The Supplier Code of Conduct sets standards that help our suppliers understand SDM Asia's expectations, including the requirement to respect the rights set out in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to require that their suppliers, in turn, do the same. Slavery and human trafficking are specifically addressed in the Supplier Code of Conduct, which states: Suppliers shall not use any form of slave, forced, bonded, indentured, or involuntary prison labour. They shall not engage in human trafficking or exploitation, or import goods tainted by slavery or human trafficking. They shall not retain employees' government issued identification, passports or work permits as a condition of employment.

Human rights risk management and due diligence process
SDM Asia has a risk management process in place to assess risk within our supply chain, including modern slavery. SDM Asia provides guidance to suppliers on complying with our standards, including the SDM Asia expectation that suppliers hold their supply chains to the same high standards. Suppliers are expected to understand our expectations and are required to appraise their current practices and management systems.

Due diligence is in the form of third-party monitoring firms conducting on-site announced and unannounced audits of suppliers. Examples of due diligence are a physical inspection of the facility, including the housing and cafeterias for the workers. In addition, the monitoring firms also conduct private worker interviews and review facility records and business practices to assess compliance with the SDM Asia Supplier Code of Conduct. Modern Slavery risks are addressed specifically as part of the audit, including verifying that workers are not charged illegal fees by the supplier or a third-party employment agency. Moreover, the third-party monitoring firm reviews hiring practices to ensure workers are employed under voluntary conditions, including confirming that worker contracts are in the local language and signed by the worker, and workers have freedom of movement, including confirming that workers have the option of retaining all personal identification documentation. Instances of non-compliance are shared with the supplier during in an audit report. If the supplier fails in meeting our standards, with instances of significant non-compliance, SDM Asia will remove them from the supply chain.
