Transparency in Supply Chain
Dompé USA requires that entities in its product supply chain regularly certify that they do not engage in human trafficking and slavery, including employing slave labor brokers or third-party slave labor recruiters.
Our suppliers are expected to provide such certification annually. We have the right to audit all our suppliers of materials that are incorporated into our products and to conduct or use third parties to conduct announced audits of suppliers to assess compliance with this expectation. If we discover that a supplier is non complaint, we will require either corrective actions or will terminate outstanding orders.
We do not require independent certifications of compliance, but we reserve the right to obtain documentary evidence of compliance upon request.
We have internal policies and procedures that require our personnel employees to comply with our company standards, policies and procedure, including our Code of Conduct related to supplier workplace [https://www.dompe.com/who-we-are/responsibility/ethics-and-transparency]
