Fair Work First Statement

At Arbikie Distillery, we are committed to promoting fair work practices as outlined by the Scottish Government's Fair Work First initiative. We believe in creating a workplace that is inclusive, respectful, and supportive of all employees. Our commitment to fair work is demonstrated through the following principles:

1.     Effective Voice: We ensure that all employees have a meaningful voice in the workplace. We encourage open communication and provide platforms for employees to share their ideas, concerns, and feedback.

2.     Opportunity: We are dedicated to providing equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of their background. We support career development and offer training programs to help employees grow and succeed.

3.     Security: We prioritize job security and strive to provide stable employment. We offer competitive salaries and benefits, including the real Living Wage, to ensure our employees feel valued and secure.

4.     Fulfilment: We aim to create a fulfilling work environment where employees can thrive. We recognize and celebrate achievements, and we support work-life balance to ensure overall well-being.

5.     Respect: We foster a culture of respect and dignity for all employees. We are committed to diversity and inclusion, and we actively work to eliminate discrimination in the workplace.

 

By adhering to these principles, we aim to contribute to a fairer and more equitable society. We are proud to support the Fair Work First initiative and will continue to uphold these values in all aspects of our business.

 

At Arbikie, we are committed to fostering a workplace and business environment where all individuals are treated with dignity, fairness and respect.

We recognise that diversity of experience, background, perspective and thought strengthens our business and enables us to create positive outcomes for our employees, customers, suppliers, partners and local communities.

We are committed to:

• Promoting a culture of respect, inclusion and belonging.
• Providing fair and equal opportunities in recruitment, development and progression.
• Seeking to identify and remove barriers that may disadvantage individuals or groups.
• Making employment and business decisions fairly and objectively.
• Encouraging diverse viewpoints and constructive dialogue.
• Listening to feedback from employees and stakeholders and using it to improve our practices.
• Creating an environment where people feel valued, supported and able to contribute their best work.
• Treating concerns relating to discrimination, harassment, exclusion or unfair treatment seriously and appropriately.

This commitment applies across our operations, our relationships with customers and suppliers, and our engagement with the communities in which we operate.

Responsibility for overseeing this commitment rests with the Arbikie Leadership Team, which will review our progress and continue to support a fair, respectful and inclusive business culture.
