1.    CALIFORNIA TRANSPARENCY IN SUPPLY CHAINS ACT OF 2010

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 requires retailers and manufacturers doing business in California to disclose their efforts to combat human trafficking and forced labor in their own direct supply chains.  Mountain High Organics is committed to meeting the requirements of the Act and requires its suppliers to do so.  Also, certain Mountain High Organics customers require Mountain High Organics, as one of their direct suppliers, to help them satisfy the Act’s disclosure requirements.  As a result, Mountain High Organics requires its suppliers to certify that they have met the Act’s requirements.

Specifically, each supplier must certify that:

1. It verifies its Product supply chains to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery (and will disclose to Mountain High Organics whether a third party conducted the verification);
2. It audits its own suppliers to evaluate compliance with supplier’s company standards (and will specify to Mountain High Organics whether the audits are independent and unannounced);
3. It requires its direct suppliers to certify that the products they provide to the supplier comply with the laws of the country in which the supplier does business.
4. It maintains internal accountability standards for employees and contractors concerning human trafficking and slavery; and
5. It ensures that supplier employees and management responsible for supply chain management are trained to identify human trafficking and slavery and how to mitigate risks within supply chains.

Each supplier must also certify that it and all employees and agents involved in the manufacturing, processing or delivery of the products strictly adhere to all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and prohibitions of the United States, its territories and all countries in which the product is produced or delivered with respect to the operation of their production facilities and their other business and labor practices, including but not limited to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010, and comply with existing local and federal laws regarding slavery and human trafficking in the country or countries in which Mountain High Organics business with supplier is being conducted.

2.    COMPLIANCE WITH FOOD SAFETY LAWS

Mountain High Organics expects its Suppliers to be aware of and comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding food safety, including, but not limited to, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Safety and Modernization Act (“FSMA”), and rules and regulations adopted thereunder (collectively, the “FD&C Act”), and all applicable provisions of the Meat Inspection Act (“MIA”), Poultry Product Inspection Act (“PPIA”) and/or Egg Product Inspection Act (“EPIA”), including all applicable rules and regulations adopted thereunder.

Mountain High Organics requires that its suppliers provide all warnings required under California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, Health and Safety Code Section 25249.5 (“Proposition 65”) (or any similar local, state, or federal law or regulation) which requires a specific warning on any products containing certain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.
