At David Yurman, we are committed to the protection and advancement
of human rights. We believe in partnering with others who share our
values and understand the importance of responsible business
practices. As a company affected by the California Transparency in
Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB657), we are providing the following
information about our efforts to evaluate and address any risks of
human trafficking and slavery in our direct supply chain.
Verification. We have various internal means by which we
assess and evaluate the risks of human trafficking and slavery in our
supply chains including (i) reviewing supplier profile information,
(ii) conducting internal quality assessments, and/or (iii) engaging
independent third parties to conduct risk assessments through
inspections and site visits.
Audits. To ensure that our suppliers comply with all
applicable laws within their countries of operation and with company
standards, we require suppliers to allow us and/or our agents to
engage in certain monitoring activities. These monitoring activities
may include, but are not limited to, unannounced and announced site
inspections, reviews of books and records, and interviews with
employees.
Certification. As a condition of doing business with us,
suppliers must comply with our
Supplier
Code of Conduct and certify that they will comply with all
applicable laws governing employment, wages, working conditions,
benefits, and safety, in addition to all applicable environmental laws
and regulations. Furthermore, our commercial agreements with suppliers
include provisions specifically prohibiting practices associated with
human trafficking and slavery.
Accountability. All our employees are expected to abide by our
conduct policy, which requires employees to act ethically and comply
with all applicable laws. Any failure to comply with our conduct
policy could lead to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination. In the case of non-compliance with company standards
regarding human trafficking and slavery, we reserve the right to
terminate our business relationship with any non-complying supplier or contractor.
Training. Although we do not currently conduct
formal training for our employees with responsibility for supply chain
management, all such employees have significant experience in their
positions and have conducted numerous inspections and site visits. All
such employees are aware of issues concerning human trafficking and
slavery and are required to comply with company standards and all
applicable laws.
