FabricaKraft Commitment to Transparency in Supply Chains
At FabricaKraft, we understand the importance of ethical practices in our supply chain. In alignment with the spirit of laws like the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), we are committed to transparency and ensuring that our products are created in environments free from forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking.
Our Policy
- Zero Tolerance for Forced Labor: FabricaKraft has a strict policy against any form of forced or involuntary labor. We ensure that all our suppliers adhere to this policy by conducting regular audits and inspections.
- Child Labor Prevention: We prohibit the use of child labor in our supply chain. Our supplier agreements include clauses that explicitly ban this practice, and we work with independent auditors to verify compliance.
- Human Trafficking: We are vigilant in our efforts to prevent human trafficking. Our supplier code of conduct is designed to uphold human rights, and we educate our partners on recognizing and addressing these issues.
Our Practices
- Supplier Audits: Regular, unannounced audits are conducted by third-party organizations to assess compliance with our labor standards. These reviews include physical inspections and document checks to ensure no exploitation occurs.
- Training: We provide training to our sourcing teams and key suppliers on ethical practices, human rights, and how to spot signs of labor abuses. This training extends to our staff in both domestic and international locations to foster a culture of awareness and accountability.
- Contractual Obligations: All contracts with suppliers include clauses that require adherence to our ethical standards. Non-compliance can result in termination of business relationships.
- Supply Chain Mapping: We actively map our supply chains to identify where our products come from, ensuring traceability and accountability at every level.
Where our materials come from
Every cushion is made from two things: foam and fabric. We buy foam close to where your order is delivered, so it travels less and meets local fire-safety rules, and we buy fabric from established mills with published test data.
