Venture Life

Employee satisfaction and recognising high performance

• Venture Life’s employees are key to our success and we value each and every person that works for us.
• We are committed to fostering a vibrant and engaged workplace. Our people strategy has been primarily engaged in the attraction and retention of talent which we achieve through employee engagement, implementing initiatives aimed at enhancing the well-being and camaraderie among employees and our company share scheme which allows employee’s to share in the company’s success.
• Individual high performances are recognised and we nurture personal development and continuous improvement, rewarding and recognising the contribution of our people.

Gender Diversity

• We are committed to providing equal opportunities in employment and have put in place an Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy to support this. For further detail on this Policy, click here Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy
• As at 31 August 2025, from our 61 employees, 31% are male and 69% are female.

Health and Safety

We recognise the necessity of safeguarding the health and safety of our own employees whilst at work. We operate to provide a safe and comfortable working environment for employees and visitors. Our policy is to manage our activities to avoid causing any unnecessary or unacceptable risks to health and safety.

• Our policies and associated management systems are reviewed regularly and updated as and when there are changes in the business, legislation or industry standards.
• We endeavour to set the highest practical Health and Safety standards and all employees are trained to recognise that the health and safety of themselves and others is their first priority.

The key points of our Health and Safety strategy are to:

• Provide adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our operations
• Provide and maintain a safe factory and safe equipment
• Consult regularly with our employees on matters affecting health and safety
• Ensure safe handling and use of substances
• Provide information, instruction and supervision for employees
• Ensure all employees are competent to do their job and to provide adequate training
• Maintain safe and healthy working conditions
• Prevent accidents and keep any work related ill-health to a minimum

Venture Life Group is conscious of its responsibilities in respect of the environment and is actively pursuing environmental sustainability, both within its own operations and within its supply chain. Our eco-designed Head Office has been designed and built to provide light-filled, comfortable working conditions throughout the year without the need for air conditioning. We currently recycle all our paper and we are continually looking at ways in which we can reduce our carbon footprint by reviewing the necessity of travel, water usage and office stationary.

Sustainability

Venture Life is committed to conducting business in a responsible manner, as the global pursuit of net-zero targets gains momentum, we are dedicated to double down our efforts and work together to achieve a better and more sustainable future for our stakeholders.

To help us focus on what we can do, we are aligning our efforts with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, a set of goals and targets designed to improve socio-economic and environmental conditions around the world.

Within the Research & Development department product sustainability has been further consolidated with its green-credentials with in-depth information available to customers on the scientific and information sources and on the environmental impacts of the different ingredients or packaging sourcing.

Packaging and recycling

Packaging is a crucial aspect for reducing a product impact.  The contract customer generally indicates the specifications of the pack. In general, the requests concern the certification (mainly FSC) of paper to verify that it has been supplied from a well-managed source. As well as recycling paper, plastic and metal internally, the Group procures plastic, glass and paper from suppliers that also use recycled materials or mixed materials.  The main packaging materials used for the Group’s manufactured products can be recycled by the end customer and these include:

Plastics (PE, PET, PETG, PP), Glass, Aluminium Tubes, Carton boxes, secondary and tertiary packaging (EPAL pallets).

Venture Life’s Business Ethics Statement

The reputation of Venture Life Group plc (VLG), its subsidiaries and employees is critical to our business. Our reputation for integrity depends on the ethics of our employees and our dedication to fundamental principles of transparency, honesty, and prudence. VLG has developed this policy in an effort to ensure that we all share the same high standards of business integrity that govern our work. Venture Life operates in many jurisdictions, so it is critical that everyone in our business and our supply chain understands the international regulations that govern our work, no matter where we are based individually.

This policy:

• applies to all VLG group companies and their employees, distributors, agents, contractors and other service providers wherever they are in the world;
• provides guidance and promotes high standards of business integrity; and
• is fully supported by the Board of Directors.

Compliance with this policy is mandatory. Good decisions by people are key to building and safeguarding Venture Life’s reputation around the world. No policy can address every issue you will face while doing business on behalf of VLG. This policy, however, sets out VLG’s general standards on important issues related to anti-corruption. It provides an overview of the types of scenarios to be alert for and when to seek additional guidance. Whenever a situation is unclear, seek additional clarification.

Each employee is entitled to one paid day’s leave annually to volunteer with a registered charity or community organisation.

Through our Individual volunteering days program employees are able to participate in charitable community-based projects making a difference to local causes such as Age Concern Bracknell and Sophie’s Special Ear Fund. The Program reflects our commitment to social responsibility, contributing to sustainable community development.

In addition to this each year we donate to charity rather than sending Christmas cards and employees are provided with the opportunity to vote for the charity they would like to support.

In 2025 Venture Life provided a charitable donation to Memo Creative, a charity in which one of our employee’s works with.
