Conflicts of Interest Policy
Approved by: Ian Chadwick — 20/01/2026
Purpose
WBP Equip is committed to ensuring that its business is conducted fairly, transparently, and free from improper influence. This policy sets out our approach to identifying, disclosing, and managing conflicts of interest.
What Is a Conflict of Interest
A conflict of interest arises where an individual's personal, professional, or financial interests could — or could be perceived to — influence their judgement, decisions, or actions on behalf of the Company.
Conflicts may be actual, potential, or perceived.
Who It Applies To
This policy applies to all directors, employees, contractors, advisers, and other individuals involved in or influencing the business decisions of WBP Equip.
Examples of Conflicts
Conflicts of interest may arise in a range of situations, including but not limited to:
- financial interests in a supplier, partner, or competitor;
- outside roles, advisory positions, or directorships that may affect objectivity;
- personal or family relationships with individuals or organisations relevant to the Company's activities;
- receipt of benefits, hospitality, or inducements; and
- involvement in decisions where competing interests are present.
Disclosure and Management
Individuals are expected to disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest promptly and transparently. Disclosures will be recorded and managed appropriately, which may include restricting involvement in relevant decisions or applying other safeguards.
Governance and Oversight
The management of conflicts of interest forms part of our wider governance, risk, and compliance framework. The Board has overall oversight responsibility for ensuring that conflicts are identified and appropriately managed.
Related Policies
This policy should be read alongside the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Whistleblowing and Speaking Up Policy, and Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Crime Awareness Statement.
Raising Concerns
If you are uncertain whether a situation gives rise to a conflict, or if you become aware of an undisclosed conflict, you should raise it through the Company's governance channels. No individual will be penalised for raising a concern in good faith.
