Recruitment Process
B&B follows a rigorous recruitment process led by an accredited human resource professional. We ensure that our workers are recruited voluntarily by posting job openings on publicly accessible platforms, allowing candidates to apply without any restrictions. Furthermore, we conduct interviews for all available positions and prioritize direct employment rather than relying on agency workers. In the rare instances that we are required to partner with employment agencies, such agencies are well-established service providers located and operating in Canada that exercise their activities in accordance with human rights. As of the date of this report, B&B does not employ foreign workers.
Employee Training
At B&B, we are strongly committed to acting ethically and with integrity and we expect the same of our staff. We provide many resources to our workforce, including employee manuals, a Sustainability Policy and a Code of Ethics, to which our employees can refer to guide their decisions and ensure they align with our values. The members of the procurement team also receive training on our policies and procedures with respect to forced labour and child labour, including a short training video explaining the supplier onboarding process and the escalation steps, as applicable.
Sustainability Policy
B&B is committed to doing business in a way that meets the needs of the present while contributing to an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable future, which is why we recently adopted a Sustainability Policy. Our Sustainability Policy highlights our commitment to respect human rights, including by: • providing a healthy, safe and respectful working environment; • setting individual diversity, equity and inclusion goals to foster diverse representation and an inclusive environment within our workforce, executives and board of directors, fostering an inclusive, diverse and equitable corporate culture, and combating discrimination and prejudice in all its forms by deploying and supporting comprehensive programs to these ends; • ensuring that employment-related decisions are free from discrimination on grounds of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, disability, religious beliefs, nationality and political beliefs; • ensuring an environment of psychological security in which people have the freedom to be themselves; • promoting healthy lifestyle habits and physical and mental wellbeing in employees and communities; and • supporting our local communities.
