Policies

Ethical Pro-Freedom Policy

Economic development can play a critical role in improving lives around the world and we passionately believe that only by maximising economic and political freedoms can the optimum environment be created for people to flourish.

We choose not work with governments or countries that pose a strategic threat to freedom and liberty. So, for example, we will not at the moment, entertain doing any business with Russia, Belarus, Iran, China and North Korea.

Social Value Policy

At Breeze Strategy, we’re deeply committed to driving economic development and inward investment that goes beyond mere numbers. Our mission is to foster thriving, inclusive communities where everyone has an opportunity to succeed. We believe that true economic growth is sustainable only when it’s paired with social progress. That’s why we integrate social and community value into every aspect of our work.

Our approach begins with listening. We engage with local communities to understand their unique needs, aspirations, and challenges. This collaborative approach ensures that our strategies are tailored to each community’s specific context, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment among local stakeholders.

One of our core principles is job creation. We prioritise inward investment projects that have the potential to generate meaningful employment opportunities, particularly for those facing barriers to entry into the workforce. By partnering with local businesses and organisations, we help create jobs that not only provide income but also build skills and confidence.

In addition to job creation, we focus on skills development and capacity building. This investment in human capital is crucial for long-term economic and social development.

Empowering underrepresented groups is another key aspect of our work. We strive to ensure that our projects are inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, or socio-economic background. By championing diversity and inclusion, we aim to create more equitable societies where everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

Transparency and accountability are fundamental to our approach. We believe in the importance of rigorous reviews and monitoring to assess the impact of our projects and ensure accountability to our clients and the communities we serve. Our monitoring mechanisms track key performance indicators and social outcomes, allowing us to continuously learn and improve.

Community engagement doesn’t end when a project is completed. We’re committed to long-term relationships with our clients and communities, providing ongoing support and guidance to ensure the sustainability of our initiatives. This commitment to lasting impact sets us apart and drives us to do better every day.

In conclusion, at Breeze Strategy, we’re more than just an economic development consultancy; we’re agents of positive change. Through our focus on job creation, skills development, diversity, and inclusion, we’re building economies that work for everyone. With our commitment to transparency, accountability, and long-term engagement, we’re ensuring that our impact is both meaningful and lasting. Together, we can create thriving, inclusive communities where economic growth and social progress go hand in hand.

MODERN SLAVERY POLICY POLICY STATEMENT

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implement and enforce effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or our supply chain. We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chain. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners. As part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude and we expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards. This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners. This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment and we may amend it at any time. 

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POLICY

The Managing Director has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery. Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy and are given any required training. 

COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY

The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue of suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business at the earliest possible stage. If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred or that it may occur you must notify your manager or report it in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible. 

COMMUNICATION AND AWARENESS OF POLICY 

Training on this policy, and on the risk our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chain will be given where needed. Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.

BREACHES OF THIS POLICY

Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct. We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
