Human Right Statements
Statement Against Modern-Day Slavery and Child Labor
At Tiblon Commodities, we stand united against all forms of modern-day slavery and child labor, recognizing them as fundamental violations of human dignity and human rights. In an interconnected world where global trade forms the backbone of many industries, the responsibility to ensure ethical practices lies heavily on companies like ours. We take this responsibility seriously and are unwavering in our commitment to preventing exploitation in any form within our operations and supply chain.
Modern-day slavery and child labor are systemic issues that affect millions of people worldwide, often hidden within the complexities of global supply chains. As a company deeply embedded in the trade of soft commodities, we understand the risks and challenges associated with these practices. This is why we go beyond compliance, taking a proactive approach to identify, address, and eliminate any potential links to exploitation in our business.
Our Comprehensive Approach
1. Supplier Accountability and Standards::
At Tiblon Commodities, we only work with suppliers who share our values of integrity and respect for human rights. Every partner must comply with our strict Supplier Code of Conduct, which explicitly forbids the use of forced labor, child labor, or any form of exploitation. This code is not just a document—it is a foundational part of our partnerships, and compliance is regularly monitored.
2. Rigorous Due Diligence and Auditing:
Identifying and addressing risks in the supply chain requires ongoing vigilance. We conduct thorough due diligence for all suppliers and logistics partners, including background checks, certifications, and periodic site audits. These audits are designed to uncover any unethical practices, with immediate actions taken against any violations, including terminating non-compliant relationships.
3. Awareness, Training, and Capacity Building:
Knowledge is one of the most effective tools against exploitation. We provide comprehensive training programs for our employees, suppliers, and partners to help them identify risks of modern-day slavery and child labor within their operations. This training includes understanding the subtle signs of exploitation and the actions required to report and address them.
4. Transparency and Open Communication:
Transparency is a cornerstone of our fight against exploitation. We are committed to maintaining open communication with our clients, partners, and stakeholders about our efforts to combat modern slavery and child labor. Through detailed reporting and regular updates, we ensure our practices remain visible and accountable.
5. Collaborative Action and Advocacy:
The battle against modern-day slavery cannot be won in isolation. Tiblon Commodities actively collaborates with industry organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and policymakers to promote systemic change. By working together with these groups, we advocate for stronger regulations, increased accountability, and global awareness of exploitation within trade and supply chains.
6. Investing in Ethical Solutions:
We invest in tools, technologies, and partnerships that help monitor and improve the transparency of our supply chain. From blockchain for traceable sourcing to partnerships with ethical auditing firms, we are committed to leveraging innovation in the fight against exploitation.
Building a Better Future
Tiblon Commodities envisions a world where global trade operates on the principles of fairness, respect, and shared prosperity. In this vision, no child is forced to work instead of going to school, no individual is subjected to exploitation, and every stakeholder in the supply chain is treated with dignity.
Our efforts go beyond addressing immediate risks. We actively support initiatives that uplift communities connected to our supply chain, ensuring they have access to fair wages, education, and sustainable livelihoods. By empowering these communities, we address the root causes of exploitation and build a more equitable and sustainable trade ecosystem.
We believe the future of business lies in ethical practices that prioritize people as much as profit. Tiblon Commodities is committed to leading this change—not just for compliance, but because it is the right thing to do. Through vigilance, action, and collaboration, we aim to create lasting impact and pave the way for a future free of exploitation.
