At Similkameen Forest Products, we believe responsible business practices extend beyond the products we manufacture and the work we do within our own operations.
As part of the Gorman Group, we are committed to maintaining high standards of ethical conduct throughout our business and supply chain. This includes working to identify and prevent the risks of forced labour, child labour and other unethical practices.
We believe everyone has a role to play in building a responsible supply chain, from our employees and managers to the suppliers and business partners we work with.
Ethical sourcing begins with knowing where our products and materials come from and working with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible business practices.
We take a proactive approach to identifying and assessing potential risks within our operations and supply chain. Through due diligence, internal review and engagement with suppliers and partners, we work to identify concerns and address them appropriately.
Our goal is to build strong, transparent relationships with the businesses we work with and to promote ethical practices throughout the supply chain.
A responsible supply chain depends on informed people. We support awareness and education that helps employees and business partners understand their responsibilities, recognize potential concerns and know how to raise issues when they arise.
We encourage open communication and believe that concerns should be raised without fear of reprisal. By creating a culture of accountability, we can work together to maintain the standards expected of our organization.
We regularly review our policies, procedures and practices to help ensure they remain aligned with applicable legal requirements and evolving industry expectations. As our business and supply chains evolve, we will continue to strengthen our approach to identifying and managing potential risks.
