UNFI’s Disclosure Under the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010
Effective January 1, 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 requires retailers and manufacturers doing business in California to disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking in their own direct supply chain. While UNFI is neither a retailer nor a manufacturer, it is nonetheless committed to meeting the requirements of the Act and expects its suppliers to as well.
UNFI is in the process of requiring all of its direct suppliers to certify that they and the producers/growers of food, goods and materials used by them in the products they sell to UNFI comply with UNFI’s standards with respect to slavery and human trafficking. Each of UNFI’s suppliers has been asked to certify to compliance with the specific provisions of UNFI’s Code of Conduct and to confirm and document compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010.
