At Planticate Travels, we are committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and transparency across every area of our business.
As a digital travel platform, we recognize our responsibility to uphold ethical standards and comply with legislation such as the Modern Act.
This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that modern slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking have no place in our operations or content supply chains.
Our Structure and Approach
Planticate Travels is an online travel brand dedicated to providing practical travel advice, destination insights, and curated recommendations.
Our platform relies on the contributions of freelance writers, editors, photographers, and digital specialists who help shape the content we deliver to our readers.
We are not a manufacturer or physical goods supplier; however, we still take a proactive stance in protecting the rights and welfare of anyone who works with or for us, directly or indirectly.
Ethical Content Creation
All of our content is created by professionals who are recruited based on skill, experience, and passion for travel. We do not engage with content mills, exploitative platforms, or any operation that does not prioritize fair labor practices.
Contributors working with Planticate Travels are paid fairly, promptly, and in accordance with agreed terms.
Each partnership is governed by transparent contracts detailing payment schedules, expectations, and rights.
We believe that ethical treatment and creative freedom are essential to long-term partnerships and quality output.
Due Diligence and Fair Practice
We conduct background checks and professional reviews before onboarding any freelance contributor or third-party collaborator.
Every agreement includes clear clauses that ensure contributors are not subjected to exploitative conditions.
Our internal operations do not tolerate any form of coercion, unpaid labor, or human rights abuse.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and maintain internal oversight to ensure compliance at all levels of the business.
Risk Assessment and Controls
Although Planticate Travels is a digital-only operation with a relatively small team, we are aware that the risk of exploitation can still arise—especially within broader digital marketing, freelance, and global service industries.
To mitigate this, we:
- Regularly review our supplier and contractor policies.
- Require ethical declarations from new collaborators.
- Monitor any third-party partnerships for compliance with human rights standards.
- Act swiftly and decisively if we suspect a violation of ethical labor practices.
Commitment to Progress
Our goal is to constantly improve how we uphold ethical responsibility. As such, Planticate Travels will:
- Review this statement annually.
- Update internal processes to reflect new legislation or global best practices.
- Educate team members and collaborators on the importance of anti-slavery measures.
- Maintain open lines of communication for reporting concerns.
