Modern Slavery Policy and Transparency In Supply Chain Act

Livingstone International reviews its products supply chains to evaluate and address the risks of human trafficking and forced labour. We confirm a key suppliers compliance with standards for human trafficking and forced labour through one or more of:

  • A supplier's declaration of compliance;
  • An inspection by Livingstone International personnel; or
  • An independent third-party audit. We also audit our key suppliers to ensure that their practices comply with applicable national laws regarding human trafficking and forced labour.

Livingstone International's Code of Conduct establishes the company's expectations and creates accountability for our people concerning human rights and other ethical concerns.


Similarly, we comply with Supplier Social Compliance Standards that set forth our principles and procedures to hold suppliers, employees, and contractors accountable for combating forced labour and human trafficking. Livingstone International provides training on human trafficking and forced labour for its employees and managers with direct responsibility for our supply chain. The training includes a strong focus on identifying and mitigating risks.
