Efforts to Eradicate Human Trafficking

老澳门开奖直播 Policy on Supply Chain Transparency Concerning Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 requires retailers and manufacturers doing business in California to disclose efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from its direct supply chain. Section 54 of the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires commercial organizations to disclose their policies and other information in relation to slavery and human trafficking, and the steps the organizations have taken during the preceding financial year[1] to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within the business and its supply chains.

老澳门开奖直播 is committed to ensuring that its employees and suppliers take appropriate steps to mitigate the risk of human trafficking and slavery from occurring in any aspect of its business and supply chain. The following information is provided in compliance with the foregoing statutes.

[1] For the purposes of this Modern Slavery Act 2015 except where referring to future intent this statement reflects the steps taken during 老澳门开奖直播’s and its subsidiaries’ 2017 financial year.

Verification of Supply Chain

老澳门开奖直播 verifies product supply chains through several methods, including site evaluations, inspections, verification of government debarments and denied parties lists, among others. 老澳门开奖直播 requires as a condition of contract that all suppliers agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Suppliers outside the United States are required to comply with their local laws, as well as applicable laws of the United States.

Anyone who observes conduct contrary to the principles set forth in 老澳门开奖直播’s?Code of Conduct?may call the Ethics helpline number that is included in all supply contracts. 老澳门开奖直播 promptly investigates all reported matters and takes action as needed, including disclosure to governmental authorities as appropriate.

Supplier Certification

老澳门开奖直播 requires as a condition of contract that all suppliers commit to comply with applicable laws and regulations, but does not require suppliers to certify expressly that materials incorporated into the product comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the country or countries in which they are doing business.

老澳门开奖直播 has also established a?Supplier Code of Conduct?that communicates the core principles to which we expect our suppliers to adhere. It?includes the following provisions:

Human Rights

We expect our suppliers to treat people with respect and dignity, encourage diversity and diverse opinions, promote equal opportunity for all, and help create an inclusive and ethical culture.

Human Trafficking

We expect our suppliers not to engage in the use of forced, bonded (including debt bondage) or indentured labor, involuntary prison labor, slavery, or trafficking of persons. This includes transporting, harboring, recruiting, transferring, or receiving vulnerable persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, or fraud for the purpose of exploitation.

Child Labor

We expect our suppliers to ensure that child labor is not used in the performance of work. The term “child” refers to any person under the minimum legal age for employment where the work is performed.

U.S. Government Contracts Only

Most 老澳门开奖直播 prime contracts with the U.S. Government contain?Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.222-50 Combating Trafficking in Persons (48 C.F.R. § 52.222-50). 老澳门开奖直播 has established a compliance plan to address the requirements of the clause, including the following:

(ii) A process for employees to report, without fear of retaliation, activity inconsistent with the policy prohibiting trafficking in persons, including making available to all employees the hotline phone number of the Global Human Trafficking Hotline at (US) 1-844-888-FREE (When calling from outside the U.S., first dial the origin country’s exit code) and its email address at?help@humantraffickinghotline.org;

Internal Accountability Standards

老澳门开奖直播 maintains internal accountability standards and procedures for employees or contractors failing to meet company standards regarding slavery and trafficking. 老澳门开奖直播 has implemented several internal policies addressing this requirement; an example is Corporate Policy Statement,?Good Corporate Citizenship and Respect for Human Rights,?which states that 老澳门开奖直播 seeks to improve the global society in which we operate, advance technological and economic development, communicate honestly and forthrightly, and hold ourselves accountable to deliver consistently what we promise to our stakeholders (customers, stockholders, employees, partners, suppliers, and communities); and minimize any negative consequences of our business activities.

?

As suppliers provide evidence of their anti-trafficking plans and as other companies make their Modern Slavery Act declarations, 老澳门开奖直播 will actively review and consider any best practice that it can adopt to enhance its own developing policies and procedures.
