NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS:

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act

On January 1, 2012, the Transparency in Supply Chains Act came into effect, which requires certain retailers and manufacturers doing business in California to publicly disclose their efforts, if any, to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains.

We work to ensure that our employees and all members of our supply chain are treated with dignity and respect.  We do not use any forced labor in our operations and we expect the same of our business partners and suppliers.  All of our employees are charged with identifying and working with reputable suppliers that are committed to complying with all federal, state, and foreign laws regarding labor practices.

When we source from suppliers, we typically do so from suppliers located in the United States, and we typically do not engage suppliers from countries with an increased risk of human trafficking and slavery.  Although we do not conduct audits of suppliers for trafficking and slavery, we monitor and periodically conduct announced site visits to ensure that our suppliers meet our high standards.  It is our policy to cease doing business with any supplier who participates in human trafficking or forced labor practices.  If we discover a concern with one of our suppliers, we may require appropriate corrective action or terminate the relationship.

We have and are continuing to educate our employees who are involved in the procurement of goods and services about the Transparency in Supply Chains Act, and the steps that should be taken to identify, cure, and guard against any use of forced labor in our supply chains.

Proposition 65

Proposition 65 (Prop 65) is a state ballot initiative intended to protect California citizens and the state’s drinking water sources from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and to inform citizens about exposures to such chemicals.  For more information about Prop 65 and the list of chemicals requiring disclosure, please visit http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html.  Prop 65 entitles California consumers to warnings for the following products:
