Solvancy LLC understands the vital role businesses play in combating modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically prohibit all forms of these violations throughout our global operations and complex supply chains, serving diverse industries with a vast array of products and services. We are committed to ethical sourcing, fair labor practices, and protecting workers against any labor rights violation.
This statement, aligned with applicable legislation, details the steps Solvancy has taken to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business or supply chains.
Commitment to Ethical Sourcing and Supply Chains:
- Supplier Selection: We actively engage in supplier due diligence, prioritizing partners who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and transparency. Suppliers with known human trafficking connections are excluded from our network.
- Contractual Obligations: Our supplier agreements include clauses requiring adherence to our Code of Conduct and anti-human trafficking policies, granting us inspection rights and access to relevant sourcing and chain of custody information.
- Risk Assessments and Monitoring: We conduct regular risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities within our supply chains, focusing on high-risk regions and industries.
Employee Engagement and Training:
- Mandatory Reporting Program: We maintain a robust mandatory reporting program where employees and stakeholders can anonymously report any concerns of potential ethical or compliance violations, including suspected or known human trafficking activities. Failure to report such concerns constitutes grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contracts.
- Training and Awareness: We provide regular training to relevant employees on slavery and human trafficking risks, equipping them to identify suspicious activities and understand reporting procedures. We are committed to expanding the scope and frequency of employee training over time.
Collaboration and Continuous Improvement:
- Industry Partnerships: We actively engage with relevant organizations and partners specializing in combating human trafficking to stay informed about evolving risks and best practices.
- Open Communication and Transparency: We maintain open communication channels with our suppliers and stakeholders, encouraging collaboration and transparency throughout the supply chain.
- Continuous Improvement: We are committed to ongoing review and improvement of our anti-human trafficking program, adapting our strategies as necessary to effectively address emerging risks and challenges.
