California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Information
GALLO is a leading wine, spirits and RTD company in the United States and around the world. We comply with federal, state, and foreign laws regarding labor practices in all parts of the world where we operate.
On January 1, 2012, a new law came into effect in California called the Transparency in Supply Chains Act (SB 657). The law requires our company and many other large retailers and manufacturers to disclose publicly their efforts, if any, to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains. In compliance with this law, the information below relates to our efforts to eliminate human trafficking and slavery in our supply chain.
The vast majority of our suppliers are located in the United States, principally in California. California and, we believe, all other states in the United States, have laws making forced labor and human trafficking a serious crime. So far as we are aware, no supplier to our company, whether located within or without the United States, has ever been accused of engaging in forced labor or human trafficking.
We have dedicated Supplier Development and Quality Assurance teams that try to ensure we work only with reputable suppliers. These teams establish guidelines and programs related to quality and product integrity for our main suppliers. In addition, we strive to ensure that our contracts with suppliers include a provision which requires suppliers to perform in compliance with all applicable laws, including laws against forced labor and human trafficking. GALLO's Supplier Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that all suppliers fully comply with all applicable laws prohibiting human trafficking and slavery, including forced, bonded, indentured, involuntary convict or compulsory labor.
We issue surveys and may conduct announced audits and inspections of our strategic suppliers. If we determine that one of our suppliers is in violation with our Supplier Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, we will take any action as we deem warranted. Such action may include working with the supplier to ensure that steps are taken to address the issue and prevent its recurrence, or terminating the relationship with the supplier.
