Ethical Sourcing Policy

Personalised Stubby Holders believe in creating products that uphold respect for people, the environment, and business integrity. Our Ethical Sourcing Policy underlines our unwavering commitment to sourcing responsibly, promoting dignity, and championing ethical standards across all levels of our supply chain. 

Commitment to Ethical Sourcing 

We work to ensure that every partner and supplier aligns with our ethical values. This policy outlines the standards and principles that guide our sourcing activities to maintain a transparent, fair, and sustainable supply chain. 

Core Principles 

Compliance with Global Standards 

Suppliers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations within their countries of operation, particularly those governing labour, environmental, and ethical practices. 

Respect for Labour Rights 

Our suppliers are expected to champion fair labour practices. This includes ensuring voluntary employment, fair wages, and safe working conditions while strictly prohibiting child labour and involuntary labour practices. 

Health and Safety Priority 

Suppliers are responsible for providing a secure, healthy workplace for all individuals involved in the production of our products, ensuring adequate safety measures, training, and facilities. 

Environmental Responsibility 

We prioritize environmental care by encouraging suppliers to adopt sustainable practices. This encompasses the responsible use of resources, waste reduction, and actions that reduce negative environmental impacts. 

Integrity in Business Practices 

Suppliers are required to maintain transparency, honesty, and fairness in all dealings. This includes compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and fostering genuine, ethical business conduct. 

Supplier Evaluation and Monitoring 

To ensure alignment with our ethical standards, we carefully choose suppliers who share our ethical commitments, verified through documented policies and reliable third-party audits. Regular evaluations of supplier practices are conducted, focusing on adherence to our ethical criteria. Any identified discrepancies will be addressed collaboratively to ensure compliance. 

Roles and Responsibilities 

All team members at Personalised Stubby Holders are expected to uphold and advocate for ethical sourcing. Our procurement team takes a leading role in embedding this policy into our sourcing strategies and ensuring supplier alignment with our standards. 

Awareness and Training 

Our commitment to ethical sourcing extends to training and education. Regular training sessions are conducted for employees and relevant stakeholders to keep them informed and engaged with our ethical standards. Employees are encouraged to report any irregularities, such as unexpected price changes or actions that may indicate unethical practices in the supply chain. 

Transparency and Accountability 

We are committed to openness in our sourcing practices. Our dedication to transparency is reflected in periodic updates on our sourcing practices, challenges, and advancements, provided to stakeholders. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can report concerns confidentially, ensuring accountability and adherence to this policy. Unannounced audits are performed to verify that our products are sourced responsibly and produced under ethical conditions. 

By embedding these principles into our daily operations, Personalised Stubby Holders ensures that our products are crafted with respect for human rights, environmental integrity, and ethical business practices.
