Steps Taken to Prevent and Reduce the Risk of Forced Labour or Child Labour

Dong Phuong Group Partnership conducts an internal assessment of the risks of forced and child labour in our activities and supply chains.
Our businesses follow the Canada Labour Standards Regulations on the age and employment requirements for each job position in company.
For our Canadian suppliers, we only purchase goods from those who have business licenses. If it comes to our attention that the suppliers are engaged in Child labour or forced labour, we will stop selling the product.
For overseas suppliers, we sent out a questionnaire regarding child labour and forced labour to identify whether they hire child labour or forced labour. We also ask them to provide the documents if they have corporate policies in place for child labour and forced labour. If it comes to our attention that they engage in these practices, we will discontinue purchasing from them and also provide them with educational material on child labour and forced labour.

Remediation Measures

As Dong Phuong Group Partnership has not identified any forced labour or child labour in our activities and supply chains, we have not had to take any measures to remediate any forced or child labour or forced labour.

Training to Employees

We provide mandatory training for some employees by providing them with our company policy on Child and Forced Labour to read and review. This will contribute to providing confidence and prevent the risk of forced labour or child labour being used.

Further Improvement and Actions in Monitoring the Compliance

Management of Dong Phuong Group Partnership will keep addressing the risks of forced labour and child labour in our business and supply chains. We will continue to apply assessments and manage supply chains up to date to identify new and emerging threats. Therefore, our policy and management will commit to being reviewed annually to assess the effectiveness of existing strategies.
