Responsible Sourcing Policy

 

Business Principles  

Maple Herbs Private Limited confirms that we conduct our operations with honesty, integrity and ethics. We clearly voice our opposition to forced and child labour and do not allow the same in any of our warehouses and fulfillment centers around the world. We want to provide our customers with quality products free from the stain of slavery and human trafficking.

 

Vendor or Supplier Compliance  

Maple Herbs Private Limited assures responsible practices in our supply chain. Our Responsible Sourcing Policy (“RSP”), which is accepted by our suppliers, helps to implement this commitment and establishes non-negotiable minimum standards for our suppliers in the areas of product authenticity, product life validity, hygiene and safety, sustainability and reducing environmental impact. Our RSP requires that our direct suppliers comply with all the law and regulations in the countries within which the supplier operates. The RSP also contains the benchmarks expected of our suppliers relating to all of the International Labour Organization’s Fundamental Principles. Maple Herbs Private Limited may appoint third party auditors to investigate any reported non-conformity made in good faith and discuss the finding with the supplier. If remediation is required, the supplier will be expected to coordinate with us and implement a corrective action plan and timeline to effectively and promptly resolve the RSP non-conformity. Maple Herbs Private Limited also reserves the right to terminate an agreement with any supplier who does not comply with our RSP.

 

Workforce Training  

Training and knowledge on our Business Principles is provided to our workforce on a regular basis, to fulfill our commitment of fair business practices and elimination of forced labor, so as to maintain a healthy and fair working environment.

Our Business Principles and Policies will continue to evolve and adapt to an ever changing world. It will continue to have practical value in our day to day business and Maple Herbs Private Limited strives to ensure that its employees follow these principles in substance and spirit.
