PBShop's Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

 

At PBShop, we are dedicated to upholding ethical practices across all our business activities and supply chains. We take a firm stance against modern slavery, which includes slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking—serious violations of human rights that exploit individuals for personal or commercial gain.

Our Promise to You

We believe in operating our business with integrity and transparency. Our customers can trust that the books and products we offer are sourced from suppliers who share our commitment to ethical standards. Modern slavery has no place in our operations, and we have made significant strides to ensure it is eliminated from our supply chains.

We have already introduced rigorous clauses in all our supplier contracts, explicitly prohibiting any form of forced, bonded, or trafficked labour. These measures ensure that our business partners—along with their suppliers—adhere to the highest ethical standards, safeguarding human rights at every stage.

Vigilance Across Our Supply Chains

We know that preventing modern slavery requires ongoing efforts. While the majority of our suppliers are based in low-risk areas like the UK, we continue to monitor and assess our supply chains to ensure that these standards are upheld. As part of this commitment, we prioritise sourcing from established suppliers who align with our values.

What We Expect from Our Partners

Our commitment to ethical practices extends to everyone we work with. We expect our suppliers, contractors, and business partners to operate with the same integrity and respect for human rights. This zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery is clearly communicated when we establish business relationships, and we ensure ongoing compliance through regular monitoring and review.

Reporting and Transparency

If you have any concerns or suspect any form of modern slavery within our operations or supply chains, we encourage you to speak up. You can report any issues confidentially via our whistleblowing channels, and we are committed to investigating and addressing all concerns promptly and thoroughly.

Continuous Improvement

At PBShop, we don't see this as a one-time effort. We are continuously improving our processes, expanding our knowledge, and adapting our practices to combat modern slavery. We believe that ethical business practices should be at the heart of everything we do, and we remain dedicated to creating a supply chain that respects and protects the dignity of all individuals.
