| California's Transparency in Supply Chain Act of 2010 |
| |
| Overview |
| |
On January 1, 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) went into effect in the State of California. This law was designed to increase the amount of information made available by manufacturers and retailers regarding their efforts (if any) to address the issue of slavery and human trafficking, thereby allowing consumers to make better, more informed choices regarding the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.
Wintec Industries, Inc. is dedicated to conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner. It is our expectation that our suppliers do the same.
|
|
| |
| Verification of Supply Chains |
Wintec strives to establish close working relationships with its suppliers. Wintec does not employ or rely on third parties to verify its product supply chains in order to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery.
|
|
| |
| Auditing of Supply Chains |
Wintec's conducts non-third party audits or investigations at any time in response to a possible violation by our direct suppliers of company standards for trafficking and slavery in supply chains.
|
|
| |
| Certification of Direct Suppliers |
By signing or accepting our purchasing contract or purchase order, each of Wintec's direct suppliers certifies it conducts business pursuant to all applicable local and national laws and its failure to do so is considered a breach of the agreement.
|
|
| |
| Management Training and Accountability |
In addition to the requirements placed on our vendors, Wintec communicates its commitment to elimination of forced labor to applicable employees in its own workforce. Wintec provides training for associates and management who work with our supply chains on the issues of slavery and human trafficking. Wintec will promptly address and remedy any circumstances of which it becomes aware of employees who fail to meet Wintec's standards regarding forced labor.
