CA Supply Chains Act
1. VALIDATION
According to the U.S. government and those of the respective country of manufacture or exportation, we expect our manufacturers to follow ethical production practices. Besides vendor factory reports, thebestmale.com uses third-party factory audits to monitor compliance. Once potential risks are identified, a step-by-step plan is developed. The risk assessment includes a focus on monitoring for human trafficking and slavery risks in the supply chain.
2. AUDITS
In order to ensure safe, ethical production practices, we require companies producing TheBestMale.com branded or onbranded products to conduct annual factory audits by one of the reputable independent third-party monitoring companies (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas). Audits can be announced or unannounced.
3. CERTIFICATION
Audits at factories show certification passes or failures. Potential risks identified in the supply chain are addressed by per-makers action plans.
4. INTERNAL ACCOUNTABILITY
In the event a maker is not in compliance with ethical production practices as outlined by the U.S. Government and the country of manufacture or exportation, TheBestMale.com will require the maker to correct the problem immediately.
