California Supply Chains Act Disclosure
At DIAKIOR, we are deeply committed to maintaining integrity, transparency, and ethical practices throughout our business operations, including our supply chain. In compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), we provide this disclosure to detail the steps we take to ensure that our supply chain is free from human trafficking, slavery, and forced labor. Our mission is to create luxury products responsibly, upholding human dignity and sustainable practices at every stage of production.



Verification
We recognize the importance of thoroughly vetting our supply chain to identify and mitigate risks of human trafficking, slavery, and forced labor. To this end, we implement robust verification processes that include:
1. Internal Reviews: Our team regularly conducts comprehensive assessments of our supply chain to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities related to unethical labor practices. These reviews are conducted using industry standards and benchmarks.
2. External Expertise: In addition to our internal efforts, we collaborate with third-party auditors and ethical trade organizations to provide an objective evaluation of our suppliers’ operations. These partnerships help us ensure compliance with local laws and international labor standards.
3. Supplier Risk Assessment: We utilize data-driven tools and metrics to assess the geographical, sectoral, and operational risks associated with each supplier. This allows us to prioritize and address high-risk areas proactively.



Audits
To ensure compliance with our ethical standards, [Your Brand Name] conducts regular audits of our supply chain. These audits may include:
1. Scheduled and Unannounced Visits: We perform both announced and unannounced audits to ensure that suppliers consistently adhere to our ethical requirements. This dual approach helps verify ongoing compliance and identify potential issues in real time.
2. Comprehensive Evaluations: Our audits examine labor practices, working conditions, health and safety protocols, wage compliance, and adherence to environmental regulations.
3. Transparency Requirements: We require full transparency from our suppliers during audits. Non-cooperation or misrepresentation of information results in immediate corrective actions, up to and including termination of the business relationship.
4. Continuous Monitoring: Audit findings are reviewed, and action plans are developed for any areas requiring improvement. We work closely with suppliers to implement these improvements and monitor progress over time.



Supplier Certification
Suppliers are integral to our operations, and we hold them to the highest standards of ethical conduct. As part of their contractual agreement with [Your Brand Name], suppliers are required to:
1. Legal Compliance: Certify that all materials, components, and labor used in their production comply with local and international laws prohibiting human trafficking, slavery, and forced labor.
2. Ethical Standards: Agree to abide by our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines clear expectations for labor practices, workplace safety, and environmental stewardship.
3. Regular Updates: Provide periodic documentation and attestations to confirm ongoing compliance. We encourage suppliers to adopt their own rigorous ethical standards and share progress with us transparently.



Accountability
DIAKIOR upholds a zero-tolerance policy for any violations of human rights or labor laws within our supply chain. To enforce this commitment:
1. Training Programs: We provide comprehensive training for employees and contractors involved in supply chain management. These programs educate participants on recognizing risks of forced labor, understanding relevant laws, and implementing ethical sourcing practices.
2. Reporting Mechanisms: We maintain confidential channels for employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report unethical practices without fear of retaliation. All reports are thoroughly investigated.
3. Corrective Actions: Suppliers found to be in violation of our standards are required to address issues immediately. Failure to comply with corrective measures results in the termination of the business relationship.



Continuous Improvement
At DIAKIOR, we recognize that creating a fully ethical and transparent supply chain is an ongoing process. To further our efforts, we are committed to:
1. Innovating Practices: Continuously enhancing our supply chain monitoring tools and methodologies to address evolving risks and challenges.
2. Collaborating with Experts: Partnering with industry organizations, non-governmental organizations, and advocacy groups to share insights and implement best practices in ethical sourcing.
3. Engaging Stakeholders: Actively seeking feedback from customers, employees, and suppliers to ensure our policies remain effective and aligned with our mission.
4. Public Reporting: Publishing periodic updates on our website to share progress and maintain transparency with stakeholders.
