California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010
On 30 September 2010, California Senate Bill 657, also known as the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (the "Supply Chains Act"), was signed into law and codified in California Civil Code Section 1714.43 and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 19547.5. The Supply Chains Act requires retailers and manufacturers doing business in California, and turning over more than $100 million in worldwide sales, to publicly disclose what steps they've taken to eliminate slavery and human trafficking from their Supply and Distribution Chains. In accordance with the requirements set out in the Supply Chains Act, Radio Systems Corporation ("Radio Systems") provides the following disclosures that discuss our efforts to combat slavery and human trafficking in our supply and distribution chains.
- Verification. Radio Systems requires disclosures from all suppliers about Sustainability and Ethical Human Rights practices. Radio Systems carries out due diligence to track the chain of custody for all its electronic products from their point of origin at the raw materials stage of the supply chain through transfer and production to the end product stage.
- Audits. Radio Systems conducts internal as well as independent external audits of its suppliers to evaluate compliance with company standards for Sustainability and Ethical Human Rights practices which occur at minimum on an annual basis.
- Certify. Radio Systems requires all suppliers to certify regularly that the materials included in its products comply with the laws about human trafficking and forced labour of the countries where it operates.
- Internal Accountability. Radio Systems maintains standards and procedures for employees, contractors, or suppliers who fail to meet company standards regarding Sustainability and Ethical Human Rights practices. Radio Systems' standards and procedures address labour standards to prohibit all forms of human trafficking and forced labour. These policies are implemented by Radio Systems' due diligence process.
- Training. Radio Systems is working to train all responsible supply chain employees and management on human trafficking and slavery, with particular training in respect to mitigating risks within the supply chain.
In accordance with the Supply Chains Act, Radio Systems Corporation is dedicated to continuing the expansion of our standards and are taking various measures to improve our policies, procedures, and regulations aimed at combatting slavery and human trafficking.
