Statement on Supplier Selection and Human Resources Standards
Company: Atenai London Limited
Subject: Human Rights, Social Compliance, and Ethical Labour Rationale for Selecting Hisida (Xuzhou) Technology Co., Ltd
Atenai London maintains a zero-tolerance policy for human rights violations, unsafe working conditions, and exploitative labour practices across all tiers of our global supply chain. In selecting Hisida (Xuzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. as our primary packaging manufacturing partner in China, human resources (HR) ethics and social governance were treated as primary selection criteria alongside technical capabilities.
1. Supplier Selection Rationale: Human Resources Focus
While numerous manufacturing facilities in Asia offer packaging production, Atenai London specifically selected Hisida (Xuzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. due to their demonstrated commitment to fair employment practices, worker welfare, and verifiable workplace standards that align with international labour frameworks.
Hisida (Xuzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. stood out from alternative suppliers based on the following key HR and social compliance factors:
A. Verified Fair Wages and Working Hours
Standard Met: Hisida operates in full compliance with local labour laws and international standards regarding fair compensation, maximum working hour limits, and mandatory rest periods.
Supplier Comparison: Unlike facilities that rely on excessive or forced overtime to meet production quotas, Hisida maintains structured shift systems, clear overtime compensation policies, and transparent payroll records to prevent worker burnout and exploitation.
B. Strict Non-Discrimination and Zero Child/Forced Labour Commitments
Standard Met: Hisida maintains strict age-verification hiring protocols to prevent any risk of child labour or forced/bonded labour within their workforce or immediate sub-tier suppliers.
Supplier Comparison: The facility enforces documented anti-discrimination policies across recruitment, promotion, and daily operations, promoting equal opportunity regardless of gender, regional background, or socio-economic status.
C. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Excellence
Standard Met: The production environment at Hisida incorporates robust safety infrastructure, including clear emergency egress routes, personal protective equipment (PPE) mandates, machine safeguarding, and well-maintained climate control.
Supplier Comparison: Many alternative facilities lag behind in worker health safeguards. Hisida invests actively in workplace ergonomics, routine safety training, and clean-air filtration systems across their moulding and assembly areas.
D. Worker Welfare and Communication Frameworks
Standard Met: Hisida fosters a constructive workplace culture by providing safe, hygienic amenities, dedicated dining facilities, and clear grievance mechanisms that allow employees to voice concerns without fear of retaliation.
Supplier Comparison: Atenai London prioritizes suppliers where workforce feedback is formally integrated into operational management, leading to lower employee turnover and higher overall manufacturing quality.
2. Governance and Continuous Supply Chain Due Diligence
Atenai London’s partnership with Hisida (Xuzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. is conditional upon continuous compliance with international frameworks, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the ILO Fundamental Principles at Work.
To ensure these HR standards remain upheld:
Auditing: Hisida is subject to periodic social and labour audits evaluating employment contracts, health and safety records, payroll data, and facility conditions.
Modern Slavery Compliance: Atenai London confirms that no modern slavery, debt bondage, human trafficking, or uncompensated labour is tolerated within Hisida’s operations or supply lines.
By partnering with Hisida (Xuzhou) Technology Co., Ltd., Atenai London ensures that our packaging is manufactured under ethical, safe, and humane working conditions that uphold the human rights of every worker involved in our production process.
