At CBD Plus, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all aspects of our business operations. This includes a steadfast dedication to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms.

Our Business
CBD Plus is a reputable provider of premium CBD products, operating within the United Kingdom. We specialize in offering a diverse range of high-quality CBD oils, edibles, topicals, and supplements to our valued customers. We understand the importance of transparency and accountability in everything we do, which is why we are vigilant in our efforts to eradicate modern slavery from our operations.
Our Supply Chain
We recognize that modern slavery can lurk within complex global supply chains, often in industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation. As such, we are committed to ensuring that our suppliers and business partners share our values and adhere to ethical labor practices. We carefully vet all suppliers to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding labor rights and human trafficking.
Policies and Procedures
To combat modern slavery effectively, we have implemented robust policies and procedures designed to detect, prevent, and address any instances of exploitation or forced labor within our supply chain. These include:
Supplier Code of Conduct: We have established a Supplier Code of Conduct that outlines our expectations regarding labor standards, human rights, and ethical business practices. This document is communicated to all our suppliers, who are required to acknowledge and adhere to its principles.
Due Diligence Process: We conduct thorough due diligence on all potential suppliers before entering into any business agreements. This includes assessing their labor practices, conducting site visits where necessary, and engaging in ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance.
Employee Training and Awareness: We provide regular training to our employees to raise awareness of the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This empowers our team members to identify and report any concerns promptly.
Whistleblowing Policy: We maintain a confidential whistleblowing policy that encourages employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking without fear of retaliation. Reports are thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action is taken where necessary.
Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to combating modern slavery is an ongoing journey, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement in this area. We regularly review and update our policies and procedures to reflect evolving best practices and legal requirements. Furthermore, we engage with industry partners, NGOs, and government agencies to share knowledge and collaborate on initiatives aimed at eradicating modern slavery worldwide.
Conclusion
At CBD Plus, we are unwavering in our commitment to upholding human rights and ethical standards throughout our business operations. We believe that by working together with our suppliers, employees, and stakeholders, we can make a meaningful impact in the fight against modern slavery and create a more just and sustainable world for all.
