Human Rights Policy

Sabert Corporation is committed to a work environment that is free from human trafficking, forced labor and unlawful child labor (“human trafficking and slavery”). We strongly believe that we are responsible for promoting ethical and lawful employment practices. These practices must be followed by our suppliers, subcontractors or business partners (collectively referred to as “Suppliers”) worldwide. This policy also complies with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act. 

Statement Of Policy

This policy applies to all employees of Sabert Corporation.

Principles:

The following principles will guide our activities in the area of human rights and employment practices:

  • We believe that people should work because they want or need to, not because they are forced to do so. We prohibit the use of prison labor, forcibly indentured labor, bonded labor, slavery, servitude or human trafficking.
  • We do not employ children or support the use of child labor.
  • We recognize, respect, and embrace the cultural differences found in the worldwide marketplace. Our goal is to attract, develop, promote, and retain the best people from all cultures and segments of the population, based on ability. We have zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment of any kind.
  • We ensure that compensation meets or exceeds the legal minimums and is competitive with industry standards. Our compensation practices are in full compliance with all applicable laws.

Sabert will abide by these principles in the manufacture  and distribution of our products and will not accept products or services from Suppliers that fail to comply with these principles.

Supplier Requirements:

All Suppliers are required to comply with the following requirements:

  • They will not use forced or compulsory labor, i.e., any work or service that a worker performs involuntarily, under threat of penalty.  They will ensure that the overall terms of employment are voluntary.  They will comply with the minimum age requirements prescribed by applicable laws unless a specific contract contains stricter age requirements.
  • They will compensate their workers with wages and benefits that meet or exceed the legally required minimum and will comply with all applicable overtime pay requirements.

Certifications and Consequences:

When requested, Suppliers must certify that materials incorporated into the products they provide comply with the laws regarding human trafficking and slavery of the country or countries in which they are doing business.  Suppliers must be able to demonstrate compliance with this Policy to the satisfaction of Sabert.

If a Supplier fails to comply with any of our human rights requirements, we will take appropriate action. This can include canceling all contracts and alerting local authorities of any suspected or confirmed illegal activity.

Sabert will continue to evaluate and develop additional means to identify, prevent and mitigate the impact of slavery and human trafficking in our global supply chain.

Compliance:

Sabert Corporation will not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting a concern or for cooperating with a compliance investigation, even when no evidence is found to substantiate the report. 

Any violation of this policy may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Sabert Corporation and its subsidiaries have the exclusive right to interpret this policy regarding their respective employees.

Violation of the U.S. Government's policy against human trafficking may also result in criminal prosecution of responsible individuals.
