The State of California’s law to require disclosure by large manufacturers and retailers of their efforts to abolish slavery and human trafficking in their supply chain will come into effect in the next five months.
The statewide law, California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, was approved back in October 2010. The law requires all apparel and footwear retailers as well as manufacturers with global sales of more than $100 million a year to make the disclosures on their companies’ Websites or send written disclosures at the request of customers if no Websites are available.
