Our Policies and Processes
Coast & Country Leisure are committed to maintaining and improving systems and processes in order to eliminate all forms of forced and compulsory labour within our supply chain and our business.
We achieve this through:
Raising Standards – continuously improving standards of labour provision and to raise labour standards beyond base compliance.
Promoting Growth – Raising awareness of labour providers’ contribution to supply chain efficiency through effective sourcing and supply of the workforce.
Responsibility to workers – Supporting labour providers and users to meet their legal and ethical responsibilities to the contingent workforce and to treat temporary and full time workers fairly and with respect.
Sustainable Supply – Facilitating the definition and application of fair pay and charge rates that enable business sustainability and do not foster worker exploitation and tax evasion.
Proportionate Regulation – Advocating proportionate regulation of labour provision that facilitates fair competition.
Sector Support – Championing work and careers in UK horological sector.
As part of Coast & Country Leisure’s efforts to monitor and reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking, we have adopted the following measures:
Annual checks of any recruitment agency websites we may use to ensure no issues have been raised against our labour suppliers; and
Annual due diligence checks on our labour suppliers.
As part of our due diligence process into slavery and human trafficking, the supplier process will incorporate a review of the controls undertaken by the supplier. The level of management control required for these will be continually monitored. We ensure that all our suppliers adhere to our ethical standards and anti-slavery policy. We enforce a strict code of compliance and do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains.
Our procedures are designed to:
Establish and assess areas of potential risk in our business and supply chains;
Monitor potential risk areas in our business and supply chains;
Reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains; and
Provide adequate protection for whistle blowers.
We plan to take further steps to increase our suppliers’ awareness of our policies to ensure our supply chain is compliant.
