Verification

Verification

Ray Padula evaluates and selects suppliers based on multiple factors, including quality, reliability, operational capabilities, and adherence to ethical and social responsibility standards. We work with established third-party organizations such as BSCI, Intertek, and Bureau Veritas to assess and monitor risks and compliance within our supply chain in addition to our own internal site visits for evaluation.

Auditing

Auditing

We conduct ongoing supplier audits through independent third-party organizations, such as BSCI, Intertek, and Bureau Veritas. These audits assess compliance with labor, health and safety, environmental, and ethical standards. Audits may be announced or unannounced depending on the program, size of the supplier, and region.

Certification

Certification

We require our suppliers to comply with applicable laws and regulations related to labor practices, human rights, environmental and ethical business conduct. Suppliers participating in audit programs must meet or exceed the standards established by the applicable auditing body, our internal standards, the requirements of our business partners (i.e. retailers of our products), as well as all local laws and regulations.

Accountability

Accountability

Ray Padula maintains internal standards and expectations for supplier conduct and adheres to the standards and requirements of its global retail partners. Suppliers that fail to meet required standards may be subject to corrective action plans, remediation requirements, or termination of the business relationship. While we typically provide up to a year for suppliers to correct minor issues, we consider things such as forced/prison labor, human trafficking, child labor, physical or sexual abuse, bribery, coercion, slavery, or similar acts to be zero-tolerance issues requiring immediate corrective action, and/or the termination of current business agreements depending on the circumstances.

Training

Training

While we do not currently maintain a formal training program specific to human trafficking and slavery for our employees, we prioritize working with third-party suppliers that are audited and verified by recognized, and trusted third-party organizations specializing in ethical compliance, auditing, and enforcement.
