This is the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking statement for the Getinge Group (“Getinge”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 and is prepared in accordance with section 54, part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This statement sets out the steps taken by Getinge during 2025 to identify, prevent, mitigate and address risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. It also describes the progress made during the reporting period and our priorities for continued improvement.
This statement is made by Getinge Holding Ltd. on behalf of the following group entities:
Getinge Ltd., Pennamed Ltd., IKP 2004 Ltd., Quadralene Holdings Ltd. and Quadralene Ltd.
This statement has been supported by our leadership and formally approved by the Getinge Holding Ltd. Board of Directors on 16th September 2026.
Organization, structure and supply chains
Getinge is a global medical technology company providing products and solutions that aim to improve clinical outcomes and optimize workflows in hospitals and life science institutions. We employ more than 12,000 people globally, operate in approximately 40 countries, sell products in more than 135 countries and maintain production
facilities across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The Getinge Group’s corporate headquarters is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Getinge AB (publ) is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. For more information about who we are and what we do please visit Getinge – Advancing Healthcare & Life Sciences Solutions - Getinge.
As a global manufacturer and supplier of medical technology products and services, we recognize that modern slavery risks may arise both in our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
We have identified two main areas in Getinge Group's supply chain with increased risk for infringing human rights and decent labour conditions. These are the supply chains related to the extraction of metals and minerals used in our products and the supply chain related to transportation of our products.
Some of Getinge Group’s products contain tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, most often in electronic devices needed in Getinge Group’s products. These metals, often named 3TG, have become known as 'conflict minerals' because they may be, in part, sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where a long civil war is
ongoing. Illegal armed groups control some of these mines and transit routes to fund their violent operations.
Getinge Group is committed to having a conflict-free supply chain and when minerals that could potentially come from areas of conflict are used in Getinge Group’s products, Getinge Group conducts due diligence activities on its supply chain to reasonably ensure that if the minerals originate from within the conflict area they are from conflict-free sources.
For more information on Getinge Group’s position on conflict minerals please visit www.getinge.com/int/about-us/our-responsibility/conflict-minerals/ Based on work conducted up to date we have not yet identified actual negative consequences or potential risk of negative consequences.
During the reporting period, no confirmed instances of modern slavery were identified through the processes described in this statement. However, we recognize that modern slavery remains a global risk and that continuous
due diligence and improvement are required.
Our Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy
Getinge is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly.
Our commitment to human rights is embedded in:
• The Getinge Code of Conduct;
• The Getinge Human Rights Policy;
• The Business Partner Code of Conduct; and
• Related Ethics & Compliance policies and procedures.
Getinge supports the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
During 2025, Getinge continued to strengthen its human rights framework through implementation of its Human Rights Policy and associated due diligence activities, focusing on identifying, preventing and mitigating actual and potential adverse human rights impacts within our operations and supply chain.
The Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy apply to employees, directors, consultants and agency personnel working on behalf of Getinge. We also expect suppliers, distributors and other business partners to uphold equivalent standards of ethical conduct and respect for human rights.

Getinge Group’s commitment to human rights is set out in Getinge Group’s Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy which are applicable for everyone working for and on behalf of Getinge Group, which extends to consultants, suppliers and business partners. Training in this area is conducted as part of Getinge Group’s Global Ethics & Compliance program.
Getinge Group is on a journey of continuous improvement with regards to due diligence in the supply chain including human rights due diligence. The first focus is to identify, prevent and mitigate any adverse impacts on people and to reasonably remediate if any impacts are found.
Risk Assessment and Management
Getinge applies a risk-based approach to identifying and managing modern slavery and broader human rights risks. Risk assessments consider a range of factors including:
• Country and geographic risks;
• Industry and sector risks;
• Nature of products and services supplied;
• Supplier characteristics and ownership structures;
• Labour and recruitment practices;
• Results of due diligence activities, assessments and audits.
