Procurement Policy

Indigenous Procurement

At iSonic Digital, we are committed to supporting Indigenous procurement as part of our broader social responsibility initiatives. Here’s how we contribute:

Partnering with Indigenous Businesses

We actively seek out partnerships with Indigenous-owned businesses for various aspects of our operations. By collaborating with Indigenous entrepreneurs, we foster economic growth within Indigenous communities and promote diversity in our supply chain.

Purchasing Products and Services

Whenever feasible, we prioritise sourcing products and services from Indigenous businesses to not only help sustain Indigenous enterprises but also ensure that our procurement practices align with principles of social inclusion and economic empowerment.

Employment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples

We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, and this includes recruiting and employing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. By providing employment opportunities, we contribute to closing the gap in Indigenous employment outcomes and support the professional development of Indigenous individuals.

Mentoring Indigenous Business Owners

As part of our commitment to supporting Indigenous entrepreneurship, we offer training and support programs tailored specifically for business owners. Through these programs, we provide guidance, advice, and resources to help Indigenous entrepreneurs succeed in the digital marketing and web design landscape.

By implementing these initiatives, iSonic Digital aims to make a positive impact on Indigenous communities and contribute to the broader goal of reconciliation and economic empowerment.

Modern Slavery

At iSonic Digital, we take the issue of modern slavery very seriously and are committed to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from any form of exploitation. Here’s how we address modern slavery within our company and any entities we own or control:

Company Structure, Operation, and Supply Chains

iSonic Digital operates as a digital marketing and web design agency with a network of suppliers and partners. Our supply chains encompass various goods and services necessary for our operations, including technology, server management, marketing materials, and office IT supplies.

Risk Assessment & Management

Recognising the potential risk of modern slavery practices within our operations and supply chains, we conduct thorough risk assessments to identify any vulnerabilities. This includes assessing the countries of operation, industries involved, and the nature of our relationships with suppliers and partners.

To address the risks identified, we have implemented robust due diligence processes. This includes conducting supplier assessments, reviewing contractual agreements, and engaging in dialogue with suppliers and employees to ensure compliance with ethical standards. Additionally, we provide training to our employees to raise awareness of modern slavery issues and reporting mechanisms.

Effectiveness Assessment

We regularly review and evaluate the effectiveness of our actions to address modern slavery risks. This involves monitoring key performance indicators, conducting internal audits, and engaging with stakeholders to gather feedback on our efforts. If there are any identified gaps or shortcomings found, these are promptly addressed through remediation processes.

Through these comprehensive measures, iSonic Digital is committed to preventing and addressing modern slavery practices within our operations and supply chains, safeguarding the rights and dignity of all individuals involved.

Environmentally Sustainable Procurement

At iSonic Digital, we are dedicated to supporting environmentally sustainable procurement practices as part of our commitment to corporate social responsibility. Here’s how we contribute to reducing negative environmental impacts and promoting nature-positive outcomes:

Reducing Environmental Impacts

We actively seek to reduce our environmental footprint by implementing measures to minimise energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation across all aspects of our operations. This includes promoting paperless workflows, optimising energy-efficient technologies, utilising cloud-based server management systems and implementing recycling programs in our offices.

Use of Renewable and Recycled Resources

To lessen our reliance on finite resources and to minimise waste, we prioritise the use of renewable and recycled resources. This includes sourcing eco-friendly office supplies and recycled paper products, and investing in energy-efficient equipment and technologies.

Circular Economy Principles

iSonic Digital is committed to supporting circular economy principles by prolonging the life cycle of products and materials through reuse, refurbishment, and recycling. We actively explore opportunities to repurpose materials, extend product lifespans, and facilitate the return and recycling of end-of-life products.

By incorporating these practices into our procurement processes, iSonic Digital aims to contribute to a more sustainable future by minimising environmental impacts, conserving resources, and promoting nature-positive outcomes.
