Modern Slavery Statement 2022

At CBD Connect, we are committed to conducting our business in an ethical and responsible manner. We uphold the principles of human rights, fair labor practices, and the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.

Our Business and Supply Chains:

CBD Connect operates as an online magazine dedicated to CBD in Las Vegas. While our business primarily focuses on providing information, resources, and advertising opportunities, we recognize that modern slavery can occur throughout global supply chains. We are committed to working with suppliers and partners who share our values and commitment to ethical practices.

Policies and Due Diligence:

We have implemented policies and procedures to prevent and address modern slavery within our organization and supply chains. These measures include:

  1. Supplier Code of Conduct: We expect our suppliers and business partners to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes provisions on labor rights, fair wages, and the prohibition of forced labor and human trafficking.
  2. Supplier Evaluation: We assess our suppliers based on their commitment to ethical business practices, including labor rights and fair treatment of workers. We strive to work with suppliers who share our values and promote a safe and inclusive working environment.
  3. Training and Awareness: We provide training to our employees to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking risks. This includes educating our team on the indicators of modern slavery, reporting mechanisms, and the importance of responsible sourcing.
  4. Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence on our suppliers and partners to identify any potential risks or instances of modern slavery. This includes evaluating their labor practices, conducting site visits, and engaging in open dialogue to ensure compliance with our standards.

Reporting and Compliance:

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery. We take all reports seriously and will investigate and address any allegations promptly and appropriately. Our commitment to transparency and accountability drives us to continuously review and improve our practices to combat modern slavery effectively.

Future Steps:

CBD Connect recognizes that the fight against modern slavery is an ongoing effort that requires continuous improvement and collaboration. We will strive to enhance our policies, due diligence processes, and partnerships to promote ethical practices throughout our operations and supply chains. We will monitor developments in legislation and best practices to ensure compliance and to strengthen our commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

Conclusion:

CBD Connect is firmly committed to upholding human rights and eradicating modern slavery. We recognize our responsibility to promote ethical practices, both within our organization and throughout our supply chains. We will continue to work diligently, in collaboration with our stakeholders, to prevent modern slavery and ensure a fair and equitable business environment.
