Protecting Human Rights in Every Uniform We Supply

Introduction
At Uniforms.com.au, we're all about doing business the right way – ethically and responsibly. We totally get that modern slavery and human trafficking are huge, serious problems, and we know it's our job to make sure these awful practices don't sneak into our supply chains or any part of our operations. This commitment is central to our modern slavery statement.

Our Understanding of Modern Slavery
When we talk about modern slavery, we're talking about situations where people are exploited and can't just leave because of threats, bullying, violence, lies, or someone in power taking advantage. This includes things like forced labour, human trafficking, being trapped by debt, servitude, and the absolute worst forms of child labour. We firmly believe that no worker, anywhere, should ever have to experience such exploitation.

Our Business and Supply Chain
Uniforms.com.au provides uniforms, workwear, and promotional items all over Australia. Our supply chains involve lots of different connections, from local and international manufacturers and fabric mills to logistics companies that get everything where it needs to go. We know that there can be risks of modern slavery, especially in industries like textiles and clothing manufacturing, where vulnerable people are often employed. Our slavery statement addresses how we navigate these complex relationships.

Our Commitment
We're really serious about:

• Being totally open and clear about how we manage our supply chain practices.

• Building strong, trustworthy relationships with suppliers who share our values and commit to fair labour standards. This ensures that every uniform we supply has an ethical origin.

• Constantly checking and reviewing what our suppliers are doing to spot and reduce any risks of modern slavery. This proactive monitoring is key to our modern slavery statement.

• Encouraging honest conversations with our suppliers to make sure everyone is treated fairly, has safe working conditions, and their human rights are respected.

Managing Risk
We get that risks can pop up in complicated global supply chains, especially when migrant, temporary, or low-skilled workers are involved. To keep these risks in check, we:

• Do thorough checks on all new suppliers, making sure we only work with partners who clearly show they operate ethically.

• Include strict rules in our contracts that demand compliance with all labour and human rights standards, reinforcing our modern slavery statement.

• Regularly review how our suppliers are performing and jump on any issues that come up right away.

• Keep up-to-date with the latest modern slavery laws and the best practices out there.

Our Responsibility
This modern slavery statement really shows how committed we are to seeing clearly throughout our supply chain and making sure everyone connected to our business is treated with respect, fairness, and dignity. We're always working to improve our efforts to fight modern slavery and ensure our values are upheld in every single thing we do.
