CA Transparency in Supply Chain Act Disclosure

Statement Under the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657)

Maintaining the highest standard of ethics is Technimark’s corporate policy and has always been an integral part of the Technimark culture. Our reputation for ethical business practices is one of our most valued assets. We build our business based on the core principles of honesty, integrity and loyalty. We also expect our business partners to operate on the same principles. As part of our commitment to global corporate stewardship, Technimark complies with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (Senate Bill No. 657), which seeks to completely eradicate slavery and human trafficking in the supply chain. This disclosure covers the five major areas identified as below:

Verification: Technimark may conduct on-site social compliance supplier audits or require our suppliers to complete facility self-assessment questionnaires. Certain high-risk suppliers, which are identified based on country location and other risk parameters, may be subject to social compliance audits conducted by an independent third party to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery.

Auditing: Technimark may conduct on-site audits, either announced or unannounced, to verify that our suppliers do not violate our Technimark Supplier Social Responsibility Policy, including our prohibition on human trafficking and the use of forced labor in any form.

Certification: Critical suppliers may be required to certify that materials incorporated into the product comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the country or countries in which they are doing business. New suppliers are required to provide a self-assessment prior to being approved as a supplier. In addition, social responsibility requirements may be included within our contracts with suppliers. Suppliers failing to meet our Supplier Social Responsibility Requirements or failing to comply with the terms of our contracts would be in breach of our agreement.

Internal Accountability: Technimark requires all of its employees, regardless of position, seniority or geographic location, to comply with applicable foreign, federal and state laws, including those relating to the use of forced labor, human trafficking and other prohibited employment and labor practices. Employees that violate these provisions are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Training: Technimark offers training on the Technimark Supplier Social Responsibility Policy to all employees and management who have direct responsibility for supply chain management. This training addresses, among other things, Technimark’s policies on legal compliance, prohibition on forced labor and human trafficking, prohibition on child labor and worker compensation and working hour limitations.
