To address the regulations of the
California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB
657):
1. Workrite Uniform Company
assesses the risk of human trafficking and slavery related
to the apparel supply chain. Risk assessment is performed
either internally or externally, or both.
2. Workrite Uniform Company
conducts code of conduct audits of direct suppliers. We have
developed and issued a code of conduct to our direct
suppliers. Direct suppliers are evaluated on their
compliance of our code through audits. Our audits are
generally announced with reserved right of unannounced
visits and are performed by either third party or internal
auditors, or both.
3. Workrite Uniform Company’s
purchasing agreements require all suppliers to comply with
applicable laws within the country of business,
international standards, and trade regulations regarding
human trafficking and slavery.
4. Workrite Uniform Company
maintains and rigorously enforces internal accountability
procedures for employees and contractors regarding company
standards in human trafficking and slavery. In the case of
non-compliance, Workrite Uniform Company reserves the right
to examine the specific situation and in conjunction with
the supplier develop a best possible strategy for
resolution. If cases of non-compliance are not resolved
within a timely manner, Workrite Uniform Company may
terminate the business relationship. While Workrite Uniform
Company wishes to aid in the resolution of incidences of
human trafficking and slavery within Workrite Uniform
Company’s supply chain, it is not possible to effectively
solve the issue of noncompliance without the cooperation of
the supplier.
5. Workrite Uniform Company
conducts internal training on Workrite Uniform Company’s
code of conduct to ensure the necessary participants in
supply chain management are knowledgeable and aware of the
issues and concerns surrounding the supply chain, including
human trafficking and slavery, with a particular focus on
mitigating risks. Workrite Uniform Company requires
employees involved in Workrite Uniform Company’s supply
chain to regularly participate in external training programs
and seminars on social compliance issues, including a
required course on the issues of human trafficking and
slavery conducted by the University of Delaware.
