The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Disclosure

Sconza Chocolates strongly condemns human trafficking and slavery and remains committed to ensuring that our supply chains are free from human trafficking and slavery.

Sconza Chocoaltes Supplier Code of Conduct helps to implement this commitment in our supply chains. Our Code of Conduct requires all of our suppliers to comply with all applicable national and international laws and regulations relating to human trafficking and slavery, including the International Labour Organization and the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Verification

We regularly assess risks of non-compliances with our Code of Conduct, or ask a third party to assess the risks in specific supply chains. Where necessary, we implement concrete programs to support the suppliers in reaching and maintaining compliance with our Code of Conduct.

Audits

Under our Supplier Code of Conduct, we reserve the right to conduct (or have a third party conduct) audits of suppliers and their facilities to verify compliance with the Code of Conduct. Suppliers we define “at risk” for noncompliance with any aspect of our Code of Conduct, including the requirements related to human trafficking and slavery, are assessed, audited and/or verified by independent parties on a regular basis. We also have internal monitoring/control systems in place, covering a wider range of suppliers.

Certifications

The Supplier Code of Conduct requires all of our suppliers to sign a Compliance Declaration, stating that they: (1) have received and commit to fully comply with our Code of Conduct Code and its principles and requirements; (2) agree that we or a third party may carry out periodic, audits on their facilities; and (3) effectively communicate the contents of our Code of Conduct to their employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers and ensure all measures required are implemented accordingly. Failure to comply may result in Sconza Chocolates ceasing to do business with offending suppliers.

Accountability

All Sconza Chocolates employees are required to adhere to our Business Code of Conduct, which includes compliance with all laws and regulations. The CEO of Sconza Chocolates is responsible for ensuring that employees are informed and educated about the Business Code of Conduct. Furthermore, the CEO is expected to enforce strict adherence to the rules and regulations of the policy. Our disciplinary policy permits a range of measures, from corrective actions up to termination of relationships with employees involved in any similar misconduct.
