Our Business
Rachel Rabbit White is a leading online platform in the niche of flowers, gardening, and the natural world. While we do not engage in manufacturing or production, we understand the responsibility we have in ensuring that our suppliers and partners uphold ethical standards.
Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains primarily involve the sourcing of products related to flowers, gardening, and nature-inspired products. We work with a diverse range of suppliers and partners to provide our readers and customers with high-quality products.
Our Commitment
We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our sphere of influence. This commitment includes:
- Supplier Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence on suppliers and partners to assess their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. We prioritize working with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices.
- Contractual Agreements: We include anti-slavery and human trafficking clauses in our contracts with suppliers, explicitly prohibiting any form of forced labor or exploitation.
- Employee Training: We provide training to our employees who are involved in procurement and supply chain management to raise awareness of modern slavery issues and to help identify and address any concerns.
- Whistleblower Policy: We have established a whistleblower policy that allows employees and stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery anonymously. Reports will be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action will be taken.
