Our Commitment
At Artysan Baker, we are committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chain. We firmly believe in treating every individual with respect and dignity, regardless of their role within our company or as part of our suppliers.
Our Approach
Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery starts with our established Employee Code of Conduct. This comprehensive code outlines our company's values and principles, including a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and work closely with them to ensure they fully understand and meet our expectations.
Preventive Measures
To prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our organization and supply chain, we have implemented various measures. This includes conducting thorough due diligence assessments of our suppliers, monitoring their compliance with our policies, and providing comprehensive training and support to both our employees and suppliers to raise awareness of the risks associated with modern slavery and the proper channels to report any concerns.
Respectful Employment
We firmly believe that all forms of forced, bonded, or involuntary labor are unacceptable. As such, we expect our suppliers to treat their employees, whether permanent or temporary, with the utmost respect and dignity, ensuring they are not coerced into lodging monies or identity papers to work. Furthermore, we advocate for every employee's right to leave their employment with reasonable notice.
Transparency and Engagement
Artysan Baker is committed to transparency and continuously reviews its policies and procedures to ensure we are at the forefront of combating modern slavery and human trafficking. We encourage all stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, and employees, to voice any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery within our business or supply chain.
Our Ongoing Efforts
In the spirit of continuous improvement, we actively collaborate with our suppliers, employees, and stakeholders to reinforce our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. By maintaining open communication and engaging in regular dialogue, we strive to promote equality and respect for all individuals.
