OUTDOOR BRANDS, LLC DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA'S TRANSPARENCY IN SUPPLY CHAINS ACT 2010
Outdoor Brands, LLC is committed to conducting business in a legal, ethical
and responsible manner and supports efforts to eradicate slavery and
human trafficking.
As part of its commitment, Outdoor Brands. maintains a sourcing policy
containing evaluation and verification criteria for assessing certain vendors
in its supply chain for risks of human trafficking and slavery. Vendors
subject to the sourcing policy are assessed internally for compliance with all
national and local employment and safety laws and regulations.
We arrange for the announced and semi-announced audit of facilities of
selected vendors. Audits are performed by independent third-party auditors
who specialize in social responsibility audits.
Each vendor that is subject to the sourcing policy is required to sign an
agreement stating they are in compliance with the employment and social
standard and business ethic requirements upheld by the company. The
company may consider having suppliers provide an additional certification
stating that the materials incorporated into the products they provide to us
comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the
countries where they do business.
The company has a long standing practice of requiring in its model
purchase agreements that its vendors comply with employment standards,
including, but not limited to the prohibition of child labor and forced or
involuntary labor. Additionally, the company holds its employees and
vendors accountable through a Code of Conduct in the sourcing policy,
among other internal accountability standards and procedures.
The company is considering awareness training for its employees on human
trafficking and slavery, particularly with regard to mitigating risks within
the product supply chain. We encourage team members that are aware of
violations of the law or our standards or policies to notify their management
or use the company’s anonymous internal reporting hotline.
