Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking StatementAt [Your Studio Name], we are committed to conducting business responsibly and ethically. In line with Modern Slavery legislation, we take proactive steps to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chain.
As a creative studio, our supply chain may include freelance collaborators, local print and production partners, software providers, and suppliers of materials or equipment. While the risk of modern slavery in our sector is generally low, we believe in maintaining transparency and ethical standards at every level.
OUR COMMITMENTS AND ACTIONS:
Supplier Assessment Based on Risk
We assess all key suppliers based on the nature of their work, size, and geographic context. While we do not require formal Modern Slavery Statements from all partners—particularly smaller or local organisations who may not have the infrastructure to publish one—we only work with individuals and businesses where the risk of modern slavery is assessed to be minimal.
Internal Policies and Awareness
We have clear internal policies around ethical business conduct and provide our team with guidance on recognising and addressing risks related to exploitation and unfair labour practices.
Fair Engagement with Freelancers and Contractors
We treat all freelancers and collaborators with respect, ensure they are paid fairly and promptly, and are engaged under clear, ethical terms.
Ethical and Sustainable Production
When overseeing the production of printed or physical materials, we aim to work with suppliers who demonstrate transparent and responsible labour practices, even if informal, and who reflect our values of fairness and sustainability.
Ongoing Monitoring and Improvement
We regularly review our operations and supply chain relationships to strengthen our approach and uphold our commitment to human rights and ethical standards.
We believe that ethical responsibility is a shared value that doesn't depend on scale or infrastructure. By working closely with suppliers we trust and assessing risk thoughtfully, we aim to foster a supply chain that is fair, inclusive, and free from exploitation.For further information or to request our Ethical Sourcing Guidelines, please contact hello@weareplan-b.com