The results of these assessments are used to determine where enhanced due diligence, additional contractual protections, monitoring activities or corrective actions may be required.
Getinge also recognizes that business practices, including purchasing and sourcing decisions, may influence labour conditions in supply chains. We therefore continue to raise awareness internally regarding responsible procurement practices and their potential impact on workers.
Business Partner Code of Conduct and Due Diligence
Getinge expects suppliers and business partners to conduct their operations in accordance with applicable laws and internationally recognized standards relating to human rights, labour conditions, environmental responsibility and anti-corruption. The Business Partner Code of Conduct sets out the minimum standards that suppliers and business partners are expected to meet.
During 2025, Getinge continued implementing its ESG-focused supplier due diligence process across the majority of Group legal entities. This process supports the identification and assessment of potential risks associated with
human rights, labour standards, health and safety and environmental practices.
The process includes:
• Risk-based supplier classification;
• Review of identified risks;
• Evaluation of potential impacts;
• Development of mitigation measures where appropriate; and
• Ongoing monitoring
Third-Party Due Diligence
To manage third party representative risk, Getinge established a Business Partner Risk Management Office in its Shared Service Center in Krakow in 2019. A new mandatory third party engagement process was established and implemented at the beginning of 2020, with the aim to ensure Getinge only forms business relationships with verified, reputable partners.
The focus of this program is currently on defined third parties. Over time and in a manner of prioritization based on areas, categories and jurisdictions where the likelihood and impact of modern slavery and human trafficking are deemed as of high risk Getinge will continue to refine the due diligence process to include updated standards and methodologies to mitigate such risks.
Human Rights Due Diligience Activities
During 2025, Getinge continued to mature its broader human rights due diligence programme. As part of these efforts, Getinge conducted a Human Rights Impact Assessment at one production site during 2025 to better understand potential and actual human rights risks, identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen long
term human rights governance.
The assessment forms part of our ongoing efforts to align with evolving regulatory expectations and international best practice regarding human rights due diligence.
Training and Awareness
Training remains an important component of Getinge's efforts to prevent and identify potential human rights violations, including modern slavery.
During 2025, Getinge delivered awareness and training activities concerning ethics, compliance and human rights to relevant employee populations. During the reporting period, additional opportunities were identified to further strengthen role-based modern slavery training, including awareness of forced labour indicators and practical
guidance for employees involved in procurement, sourcing and supply chain activities. These enhancements will continue during 2026.
Grievance Mechanism and Remediation
All stakeholders have the opportunity to raise questions and or concerns regarding potential and actual adverse Human Rights impacts by using the Getinge Speak-Up Line. The Speak-Up Line is available 24/7, 365 days per year on Getinge internal and external webpages.
Getinge has established grievance mechanisms, and is committed to investigating any concerns. If Getinge discovers any severe adverse human rights impacts,Getinge will act appropriately without delay.
Monitoring and Effectiveness
Getinge continues to enhance the monitoring of its human rights and modern slavery programme. Indicators considered within the broader programme may include:
• Completion of due diligence activities;
• Implementation of corrective actions;
• Supplier adherence to the Business Partner Code of Conduct;
• Human rights assessment activities;
• Training delivery and participation; and
• Reports received through grievance mechanisms.
We recognize the importance of continuing to develop meaningful measures that support evaluation of programme effectiveness and continuous improvement.
Our conclusion
Getinge remains committed to respecting human rights and preventing modern slavery within its operations and supply chains. While no organization can entirely eliminate the risk of modern slavery, we are committed to continuously improving our policies, due diligence processes, training, monitoring and stakeholder engagement
efforts to identify and address risks effectively.
Getinge actively encourages its partners and stakeholders to help it progress by approaching Getinge Group directly or through the appropriate channels established. Getinge welcomes any feedback and is committed to incorporating such feedback and subsequent actions in subsequent modern slavery and human trafficking
statements.
