Environmental and Social Compliance

• We are committed to protecting our natural environment and strive to incorporate sustainable practices throughout our business operations. Our efforts include:

• Reducing our use of natural resources and energy

• Minimising waste

• Lowering CO2 emissions, with ongoing monitoring of our carbon footprint

• Improving communication and education about Epic Promotions' sustainability initiatives and commitments to our stakeholders

Greenwashing involves exaggerating or providing misleading claims about how environmentally friendly a product or service is. At Epic Promotions, we prioritise making responsible environmental commitments that create real, measurable impact. We are committed to avoiding any exaggeration or misrepresentation regarding the environmental benefits of our products. All communication about our offerings will align with government regulations, ensuring a transparent and truthful representation of their environmental impact.

ACCC Guidelines

NZ Commerce Commission Guidelines

The FSC is a global organisation focused on preserving healthy and sustainable forests. Their certification outlines principles that ensure forestry practices are environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically sustainable.

​

Whenever possible, we strive to offer products that carry FSC certification. If FSC-certified options are not available, we request our suppliers to provide clear traceability of raw materials to confirm there is no involvement in illegal logging activities.

Epic Promotions has established dedicated resources, processes, and procedures to uphold our social compliance commitments, ensuring that our suppliers adhere to the ethical standards we require from all our business partners. Our ethical standards include:

​

• No forced labour

• No child labour

• No human trafficking, slavery, or coercion

• Implementation of robust health and safety practices

• Fair working hours, wages, and benefits

• Prohibition of discrimination

• Respect for freedom of association

• Zero tolerance for harassment or abuse of employees

• Adherence to anti-bribery policies

Providing a safe and healthy work environment for employees and contractors is a top priority for our business, especially given the scale of our warehouse and production operations. We have implemented comprehensive Health & Safety systems designed to ensure:

​

• A workplace that minimises risks to the health and safety of employees, contractors, and visitors

• Safe equipment and infrastructure

• Well-defined and secure systems of work

• Sufficient facilities to support the welfare of all workers on-site

To ensure our suppliers uphold the ethical standards we expect, we have established a Supplier Code of Conduct, which is shared with all our supply partners and monitored for compliance.

​

• We evaluate our suppliers and their factories to ensure ethical alignment, including a review of independent factory audits such as BSCI.

• Our management team conducts regular visits and assessments of our suppliers and their facilities to maintain high ethical standards.

As participants in an industry that sources manufactured goods from various countries, we acknowledge our responsibility to take a strong stance against slavery and human trafficking. In response to Australia's Modern Slavery Act, Epic Promotions has reinforced our commitment through the implementation of our Modern Slavery Policy.
