As a supplier exporting product to US, California State law requires us to provide disclosure regarding our efforts to address the issue of slave labor and human trafficking in our supply chain.
Ningbo Brynick Enterprises Limited is actively committed to eradicating human trafficking and slavery from its supply chain. Suppliers are prohibited from using prison, forced, or child labor, and must provide a work environment free from physical punishment of any kind. Rates of pay must comply with the national laws of the countries in which the suppliers do business. Employee work hours must be limited to those authorized by applicable laws, and employees must be properly compensated for overtime. All suppliers must respect the right of workers to freely associate and organize. Ningbo Brynick Enterprises Limited and our suppliers are not permitted to use bonded laborers. Suppliers’ employees must be free to leave manufacturing facilities and not subject to unreasonable restrictions on their movements. Suppliers’ employees must be free to terminate their employment at will.
Ningbo Brynick Enterprises Limited trains its managers and employees concerning these standards and verification of compliance by suppliers. While no written certification of compliance is currently required from our suppliers, supplier compliance is ensured by annual supplier self-assessments, followed by on-site audits and requalification audits. These audits are conducted personally by Ningbo Brynick Enterprises Limited auditing teams and include confidential employee interviews of individuals selected by Ningbo Brynick Enterprises Limited. The audits are announced to the suppliers only with as much lead time as minimally necessary to ensure that all required documentation is available to the auditing team. These on-site audits include verification of time and pay records. Suppliers are rated for compliance with Ningbo Brynick Enterprises Limited practices and standards. Deficiencies found during supplier audits can result in graduated penalties.
