California Transparency Act

Under the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010, a large number of businesses that make or sell goods in California must publicly report what they do about slavery and human trafficking, so shoppers can choose the products they purchase with better information.

The Remi Responsible Sourcing Program consists of the components listed below. Its guiding aim is to safeguard and encourage healthy, sustainable working conditions while spotting and tackling modern slavery and human trafficking.

Transparency: We want our suppliers to speak candidly with Remi about both wins and difficulties. We likewise ask for full visibility into their supply chains, including the names and locations of any sub-suppliers. Anyone who picks our products should be able to see how Remi works to better the lives of the people who produced them.

Contractual Obligations: Remi buys only from a limited group of carefully chosen suppliers with a record of obeying local law and protecting their workers' rights. Through our contracts and Code of Conduct, every new factory must confirm that the materials going into our products satisfy the slavery and human trafficking laws of each country where it operates.

Onsite Assessment of Supplier Social Practices: Before Remi places any order, every new factory has to pass an onsite review carried out by a professional, independent third-party social audit firm. These social audits confirm that suppliers satisfy our baseline expectations for working conditions, as laid out in our Code of Conduct. Onsite social audits, which could be announced or not, need to cover private worker interviews, a look through paperwork and records, and visual checks of safety conditions. What the audit concentrates on also reflects identified, material, region-specific challenges, so the right level of due diligence is applied. How often further onsite audits happen depends on country risk and earlier performance. Remi has zero tolerance for slavery and human trafficking. Finding any Zero Tolerance (ZT) issue means an automatic failed audit, and Remi will stop placing orders unless the ZT violation(s) are fixed responsibly within a quick, agreed timeline.

Continuous Improvement: Remi keeps dedicated staff and processes in place so that suppliers address any flagged shortcomings and fix them in a practical, timely way. We stress root-cause analysis and management systems that secure lasting performance and accountability, and every corrective step gets verified.

Training: Remi trains the employees who are directly in charge of managing the supply chain on the topics of human trafficking and slavery, with a special focus on reducing risk across the chains behind our products.
