OUR COMPANY’S COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL AND
RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT

Get Smart Promotional Products and Unipromo are members of both the Australasia Promotional Products Association (APPA) and the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI). We are committed to honouring and abiding by the Ethical
and Responsible Conduct Codes of both these Associations.

Get Smart Promotional Products and Unipromo believe we must not only meet the expectations of our customers and consumers, we must exceed those expectations. To that end, we have adopted standards for the safety, quality and integrity of our products and processes and we are committed to respecting the rights of individuals and protecting the environment. We are dedicated to complying with all applicable regulations and laws and to conduct business in an ethical and responsible manner.

We also meet with our suppliers on a regular basis, typically 2-3 times per year and have had numerous discussions on ensuring they are complying with Ethical Sourcing and Modern Slavery policies. We require updated information from all key suppliers and keep a library of these on file as these documents are regularly used for our major client submissions and Tender responses. Members of our senior management team have also visited some of the factories in China to inspect manufacturing processing and to assess any modern slavery risks.
