Our Commitment: J.D. Heiskell Holdings, LLC (JDHH) strongly opposes any and all illegal and unethical treatment of human beings. In support of this law, JDHH offers the following disclosure.

  1. Verification: Upon request by any customer of JDHH, we will provide verification that the supply chain responsible for delivery of the product/products in question is not tainted by vendors engaged in slavery or human trafficking. This supply chain audit will be conducted internally by JDHH.
  2. Audits: JDHH does not, in its regular course of business, conduct physical audits of its suppliers to evaluate their compliance with regards to human trafficking or slavery.
  3. Certification: JDHH does not require suppliers to certify that their own supply chains are free of slavery or human trafficking.
  4. Internal Accountability: JDHH has designated an employee to monitor its supply chains with the intent of mitigating the risk of utilizing vendors engaged in slavery or human trafficking practices. Internal records will be retained for employees that fail to meet JDHH’s standards of slavery and human trafficking.
  5. Training: Our Human Resources department continually trains and monitors all JDHH employees to maximize awareness of human rights improprieties.

To date JDHH is not aware of any issues with slavery or human trafficking within its supply chain. Customers or suppliers of JDHH who are aware or who become aware of any illegal treatment of people within the supply chain are urged to contact the following JDHH Representative.
