California Transparency in Supply Chains Act
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (”CTSCA”) requires companies above a certain size that manufacture or sell products in California to disclose their efforts (if any) to address the issues of human trafficking and slavery. The CTSCA allows consumers to make better, more informed choices regarding the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.
Purple Innovation, LLC (”Purple") strives to achieve and maintain high standards of corporate integrity and ethical behavior. Purple and its employees adhere to the Purple Code of Ethics. Purple expects that its suppliers will adopt the relevant provisions of Purple’s Manufacturer Code of Conduct that prohibits human trafficking and slavery and otherwise conduct their businesses not only in a lawful manner but also in compliance with the same high standards of integrity and ethics. Purple expects that its suppliers will not support, promote, or engage in the practice of slavery or human trafficking, and it contractually requires suppliers to comply with the laws regarding anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking of the country or countries in which they are doing business. Purple suppliers are further expected to take reasonable and necessary steps to help ensure that their sub-contractors and sub-suppliers conduct business in compliance with the laws regarding anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking of the country or countries in which they are doing business. Suppliers are expected to promptly take corrective action to address any deficiencies identified with respect to compliance with the laws regarding anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking. If a supplier is found to be in violation of the laws regarding anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking, Purple reserves the contractual right to terminate its relationship with that supplier for failure to comply.
