California Transparency in Supply Chains Act

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act

Since January 1, 2012, businesses involved in manufacturing or selling goods in California must disclose their initiatives to combat forced labor and human trafficking, as mandated by the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657). This legislation was created to enhance public awareness of corporate measures aimed at eliminating unethical labor practices, empowering consumers to make informed decisions about the products they purchase and the companies they support.

Forced labor and human trafficking can take various forms, including child labor. BrandX strictly prohibits all forms of forced labor and child labor, reinforcing our dedication to human rights throughout our supply chain.

Our partnerships with vendors are built on principles of legality, efficiency, and fairness. We require our suppliers to comply with laws that ensure fair treatment of workers and the provision of safe and healthy working conditions. Vendors must formally affirm their adherence to these standards through written agreements, which we maintain for accountability.

Additionally, we retain the authority to mandate independent audits of our vendors and their associated factories to ensure compliance with legal labor standards. Any supplier that fails to meet our requirements risks the termination of our business relationship.
