California Transparency in Supply Chains Act
Modern Slavery Statement. This statement is published pursuant to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (SB 657). It describes Packora’s efforts, if any, to identify and reduce the risk of forced labor, slavery, and human trafficking in our direct supply chain for tangible goods offered for sale.
How we approach responsible sourcing
Packora supports businesses with customizable branded packaging. We work with suppliers and manufacturing partners to produce and fulfill orders. We do not condone or support forced labor, slavery, or human trafficking (“modern slavery”) in our own operations or those of our suppliers.
SB 657 focuses on transparency. The disclosures below explain what we currently do—and what we do not currently do—across the five categories identified by the statute.
This statement is provided for transparency purposes and does not create contractual rights or obligations beyond applicable law and your agreements with Packora.
What this statement covers
This statement addresses efforts related to modern slavery risks in Packora’s direct supply chain for tangible goods that we offer for sale. It does not attempt to map every tier of the global supply chain, and it may not cover indirect service providers (for example, carriers or software providers), except where they are involved in manufacturing or fulfillment of tangible goods.
Key terms (plain language)
- Forced labor: work or service that a person is not freely choosing and cannot leave.
- Human trafficking: exploitation of people through coercion, abuse, or deception.
- Slavery: severe forms of control over a person’s freedom for exploitation.
- Supplier: a business that manufactures, converts, prints, finishes, packs, or provides goods/components incorporated into products sold by Packora.
Oversight and responsibility
Responsibility for this statement and related practices sits with Packora’s leadership and the teams involved in supplier selection, purchasing, and quality/operations. We aim to review and update this statement periodically, especially when our sourcing practices materially change.
How we evaluate improvements
- Clarifying supplier expectations during onboarding and purchasing.
- Using risk-aware checks where practical (product type, geography, and supplier context).
- Documenting concerns and outcomes when issues are raised.
If you are a supplier or partner and want to discuss responsible sourcing expectations, email info@packora.com.
How our supply chain works
- We source packaging products and/or components from manufacturing partners and suppliers.
- Manufacturing may include printing, converting, finishing, assembly, packing, and distribution.
- We evaluate partners based on capability, quality, reliability, and responsible business expectations.
Supplier expectations
We expect suppliers to comply with applicable laws and to take appropriate steps to prevent modern slavery in their operations and supply chains. Depending on the product and supplier, expectations may be communicated through onboarding, purchase terms, or operational requirements.
We do not currently publish a standalone Supplier Code of Conduct. We may publish one as our supplier program continues to mature.
SB 657 disclosure snapshot
SB 657 calls for public disclosure of efforts, if any, in five areas. Below we describe the extent of our current practices.
The sections below reflect current practices and may be updated as our program evolves.
Risk-based evaluation of supply chain risks
Status: Limited / evolvingWe are continuing to formalize and expand risk-based verification processes. At this time, verification activities may be limited and may occur on an as-needed basis (for example, when a concern is raised or when supplier context suggests elevated risk).
Verification is conducted internally and is not conducted by a third party.
Audits of suppliers for compliance
Status: Not currently conductedWe do not currently conduct audits focused specifically on forced labor, slavery, or human trafficking. We may evaluate appropriate audit approaches as our supplier program matures, including whether audits should be independent and whether they should be announced or unannounced.
Supplier certifications about legal compliance
Status: Not currently requiredWe do not currently require formal written supplier certifications specifically addressing slavery and human trafficking laws. We may introduce certification requirements over time, particularly for suppliers or product categories where risk factors suggest a need for stronger controls.
Internal standards and responsive actions
Status: In progressWe are developing more formal internal accountability procedures related to modern slavery risks.
Training for relevant team members
Status: Not currently formalizedWe do not currently provide formal training specifically dedicated to modern slavery in supply chains. We may implement role-appropriate training as we expand our compliance and supplier programs.
How to report concerns
If you believe a Packora product, supplier, or business partner may be connected to forced labor, slavery, or human trafficking, please report the concern so we can review and take appropriate action.
Please include any details that can help us investigate (product, supplier name if known, dates, links, photos, etc.).
Confidentiality and non-retaliation
Packora will not knowingly retaliate against anyone for raising a concern in good faith. We aim to handle reports discreetly and share information only as needed to review and respond.
How we keep this statement current
We update this statement when our practices materially change or when new information warrants an update. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
Recordkeeping (as applicable)
We may keep internal notes or documentation related to supplier onboarding, communications, and reported concerns, but we do not currently maintain a formal recordkeeping policy specific to SB 657.
