Modern Slavery & Supply Chain Transparency
Modern Slavery & Supply Chain Transparency Glazenya
Introduction
Glazenya is committed to ensuring that modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. We are a handcrafted art-jewelry brand working with small workshops and vetted suppliers. This statement outlines our current actions and our ongoing plan for improvement.
1) Our Business & Supply Chains
- Products: handcrafted art jewelry (materials may include glass, metal components, shells, gemstones).
- Markets: US, EU, UK, AU and other regions.
- Supply chain tiers: design & assembly (in-house/partner workshops), upstream raw materials (beads, findings, packaging).
2) Policies & Supplier Code
- Zero-tolerance policy on forced labour and child labour.
- All suppliers must comply with applicable labour laws and international standards (ILO).
- We require written acknowledgement of our Supplier Code and the right to terminate non-compliant relationships.
3) Risk Assessment & Due Diligence
- Country and material risk screening before onboarding suppliers.
- Basic KYC on key suppliers; sample purchase checks and documentation review.
- Escalation process: investigate, corrective action plan, and if unresolved, disengagement.
4) Supplier Verification, Audits & Certification
(Mirrors the California “five disclosures”: verification, audits, certification, accountability, training.)
- Verification: new suppliers screened for labour risks.
- Audits: risk-based desk reviews; on-site checks where feasible.
- Certification: suppliers confirm no forced/child labour in provided goods.
- Accountability: breach triggers corrective action or termination.
- Training: internal buyer team receives annual awareness training.
5) Training & Internal Accountability
- Annual training for sourcing/QA teams on forced-labour red flags.
- Management oversight and documented sign-off on key supplier approvals.
6) Effectiveness & KPIs
We measure the effectiveness of our actions against modern slavery and forced labour through the following indicators and 2025 targets:
- Supplier Code acknowledgement: 100% of active suppliers to sign our Code by 31 Dec 2025.
- Onboarding screening: 100% of new suppliers screened for modern-slavery risks before onboarding.
- Risk review coverage: at least 80% of key (tier-1) suppliers reviewed annually.
- Training: minimum 6 hours per relevant staff per year; 100% attendance tracked.
- Corrective actions: all identified issues remediated within 90 days or supplier disengaged; progress documented.
- Incident monitoring: record and report concerns; aim for zero substantiated incidents; responses within 10 business days.
- Continuous improvement: annual statement update with year-on-year results and next-year targets.
Note: As a growing brand, we will publish results against these KPIs in subsequent annual statements and adjust targets as our supplier base evolves.
