MODERN SLAVERY
Forced labor takes different forms, including debt bondage, trafficking and other forms of modern slavery. The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 and The UK Modern Slavery Act of 2015 require certain businesses to disclose their efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains.
Nordic, does not tolerate forced labor practices to be used in any of our operations, as stated in our policy. We require all suppliers to sign an agreement of adherence to RBA, and to promote these principles to the next tier suppliers. The RBA Code of Conduct explicitly bans trafficked and forced labor, as well as any form of child labor.
