As of January 1, 2012, many companies manufacturing or selling products in the state of California are required to disclose their efforts to address the issue of forced labor and human trafficking, pursuant to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657). This law was designed to increase the amount of information made available by companies regarding efforts to eradicate forced labor and human trafficking, thereby allowing consumers to make better, more informed choices about the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.
Forced labor and human trafficking can take many forms, including child labor. HerWellness40® & Partners has a zero-tolerance policy for both forced labor and child labor, and we are committed to ensuring that our supply chain reflects our respect for human rights.
Our relationships with vendors are based on lawful, efficient, and fair practices. We expect our vendors to obey the laws that require them to treat workers fairly and provide a safe and healthy work environment. We require our vendors to confirm in writing — via a vendor agreement — that they, and the facilities they use, conform to these standards. We maintain a file of these agreements.
We also reserve the right to require third-party audits of our vendors and the facilities they use, to verify each supplier's compliance with applicable laws. We reserve the right to terminate the relationship with any vendor who fails to comply with our requirements.
