Approach To Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery is the severe exploitation of other people for personal or commercial gain. Modern Slavery can take many forms, including; human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, descent-based Slavery and child slavery, with an estimated 40 million people currently experiencing modern Slavery globally.

Bomcafé is committed to eradicating modern Slavery within its business operations and supply chain, in line with its vision and commitments to vibrant and prosperous communities.

Our Approach To Respecting Human Rights

Our activities, directly and indirectly, affect vast numbers of people. We are aware of the responsibilities resulting in this global impact and fully accept our responsibility to ensure respect for human rights in our activities worldwide. For us, this is a core element of responsible business conduct and, therefore, an integral part of our “Value to Society “concept.

Human Rights And Our Supply Chain

Respecting human rights is central to our values and the way we operate – wherever we operate.

We work to prevent and address human rights harm through our business relationships. We do this by pre-screening potential business partners on their human rights records before we engage them and requiring suppliers (including contractors and other agents) to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which necessitates respect for human rights.

Our standard contractual terms also require suppliers (including contractors and other agents) to take reasonable steps to prevent and address modern slavery in their supply chain and grant us the right to audit our suppliers for compliance against these requirements.

Consistent with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we are committed to respecting all internationally recognised human rights, including acknowledging and respecting Indigenous peoples’ connections to lands and waters.

We also recognise the importance of addressing human rights risks in our business relationships, from suppliers, affiliates and customers to joint venture partners. We, therefore, look for ways to help our business partners respect human rights in line with international standards. At our non-managed operations, this may include best practice sharing around complaints handling, discussing human rights issues at joint management meetings and making our experts available to build the capacity of operational employees.

Complaints, Disputes & Grievances

Talking to our stakeholders and getting feedback, including complaints, is a vital part of our approach to respecting human rights. It helps us to provide effective remedies where we identify we have caused or contributed to the harm, improve the way we run our business operations, and is also a crucial part of understanding systemic issues as part of our human rights due diligence process.

Our Values & Attitude

“We respect every individual’s dignity, privacy, and personal rights. Accordingly, we work with individuals of various ethnic backgrounds, cultures, religions, ages, disabilities, races, sexual identity, world view, and gender.” The principle is firmly anchored in our Code of Conduct. They set forth the fundamental principles and rules governing how we act within our company and about our partners and the general public. ” – Luis De Sousa, The Founder & Managing Director.

We are committed to leading the evolution of our industry to be truly sustainable – environmentally, socially and economically. This is fundamental to our vision to create products that enhance the health and well-being of people today and for generations to come.
