California Transparency in Supply Chains Act
Hi-Tech Closets Supply Chain Transparency Statement
In Compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010
Our Commitment
At Hi-Tech Closets Ltd., we are committed to ethical business practices, social responsibility, and the protection of human rights throughout our operations and supply chain. We believe that every person involved in producing our products deserves to work in conditions that are safe, fair, and free from exploitation.
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) aims to eliminate slavery and human trafficking from global supply chains. This law requires companies doing business in California to disclose their efforts to ensure that human rights abuses are not present within their supply chains.
Our Standards and Expectations
Hi-Tech Closets maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labor, child labor, human trafficking, or slavery in any form. We require that our suppliers, contractors, and manufacturing partners comply with all applicable labor, employment, and human-rights laws wherever they operate.
We expect all suppliers to:
-
Employ only voluntary labor and provide fair wages and safe working conditions.
-
Prohibit any form of forced, bonded, or prison labor.
-
Comply with applicable labor laws regarding wages, hours, and benefits.
-
Ensure a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and abuse.
Verification and Supplier Oversight
To uphold these values, Hi-Tech Closets has implemented a comprehensive supplier verification and auditing program as part of our broader corporate social responsibility initiative.
-
Supplier Evaluation: New suppliers undergo a review process to assess their compliance with our ethical and legal standards before approval.
-
Audits: We conduct periodic voluntary audits and request supporting documentation from key suppliers to confirm adherence to labor and human-rights standards.
-
Corrective Action: If a supplier is found to violate our standards, we will take immediate corrective measures, which may include requiring remediation or terminating the business relationship.
Training and Awareness
We educate our internal sourcing, manufacturing, and management teams on identifying risks related to human trafficking and forced labor. Employees involved in supply-chain management are trained to recognize warning signs and to engage only with responsible and compliant partners.
Accountability
Hi-Tech Closets requires all suppliers to sign and adhere to our Code of Conduct, which outlines our expectations for ethical behavior, lawful operations, and respect for human rights. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in review, suspension, or termination of the supplier relationship.
Continuous Improvement
We recognize that maintaining an ethical supply chain is an ongoing responsibility. Hi-Tech Closets continually reviews and refines its policies and procedures to promote transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement across our network of partners.
