The Act requires the Sigma Companies to make the following disclosure:

 

1. Verification

 

In their supplier agreements, the Sigma Companies require each supplier to abide by all applicable laws and regulations of the country or countries in which they are doing business. The Sigma Companies not only seek the best suppliers in terms of their quality, competitiveness, and reliability, but also their adherence to human rights and ethical labor practices. The Sigma Companies have not engaged a third party for verification.


 

2. Supplier Audits

 

The Sigma Companies reserve the right to audit supplier compliance. The Sigma Companies have not engaged a third party to conduct independent, unannounced audits.


 

3. Certification

 

The Sigma Companies require their direct suppliers to provide written acknowledgement that the materials incorporated into their products comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country or countries in which they are doing business.


 

4. Internal Accountability

 

Among the core values of the Sigma Companies are integrity, honesty, and respect. Through the hiring, training, and management of employees of the Sigma Companies we strive to enforce these values every day, ensuring that every person in our family of companies is treated fairly and with respect.


 

5. Training

 

The Sigma Companies plan to institute a module into our training programs to ensure that all employees having direct responsibility for supply chain management understand and comply with the Act.
