Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
mini mioche has zero tolerance for modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking, in our own operations or anywhere in our supply chain.
That is the easy sentence to write. What follows is what we do to make it true.
What we mean
"Modern slavery" covers slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded labour, child labour, and human trafficking. Each of these is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights.
"Human trafficking" is the act of arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with the goal of exploiting them. The international standard reference is the Palermo Protocol, supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.
What we stand by
Our anti-slavery and anti-trafficking position is grounded in the international labour standards set by the International Labour Organization (ILO), a UN agency whose mandate is to advance social and economic justice through international labour standards. Specifically, we support the eight fundamental conventions identified in the ILO's 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work:
- Freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining
- The elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour
- The effective abolition of child labour
- The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation
These are the standards we expect of ourselves, every supplier we work with, and every supplier our suppliers work with.
Who this applies to
This policy applies to every person working for us or on our behalf, in any capacity. That includes:
- mini mioche employees at every level
- Directors and officers
- Agency workers, seconded workers, and volunteers
- Agents and contractors
- Suppliers and their sub-suppliers
We expect our direct suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same standard. The chain doesn’t end at our visibility line; it extends as far as the materials and labour go.
What we do
We don’t sign documents and walk away. We actively work to keep modern slavery out of our operations and supply chain.
Zero tolerance, no exceptions. We do not work with any organization that uses or facilitates modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. If we discover it in an existing relationship, we act on it.
Detection is everyone’s job. Preventing, detecting, and reporting modern slavery is the responsibility of every person working for us or on our behalf. No one is permitted to engage in, facilitate, or stay silent about anything that might breach this policy.
Risk-based contracting. We assess our supplier relationships for modern slavery risk and we keep that assessment under regular review. Where the risk warrants it, we include specific anti-slavery and anti-trafficking provisions in our contracts and require suppliers to confirm compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
Recruitment integrity. Where we use employment or recruitment agencies, or where our suppliers engage workers through third parties, we require those parties to confirm compliance with our Code of Conduct. The same standard travels with the worker, regardless of who hired them.
Audits where they’re warranted. As part of our ongoing due diligence, we assess whether supplier audits are appropriate and we conduct them when the risk profile justifies it.
Action when something’s wrong. If we find that an individual or organization working on our behalf has breached this policy, we act. The response ranges from working with the partner on remediation (when remediation is genuinely the best outcome for the people affected) all the way to terminating the relationship. The choice depends on what protects the people involved.
When something’s wrong
If you are an employee, supplier, partner, or community member and you have any reason to believe someone connected to mini mioche is involved in modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking, please tell us. You can reach out directly to your manager, our People team, our company’s legal counsel, or by email at hi@minimioche.com.
We take every report seriously. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith. Where appropriate, we will report to law enforcement.
Continuous improvement
This policy is not static. We commit to:
- Reviewing our supply chain risk picture every year.
- Updating this page within 30 days of any policy change.
- Answering specific questions about any aspect of this policy by email at hi@minimioche.com.
Why we publish this
Most brands either don’t have a policy or have one buried inside a sustainability PDF. We try to do the opposite. Our standards, our supplier expectations, and our remediation approach live in plain sight, including this page.
If you spot a gap, tell us. We would rather know.
people + planet + play > all ✌️
