Introduction
Forever is committed to operating with the highest ethical standards, ensuring that our business practices are free from any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, or exploitation. We recognise our responsibility to take proactive steps in safeguarding the rights and well-being of all individuals across our operations and supply chains. We are dedicated to creating a workplace where respect, fairness, and dignity are fundamental values upheld at all levels.
Commitment to Ethical Practices
As part of our commitment to human rights, Forever has developed a comprehensive Code of Ethics which outlines our stance on workers' rights and ethical business conduct. This Code includes provisions for fair wages, safe working hours, and a prohibition on child labour. We also affirm our commitment to fighting modern slavery and human trafficking, not only within our organisation but throughout our supply chains.
Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery
To ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or operations, we have implemented the following measures:
- Employee Welfare
We take the welfare of our employees seriously. We have robust policies in place to ensure all employees are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. These policies cover various aspects of employment, including recruitment, employment contracts, working conditions, and employee development. We strictly prohibit any form of forced labour, child labour, or any other exploitative practices. All employment relationships are voluntary, and we ensure that wages and benefits comply with applicable legal standards.
- Supplier Engagement
We hold our suppliers to the same high standards of ethics that we set for ourselves. Our procurement policies require suppliers to comply with relevant laws and regulations on modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as to implement practices that promote the fair treatment of workers. We conduct regular assessments and audits of our suppliers to ensure they meet our ethical standards. We are committed to working collaboratively with suppliers to improve conditions and address any issues that may arise.
- Training and Awareness
To strengthen our efforts in combating modern slavery, we regularly discuss with our employees and suppliers the risks and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. This is designed to empower our staff to identify and respond to potential issues and to foster a culture of transparency and responsibility within our supply chains. We are committed to raising awareness and encouraging a shared understanding of the importance of ethical practices.
- Reporting Mechanisms
We maintain clear and confidential reporting mechanisms for both employees and suppliers to raise concerns regarding modern slavery or human trafficking. These channels are designed to protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure that all concerns are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. We continuously review and update our policies to ensure that they remain effective in addressing emerging risks and comply with the latest legal requirements.
Conclusion
Forever is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. We believe that by adhering to high ethical standards, fostering open dialogue, and continuously improving our practices, we can make a meaningful contribution to eradicating these abuses. We will continue to work with our employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to uphold our commitment to human rights and ethical conduct in every aspect of our operations.
This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and compliance with evolving legal standards.
