandatory reporting and operates a distinct business from that of Weybourne, Dyson Farming has independently prepared a Modern Slavery Act Statement for the financial year ended 31st December 2024 pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. A copy of that statement can be found on the Dyson Farming website (Here).
Other parts of the group
Apart from Dyson, Dyson Farming and Weybourne, no other member of the Group supplies goods or services and therefore no other member of the Group falls under the scope of The Transparency in Supply Chains provision in the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
This statement was approved by the Board of directors of Weybourne Holdings at its meeting on 27 March 2025.
