Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction

At Best CBD London, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and promoting human rights in all aspects of our operations. We recognize the presence of modern slavery and human trafficking in today’s world, and we are dedicated to preventing and combating such practices. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we have taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our organization or our supply chains.

Our Organization

Best CBD London is an online magazine that focuses on providing reliable information, news, and resources related to CBD products and the cannabis industry. While we do not have a complex supply chain or manufacturing processes, we understand our responsibility to ensure that our own operations are conducted ethically and that our suppliers adhere to the same principles.

Policies and Procedures

We have implemented robust policies and procedures to address the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our organization. These policies include:

·        Ethical Sourcing: We have established guidelines for sourcing our content, products, and services to ensure that we only work with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices.

·        Supplier Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence on our suppliers to assess their adherence to ethical standards. We strive to work with suppliers who have their own policies and procedures in place to prevent slavery and human trafficking.

·        Staff Awareness: We provide training and guidance to our employees on identifying and reporting any potential signs of modern slavery or human trafficking.

·        Whistleblowing Policy: We have established a confidential whistleblowing mechanism for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports can be made anonymously, and we guarantee that any reports will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.

·        Continuous Improvement: We are committed to reviewing and improving our policies and procedures to ensure that we are effectively addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking. We also engage in regular dialogue with our suppliers to encourage transparency and monitor their compliance.

Supplier Engagement

We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical practices and to operate in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to modern slavery and human trafficking. We engage in ongoing communication with our suppliers to ensure they understand our expectations and to provide them with support and guidance to meet these expectations.

Future Steps

While we have made significant efforts to address modern slavery and human trafficking, we recognize that there is always room for improvement. In the future, we will continue to:

·        Enhance Due Diligence: Strengthen our due diligence processes to assess and monitor suppliers’ compliance with our ethical standards.

·        Collaboration: Collaborate with industry stakeholders, experts, and organizations to share best practices and drive collective action against modern slavery and human trafficking.
