The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 requires retailers and manufacturers to disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chain.

ABG Lab, LLC. is opposed to human trafficking and forced labor at any level, and we are committed to ensuring that the manufacturers and suppliers we work with meet our standards. Below are our required disclosures under the Act.

2. ABG Lab, LLC. conducts independent announced audits of its suppliers to evaluate their compliance with our standards for human trafficking and slavery. This audit is conducted on all new vendors that perform a service, manufacture a product or manufacture any packing or collateral component for ABG Lab, LLC.
