Modern Slavery Statement 2022

At Five Leaves CBD Shop Online Magazine, we are committed to upholding ethical business practices and promoting human rights. We firmly oppose all forms of modern slavery, including forced labor, human trafficking, and exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment to combating modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.

Our Approach:

  1. Policy and Compliance: We have implemented a robust Modern Slavery Policy that sets out our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. This policy applies to all our employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We regularly review and update this policy to ensure its alignment with best practices and legal requirements.
  2. Risk Assessment: We conduct comprehensive risk assessments of our operations and supply chains to identify potential areas of vulnerability to modern slavery. This assessment includes an evaluation of high-risk sectors, geographical locations, and business activities. We collaborate with industry experts and organizations to enhance our understanding of modern slavery risks and mitigation strategies.
  3. Supplier Due Diligence: We are committed to working with suppliers who share our commitment to human rights and ethical practices. Our supplier due diligence process includes rigorous assessments and evaluations of our suppliers’ labor practices, including their compliance with local labor laws, working conditions, and adherence to internationally recognized labor standards.
  4. Supplier Code of Conduct: We require all our suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which explicitly prohibits any form of modern slavery. This code outlines our expectations regarding fair employment practices, wages, working hours, health and safety, and respect for human rights. We communicate our code of conduct to our suppliers and actively engage with them to ensure their compliance.
  5. Training and Awareness: We provide regular training and awareness programs to our employees, contractors, and key stakeholders to ensure they understand the risks and signs of modern slavery. This training emphasizes our commitment to combating modern slavery and equips our team with the knowledge and tools to identify and report any concerns or suspicions.
  6. Reporting and Whistleblowing: We maintain an open and transparent reporting mechanism for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns related to modern slavery. We encourage the reporting of any suspected violations or breaches of our Modern Slavery Policy or Supplier Code of Conduct. Whistleblower protection measures are in place to safeguard individuals who report in good faith.
  7. Continuous Improvement: We recognize that combating modern slavery is an ongoing effort. We continually review and enhance our policies, procedures, and practices to strengthen our approach to eradicating modern slavery. We collaborate with industry partners, NGOs, and other stakeholders to share best practices, exchange knowledge, and contribute to the collective effort to combat modern slavery.
