An Important Note about the 2012 California Transparency in Supply Chain Act.
On January 1, 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 («SB 657») went into effect. SB 657 requires retailers and manufacturers like Chrome Hearts that are doing business in California to disclose efforts and measures used to track possible slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains. This disclosure is made to provide information to our customers which in turn allows them to make better, more informed choices about the products they buy and the companies they support.

1. Verification of product supply chains to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery:

3. Supplier certification that materials incorporated into the product comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the country or countries in which we are doing business:

4. Maintaining internal accountability standards and procedures for employees or contractors failing to meet company standards on slavery and trafficking:
