ETHICAL PURCHASING POLICY

 General

Our Ethical Purchasing Policy is to seek to purchase goods and services which are produced and delivered under conditions that do not abuse or exploit any persons or the environment. These considerations form part of the evaluation and selection criteria for companies being included on our Preferred Supplier list.

Purpose
The purpose of the policy is to promote good labour standards in our supply chain of goods and services which also protect the SB Security Solutions Limited reputation.

It is based largely on the agreement of suppliers to the following SBS principles.

  • Working conditions
  • Forced Labour & Freedom of Association
  • Working Hours
  • Disciplinary Practices
  • Discrimination & Abuse
  • Fair Pay & Minimum Wages
  • Anti-corruption & Discrimination
  • Child Labour is eliminated
  • Environment

Working Conditions
A healthy and safe working environment is provided for employees, overseen by a senior manager responsible for compliance and monitoring. Ensuring employees have the necessary training, information and free health and safety equipment in the workplace. Provide comfortable and hygienic working conditions, including access to clean toilet facilities, drinkable water and, if applicable, sanitary facilities for food storage. Where an employer provides accommodation, it shall be clean, safe and meet the basic needs of employees. Appropriate health and safety information and training is provided to employees.

Forced Labour & Freedom of Association

Forced, bonded or compulsory labour is not used, and employees are free to leave their employment after reasonable notice. Employees are not required to lodge deposits of money or identity papers with their employer. As far as any relevant laws allow, all employees are free to join or not to join trade unions or similar external representative organisations.

Working Hours

Comply with national and international laws or industry standards on employee working hours, whichever affords greater protection.

Disciplinary Practises

We will provide clear, easily understood disciplinary, grievance and appeal procedures that are lawful and appropriate. Any disciplinary measures should be recorded and suppliers should not seek to deprive employees of their legal or contractual rights.

 Discrimination & Abuse                                                                                                                      Negative discrimination including racial or sexual discrimination is prohibited. Employees are treated with respect and dignity. Physical or verbal abuse or other harassment and any threats or other forms of intimidation are prohibited.
Fair Pay & Minimum Wages
Employees understand their employment conditions and fair and reasonable pay, terms and conditions are provided. Wages should always be high enough to meet basic needs and to provide some discretionary income.

Anti-corruption & Discrimination

No form of bribery, including improper offers for payments to or from employees, or organisations, is tolerated. We will practice no discrimination in hiring, compensation, training, promotion, termination or retirement either directly or indirectly.

 Child Labour is eliminated
Children should have the opportunity to be in full-time education and not be compelled to undertake activities that can affect their physical and/or mental development. No person is employed who is below the minimum legal age for employment. Children (persons under 18 years) are not employed for any night or hazardous work, or work that is inconsistent with the child’s personal development. Should any instance of child labour be identified, we would work closely with our suppliers to develop a sensitive and sustainable solution that puts the welfare of the child first.

 Environment

Processes are in place to actively improve the efficiency with which finite resources (such as energy, water and raw materials) are used. Appropriate management, operational and technical controls are in place to minimise the release of harmful emissions to the environment.

Recognise official regulation and inspection of workplace standards, and the interests of legitimate trades unions and other representative organisations. Seek arbitration in the case of unresolved disputes. Ensure all current labour standards are implemented & being adhered to.

 Communication
We will communicate this policy both internally (on induction) and externally on our company website.
