Modern Slavery Statement
At Great Lakes Glass Vape, we are committed to upholding ethical standards and promoting human rights throughout our operations and supply chain. We recognize the importance of combatting modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach and efforts to prevent and address such practices.
Our Policies and Commitments:
- Compliance: We strictly adhere to all applicable laws and regulations related to modern slavery, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (UK) and similar legislation in other jurisdictions where we operate.
- Supplier Code of Conduct: We have implemented a robust Supplier Code of Conduct that sets out our expectations for our suppliers and business partners. This code includes provisions explicitly prohibiting the use of forced labor, child labor, and any form of human trafficking.
- Supplier Due Diligence: We conduct thorough due diligence processes when engaging with new suppliers and business partners. This includes assessing their practices, policies, and compliance with applicable labor and human rights standards. We prioritize working with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices.
- Training and Awareness: We provide regular training and awareness programs to our employees, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct and the identification and reporting of any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking.
- Reporting Mechanisms: We maintain a confidential reporting mechanism that allows employees, suppliers, or other stakeholders to raise concerns or report potential instances of modern slavery or human trafficking. We take all reports seriously and conduct thorough investigations to address any substantiated claims.
- Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously reviewing and improving our policies and practices related to combating modern slavery. We collaborate with industry partners, experts, and organizations to stay informed about emerging issues and best practices in this area.
Our Supply Chain:
We recognize that identifying and addressing modern slavery risks in complex global supply chains requires ongoing effort and collaboration. While we strive to work with suppliers who uphold high ethical standards, we acknowledge that risks may still exist. We are committed to taking appropriate action, which may include:
- Engaging in dialogue with suppliers to address and resolve any identified concerns.
- Conducting audits or assessments to evaluate suppliers’ compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
- Terminating relationships with suppliers found to be involved in modern slavery or human trafficking, should remediation efforts be unsuccessful or insufficient.
Our Future Steps:
We understand that combating modern slavery is an ongoing journey that requires ongoing vigilance and improvement. In the future, we aim to:
- Further enhance our due diligence processes to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks within our supply chain.
- Collaborate with industry partners, NGOs, and governmental organizations to promote best practices and address systemic issues related to modern slavery.
- Increase transparency by regularly reporting on our progress in combating modern slavery.
By adopting these measures and remaining committed to our principles, we aim to contribute to the eradication of modern slavery and ensure that our operations and supply chain are free from any form of exploitation.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect our evolving practices and commitments. -The Great Lakes Glass Vape Magazine Team
