MANN+HUMMEL is a globally active family-owned company headquartered in Ludwigsburg, Germany. For over 80 years, the company has been developing and producing filtration solutions, initially for the automotive sector and increasingly for other areas in industry and public utilities.

Our product portfolio includes filtration solutions for automotive and industrial applications, cleaner interior and exterior air, and the sustainable use of water. The MANN+HUMMEL Group is represented by more than 80 locations on six continents. The MANN+HUMMEL Group's products include air filter systems, intake systems, fluid filter systems, filter media, cabin filters, and industrial filters.

Stationary and mobile systems for filtering fine dust and nitrogen dioxide also expand our product range for improving outdoor air quality.

MANN+HUMMEL is committed to ethical business practices and the elimination of modern slavery, child labor and human trafficking in our own operations and in our supply chains. We have a zero-tolerance approach to these practices and work continuously to ensure transparency and accountability across our global operations.

This Statement is published in accordance with Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act. It outlines the steps taken during the financial year ending 31 December 2024.

Policies and Governance - Our approach to human rights

Our approach to human rights is based on the laws in the respective countries where we operate and internationally recognized declarations and standards which include:

United Nations Global Compact and

Internation Labour Organization and

its Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up.

Our human rights approach, including tackling modern slavery and human trafficking, is supported by our

Human Rights Policy Statement

Code of conduct

Supplier code of conduct

which set our expectations for our own employees in our own operations and to suppliers in our supply chains.

In the reporting year 2024, a human rights policy statement and an updated Code of Conduct for Suppliers were added, and a globally responsible Human Rights Officer has been appointed.

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

As we are subject to the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act for the Prevention of Human Rights Violations in Supply Chains (LkSG), we follow a risk-based approach to human rights due diligence. Accordingly, we assess the potential modern slavery risks, including the use of child, forced, trafficked, prison, bonded, and indentured labor, as well as forced overtime, within our own operations and in our supply chains. Hereby, we consider the country of origin of the products, raw materials or services we source. We also consider the type of labor being used, whether skilled, semi-skilled or un-skilled, permanent, agency or migrant labor. Our risk management and due diligence process for human rights, our compliance with local rules and regulations and our contractual agreements with our suppliers ensure that human rights and working conditions are respected within our own operations and in our supply chains.

We require our suppliers to implement appropriate risk management systems to prevent, mitigate, and eliminate human rights risks or violations that they cause or to which they contribute. They are also required to ensure that their upstream partners along with the supply chain implement these risk prevention measures.

If a supplier is found not to be compliant with our human rights expectations, we will work with that vendor to become compliant. We take non-compliance very seriously and will not hesitate to end business relations with a supplier who is unable to comply with our human rights expectations. Our agreements with our suppliers permit us to request certificates or reports of legal compliance upon request.

As we continuously screen our suppliers, we can identify human rights risks or violations at an early stage which enables us to implement appropriate risk mitigation processes. As part of such approach, we require our suppliers to conduct a comprehensive CSR assessment on the EcoVadis cooperation platform. This platform enables our suppliers to provide us with key data on their human rights approach, sustainability strategy and processes.

Risks or violations to human rights as well as any other cases of non-compliance or misconduct resulting from our own operations or supply chains can be reported by our whistleblowing tool SpeakUp. Reports can be also made anonymously and by third parties, particularly by people affected by our own operations or by our supply chains.

As part of our ongoing due diligence efforts, we use the Osapiens news monitoring system to continuously screen global news sources. This tool automatically links relevant findings to specific business partners, assigns them to predefined risk categories, and prioritizes them in line with our risk scoring methodology developed to meet the requirements of the LkSG.

In 2024, a total of 179 potential human rights-related incidents were identified through this system. Considering the degree of influence over the respective business partners and the severity of the incidents, it was determined that taking further measures would not be appropriate.

Training and Awareness

All our employees must attend our annual training course on our company-wide Code of Conduct. We require all employees to uphold our standards, promoting honest and ethical conduct and compliance. Our Code of Conduct requires all employees to follow applicable laws, including those prohibiting forced, child labor or human trafficking.

Audits

Given the scale of MANN+HUMMEL’s global supply chain, conducting regular audits of all suppliers is not feasible. Therefore, when a potential incident exceeds the defined leverage threshold and is classified as a high-impact case, appropriate countermeasures are initiated. Depending on the severity and nature of the issue, MANN+HUMMEL reserves the right to conduct on-site audits at the supplier’s location. In such cases, the assessment timeline may be accelerated to ensure a timely and thorough investigation.
