California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Disclosure

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) requires companies that manufacture or sell products in the state of California to provide information regarding their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their direct supply chains. The law is designed to increase California consumers’ knowledge about the products they buy and the companies they choose to support. Pursuant to this statutory requirement, Swisslog Healthcare makes the following disclosure regarding verification, audits, certification, internal accountability and training.
