CA Transparency Supply Chains Act
California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 Statement
IMC Global, LLC
IMC Global, LLC (“Intermix” or the “Company”) is committed to conducting its business in an ethical, legal and moral manner throughout the world. Intermix further expects its vendors and suppliers (collectively, its “Vendors”) to share this same commitment. Accordingly, Intermix has taken certain steps to verify that its Vendors are meeting these expectations.
Intermix’s Global Human Rights Code of Business Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) sets forth the Company’s guiding principles with respect to these matters. Among other things, the Code of Conduct asserts that each Vendor comply with all applicable laws, adhere to stated fundamental ethical and moral principles, use environmentally sound manufacturing practices, and treat employees fairly and respectfully. The Code of Conduct also states that use of child labor, any type of forced labor, or any act that would restrict employees’ freedom of movement is impermissible. Under the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010, we make the following disclosures:
Certification
As a condition to Intermix’s agreement to do business with a Vendor, such Vendor is required to agree in writing to the Code of Conduct. As part of the Code of Conduct, the Vendor acknowledges that the business contacts and companies with whom the Vendor does business likewise will abide by such principles, and that Intermix is relying on assurances by Vendor that all products sourced, manufactured and delivered to Intermix is in compliance with these requirements.
Verification
Intermix expects its Vendors to comply with applicable laws and the Code of Conduct per their written agreement to do so. Beyond that, the Company does not currently engage in verification of product supply chains to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery.
Audits
The Company does not currently conduct audits of Vendors to evaluate compliance with its Code of Conduct.
Internal Accountability Standards
Other than the Code of Conduct, which itself requires Vendors’ strict adherence to the standards set forth therein, including those regarding slavery and trafficking, the Company does not maintain separate internal accountability standards and procedures for employees or contractors failing to meet any principle stated in the Code of Conduct.
Training
The Company does not currently conduct training on human trafficking and slavery to employees and management who have direct responsibility for supply chain management, including with respect to mitigating risks within the product supply chain.
