California Transparency in Supply Chain Act
California Transparency in Supply Chain Act
Introduction
EV8SOCAL.COM supports the goals of the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (“Act”) and strives to be a model example of human rights and fair labor practices throughout its business activities.
EV8SOCAL.COM chooses the best suppliers in its field – those who lead not only in terms of the quality of their products and services but also by way of their social and environmental approaches. To this end, the EV8SOCAL.COM chooses its suppliers based upon both their ethics and integrity in their business dealings, as well as the social and environmental principles by which they operate.
The implementation of the Act presents the opportunity for the EV8SOCAL.COM to reaffirm its commitment to enforcing measures that fight against slavery and human trafficking.
As a responsible corporate actor, the EV8SOCAL.COM has long since integrated standards of the Act into its daily business.
EV8SOCAL.COM’s actions in this area include the following:
Verification of Requirements for Suppliers
EV8SOCAL.COM has implemented the EV8SOCAL.COM Code of Good Conduct (“Code”) for its suppliers. The Code sets forth and establishes non-negotiable minimum standards for the EV8SOCAL.COM’s suppliers in the areas of health and safety, labor standards, business integrity and the environment. In addition, the EV8SOCAL.COM may conduct third-party supplier audits, described below, in order to verify that its suppliers are complying with these minimum standards.
More information can be found at: www.sa-intl.org and www.pactemondial.org , which set forth the standards which the EV8SOCAL.COM has incorporated into its Code.
Supplier Audits
EV8SOCAL.COM audits suppliers that, based upon an analysis of the volume of the supplier’s business and the risk of abuses in the country in which the supplier is located, pose a high risk of working condition violations. EV8SOCAL.COM announces the audit and then delegates the audit to a third party, in charge of ensuring that its suppliers are compliant with Social Accountability International’s SA8000 standards, an international standardized code of conduct for improving working conditions around the world, and are compliant with the Code.
Certification of Supplier Compliance
EV8SOCAL.COM requires its suppliers to sign and to adhere to the Code.
Maintaining Accountability
In the event the EV8SOCAL.COM becomes aware of any actions or conditions not in compliance with its Code, the EV8SOCAL.COM reserves the right to demand corrective measures.
EV8SOCAL.COM reserves the right to terminate an agreement with any supplier who does not comply with the Code.
Training to Company Employees
EV8SOCAL.COM employees worldwide have access to a special website which fully explains the commitments of the EV8SOCAL.COM, including anti-slavery and human trafficking measures.
Further, the EV8SOCAL.COM’s ethical charter clearly states that it is the company’s policy to uphold human rights in its supply chains. This charter has been translated into nine different languages and is communicated throughout the EV8SOCAL.COM.
EV8SOCAL.COM also performs audits of its suppliers to ensure that these fair labor principles are effectively applied.
EV8SOCAL.COM and its employees endeavor to respect the laws and regulation in all countries in which they operate, and conducts its business according to universal principles laid down by international agreements and standards. In particular, the EV8SOCAL.COM adheres to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which draws from a variety of legislative instruments, such as national and EU laws, international conventions from the Council of Europe, United Nations (UN) and International Labour Organisation (ILO) directives, and the United Nations Global Compact, a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption.
EV8SOCAL.COM will continue to evolve and adapt its policies and procedures to a changing world in order to reflect the company’s unwavering commitment to ethical business principles.
