Introduction
In accordance with the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “Act”), 2287462 Alberta Ltd. and each of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Go Auto”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) submit this Forced Labour and Child Labour Report for the financial year ended December 31, 2025. This Report describes the steps taken during the reporting period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, to identify, assess, prevent, and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used in Go Auto’s operations and supply chains.
Go Auto is committed to conducting business with honesty and integrity. Our aim is to strengthen our controls and to properly assess, prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used at any step in our operations and supply chain pursuant to section 11 of the Act. We recognize our responsibility to respect and protect human rights of all individuals who support and intersect with our business; as such, we expect our business partners and suppliers to uphold these same principles and adhere to applicable human rights and employment standard laws.

Steps Taken to Prevent and Reduce the Risks of Forced Labour and Child Labour
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, our approach to preventing and reducing the risks of forced labour or child labour in our operations focused on applying our formal policies, codes of conduct for our employees, and complying with laws protecting our customers, colleagues, and employees. In our supply chains, we conducted a high-level assessment of the risks of forced labour or child labour in our supply chains and reviewed the available information about our OEMs and suppliers’ practices relating to modern slavery risks.
Policies & Due Diligence Processes
Go Auto is committed to protecting human rights, founded on a strong belief in doing what is right and creating a safe and inclusive experience for all colleagues and workers across our value chain and for the many customers who choose our products and services. Through formal policies, codes of conduct for our employees, and adherence with provincial, state, and federal compliance standards, we strive to uphold the rights of customers, colleagues, and employees, as well as the many workers, including migrant and temporary labourers, across our companies.
Go Auto’s supplier due diligence is currently risk-based and focuses on direct suppliers, OEM partners, and service providers. This includes consideration of supplier reputation, contractual obligations, applicable legal compliance requirements, and, where available, public supplier disclosures relating to human rights, forced labour, child labour, and responsible sourcing.
Furthermore, our Employee Code of Conduct notes that it “applies to all employees…across all jurisdictions” and encompasses “independent contractors, consultants, agents, and other representatives”. Specifically, it states that all individuals “must always follow applicable jurisdictional laws, rules, and regulations”. Our onboarding process for all new staff ensures that our Code of Conduct is communicated properly and clearly to all employees who join our organization. By adhering to company policies and procedures that comply with legal and regulatory requirements, Go Auto has taken steps to reduce the risk of forced labour or child labour within its workforce.
Assessment of Forced Labour & Child Labour Risks
Go Auto has conducted a high-level assessment of the risks of forced labour or child labour within our operations and supply chains. We have reviewed various OEM Supply Chains Act reports to gain an understanding of the OEM’s practices in place to mitigate forced labour and child labour risks, and we have consulted with other key suppliers to discuss the issue of modern slavery risks within the supply chain network.
The supply chains in the automotive industry are complex, with numerous levels of suppliers between Go Auto and the source of raw materials, parts, components, and manufactured goods that form part of the broader automotive supply chain. Based on the nature of Go Auto’s direct operations and its primary reliance on established OEMs and suppliers in Canada and the United States, Go Auto considers its direct operational risk to be relatively lower. However, Go Auto recognizes that indirect supply chain risk may exist within deeper tiers of the automotive manufacturing supply chain, including raw materials, parts, components, electronics, textiles, batteries, and outsourced manufacturing. Go Auto’s principal suppliers of vehicles and parts are OEMs, many of which maintain governance frameworks, supplier standards, responsible sourcing policies, and anti-slavery procedures.
Despite the safeguards put in place by the OEMs, we are keenly aware of the potential for Go Auto to cause or contribute, directly or indirectly, to modern slavery through our operations and supply chain where aspects of manufacturing are outsourced to geographical locations with higher instances of modern slavery practices. We are working to better understand the supply chains of all key partners and their corresponding modern slavery policies and practices to mitigate forced labour and child labour risks going forward.
Remediation Measures
Our Report recognizes that there is no “one size fits all” approach to remediation, and our response to any such matters would be formulated considering the prevailing facts and circumstances. In all cases, however, we will respond in a manner that is appropriate and ensure that the victim’s wellbeing is prioritized. We encourage our employees to report conduct that is contrary to our policies and codes of conduct, through confidential internal reporting mechanisms.
To date, Go Auto has not identified any specific instances of forced labour or child labour in its supply chain, and therefore, no remediation measures have been taken.
Remediation of Loss of Income
To date, Go Auto has not identified any instances where the measures we have implemented to eliminate forced labour or child labour from our supply chain has led to the loss of income, and as such no remediation measures have been taken to address this issue.
Training
Go Auto is continuing its endeavors to ensure that our organization and personnel remain aware of risks and are mitigating any such risk of forced labour or child labour in our supply chain and in our operations. In accordance with our established workplace policies and codes of conduct, employees receive training and onboarding related to legal and regulatory requirements, workplace safety, employee conduct and human rights in the workplace.
As part of our commitment to strengthen our controls in accordance with the Act, we are exploring and evaluating additional training programs and materials offered through third party specialists and supplier partners to improve our knowledge and awareness of indicators, risks, and due diligence requirements relating to forced labour and child labour.
Assessing Effectiveness
Go Auto is committed to continuously improving its awareness of modern slavery risks and the effectiveness of its related controls. On an ongoing basis, Go Auto intends to assess effectiveness through periodic review of relevant policies and procedures, monitoring of employee reporting channels, tracking of any identified concerns, review of available supplier and OEM disclosures, consideration of supplier compliance representations, and evaluation of whether additional training or supplier due diligence procedures are required for higher-risk supplier categories.
