At Stubbe's, integrity is the foundation of everything we do. It is with pride that we share insights from our latest annual report, which underscores our unwavering commitment to ethical labor practices and sustainable sourcing. This document, which is also attached to this post, provides a detailed overview of our efforts to ensure that our operations and supply chain are free from forced and child labor.
A Proactive Approach to Ethical Compliance
As a leader in the construction industry, Stubbe's is dedicated not only to delivering high-quality products but also to ensuring that every aspect of our operation respects human dignity and the laws designed to protect it. Our report outlines the comprehensive measures we've taken over the past year to align with the Canadian "Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act."
Highlights from the Report:
- Rigorous Supplier Standards: We maintain a robust relationship with suppliers predominantly from Canada, the USA, and Western Europe—regions with stringent labor laws. This strategic choice minimizes the risk of encountering unethical labor practices in our supply chain.
- Local Sourcing Initiatives: Stubbe's prioritizes sourcing materials and supplies locally whenever possible. This not only supports our local economies but also reduces our exposure to regions where forced and child labor risks might be higher. When local sourcing isn't feasible, we turn to trusted sources in Western Europe before considering other options.
- Developing Policies and Training: Recognizing the importance of continual improvement, we are in the process of drafting enhanced policies and training programs. These initiatives aim to ensure all team members are knowledgeable and vigilant in preventing unethical labor practices.
Our Impact and Effectiveness
Our strategy focuses heavily on local sourcing and maintaining a high standard of supplier conduct, significantly reducing potential risks. The effectiveness of our approach has been demonstrated by the absence of any forced or child labor issues within our operations and primary supply chains.
Looking Forward
Stubbe's is not content to simply comply with legal standards. We are committed to being a sector leader in ethical practices. As we move forward, we will continue to refine our policies, engage with our suppliers, and ensure our team members are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to uphold our high standards.
