Anti Slavery And Human Trafficking Supply Chain Policy

INTRODUCTION

All In One Merchandise is committed to implementing steps aimed at ensuring there is no slavery or human trafficking within its business or supply chains. The company recognises its responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking.

SUPPLY CHAINS

The company currently sources products from Europe, the USA, Pakistan, China, and Bangladesh.

All suppliers are issued with, and are expected to comply with, the company’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and Ethical Trading Policy.

The company is committed to ensuring that its suppliers adhere to the highest ethical standards and comply with its Ethical Trading Policy. Suppliers must demonstrate that they provide safe working conditions and are committed to adhering to the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, along with ongoing improvements to employee working conditions.

Serious violations of the company’s Ethical Trading Policy will result in the termination of the business relationship.

DUE DILIGENCE CHECKS

The company undertakes due diligence when onboarding new suppliers and regularly reviews its existing suppliers. These due diligence actions and reviews include:

  • Mapping the supply chain broadly to assess specific product or geographical risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking.
  • Reviewing all aspects of the supply chain regularly, based on the supply chain mapping.
  • Evaluating modern slavery and human trafficking risks for each new supplier using a SMETA audit.
  • Conducting annual supplier audits or assessments via SMETA, updated to include new guidance on freely chosen employment and workers’ rights.
  • Creating an annual risk profile for each supplier based on a non-compliance report.
  • Taking steps to improve substandard suppliers’ practices, including providing advice through the non-compliance report and requiring action plans.
  • Participating in collaborative initiatives focused on human rights, particularly addressing slavery and human trafficking, through organisations such as ‘Stronger Together’ or SMETA.
  • Invoking sanctions against suppliers that fail to improve their performance in line with an action plan or who seriously violate the company’s supplier code of conduct. This may include terminating the business relationship.
