The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 was enacted to increase the amount of information made available by manufacturers and retailers regarding their efforts to address the issue of slavery and human trafficking, thereby allowing consumers to make better, more informed choices regarding the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.
Tommy Bahama Furniture is committed to conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner and it is the Company鈥檚 expectation that suppliers conduct themselves in the same manner.
Tommy Bahama Furniture manufactures and assembles a significant portion of its product offering in its U.S. facilities. These facilities, together with the Company鈥檚 distribution centers and showrooms, are under the Company鈥檚 direct control and do not use forced or involuntary labor and do not engage in slavery or human trafficking. Further, the Company will not knowingly conduct business with any organization or individual that is found to engage in such practices.
While a third party has not been utilized, Tommy Bahama Furniture has performed internal risk assessments of its suppliers, both in person and via questionnaire. These risk assessments are designed to verify each supplier鈥檚 efforts relative to eradicating slavery and human trafficking. The Company intends to continue this practice. Tommy Bahama Furniture employees work closely with suppliers to ensure compliance with the Company鈥檚 quality and ethical standards, including periodic discussions on compliance.
Tommy Bahama Furniture has conducted formalized training on this issue with all employees who interact with Company suppliers in an effort to confirm compliance and continuity with the Company鈥檚 stated position.
