Current Innovation in Agriculture Science (CIAS) Journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and social responsibility.

Our Commitment

CIAS Journal condemns all forms of modern slavery, including forced labor, human trafficking, child labor, and other forms of exploitation. We recognize that modern slavery is a global issue that requires collective action and collaboration across industries, governments, and civil society organizations to eradicate.

Our Approach

As a digital publication, CIAS Journal's operations primarily involve the management and dissemination of research content related to agricultural sciences. While our operations do not involve high-risk activities or direct employment of labor, we acknowledge the potential risks of modern slavery within our supply chains and the broader ecosystem in which we operate.

Supplier Due Diligence

CIAS Journal is committed to conducting due diligence on our suppliers and service providers to assess and mitigate the risks of modern slavery within our supply chains. We expect our suppliers and partners to adhere to the same principles of ethical conduct and social responsibility as outlined in this statement.

Policies and Procedures

CIAS Journal has implemented policies and procedures to prevent and address modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. These policies include:

1. Supplier Code of Conduct: We require all our suppliers and service providers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits the use of forced labor, child labor, and other forms of exploitation. Our Supplier Code of Conduct also emphasizes the importance of fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for human rights.

2. Employee Training and Awareness: We provide training and awareness programs to our employees to educate them about the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking and empower them to identify and report any concerns or suspicions.

3. Risk Assessment and Monitoring: We conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential areas of vulnerability within our operations and supply chains. We also monitor our suppliers and service providers to ensure compliance with our ethical standards and take appropriate action to address any violations.
