Retailer Readiness is Key to Compliance with California’s Transparency in Supply Chains Act

On January 1, 2012, retailers must be in compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010. Compliance with the Act is relatively simple: retailers are not required to take any affirmative action to ensure that products in their distribution channel do not emanate from companies that rely on slave labor, but must post on their website what, if anything, they are doing to eliminate slave labor from their supply chains.
