III. FORCED LABOR AND CHILD LABOR POLICIES

 

At SBI, we are committed to upholding ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. We recognize the fundamental importance of human rights, and we vehemently oppose forced labor and child labor in any form. This policy outlines our steadfast commitment to preventing and eradicating these egregious violations within our supply chain and operations.

Prohibition of Forced Labor

SBI strictly prohibits the use of forced labor in any form, including but not limited to prison labor, bonded labor, involuntary servitude, or human trafficking. All employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners are expected to adhere to this prohibition without exception.

Prohibition of Child Labor

SBI unequivocally prohibits the use of child labor. Child labor is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, potential, and dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. We do not employ individuals under the age of 14 in any capacity. However, SBI recognizes that the participation of children or adolescents above the minimum age for admission to employment in work that does not affect their health, personal development, or interfere with their schooling can be acceptable. We acknowledge that there are differences in regulations between countries regarding the minimum age. We expect that our suppliers and business partners will, under no circumstances, use child labor as defined above.

Verification and Due Diligence

SBI will conduct thorough due diligence to assess and mitigate risks of forced labor and child labor within our supply chain. This includes implementing supplier screening processes, engaging in dialogue with suppliers to ensure compliance with this policy and if needed conducting audits.

Remediation and Accountability

Any instances of forced labor or child labor discovered within our supply chain will be addressed promptly and effectively. SBI will take appropriate action against any employee, contractor, supplier, or business partner found to be involved in or complicit with these violations.

Transparency and Reporting

SBI is committed to transparency regarding our efforts to combat forced labor and child labor. We will report annually on our progress in implementing and enforcing this policy, including disclosing any incidents, investigations, or remediation efforts related to forced labor and child labor.

Continuous Improvement

As necessary, SBI will review and update this policy to incorporate best practices, emerging standards, and stakeholder feedback.
