The ACM Policy Against Human Trafficking
ACM’s is guided by the policy that we want to be a company that society wants to exist. We treat our associates with dignity and respect, being ever mindful of the value they provide us as a company that provides products to our customers.
This policy outlines the efforts ACM makes to seek to eliminate human trafficking, slavery, forced labor and child labor from its global supply chain. This policy is designed to comply with and support compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.222-50 and all other applicable laws and regulations.
This policy applies to ACM, its associates, agents, contractors/vendors, subcontractors, suppliers (and their employees) when acting within the scope of employment or contract with ACM.
ACM will not tolerate and will not condone the use of slavery, forced, involuntary or coerced labor, child labor, human trafficking and sex trafficking by an associate, agent, subcontractor or supplier in the operation or support of our business or the sales of our products.
To that end, ACM shall require that its associate, agents, contractor/vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers:

- Not knowingly use any form of forced or involuntary labor, including through the use of (a) threats of serious harm to, or physical restraint against, a person or another person; (b) any scheme, plan, or pattern intended to cause a person to believe that, if the person did not perform such labor or services, that the person or another person would suffer serious harm or physical restraint; or (c) any abuse or threatened abuse of law or the legal process:
- Not engage in or support the use of child labor and shall comply with all applicable local child labor laws.
- Not destroy, conceal, confiscate, or otherwise deny access by an associate to the associate’s identity or immigration documents, such as passports or drivers’ licenses.
- Not use misleading or fraudulent practices during the recruitment of associate or offering of employment, and shall endeavor to the extent possible to disclose to associates, in a format and language accessible to the associate, the basic information regarding the key terms and conditions of employment, including wages and fringe benefits, the location of work, the living conditions, housing and associated costs (if provided or arranged by ACM or its agents), any significant cost to be charged to the associate, and, if applicable, the hazardous nature of the work. If required by law or contract, provide an employment contract, recruitment agreement, or other required work document in writing, which shall be in a language the associate understands.
- Comply with all applicable local wages, benefits, and working hours labor laws.
- Not charge employee recruitment fees and shall not use recruiters that do not comply with local labor laws of the country in which the recruiting takes place.
- Provide return transportation or pay for the cost of return transportation upon the end of employment for employees who are not nationals of the country where they are working if the employee is brought to that country for purposes of working on U.S. government contract.
- If ACM or an ACM supplier provides or arranges housing for employees, the housing shall meet the host country housing and safety standards.
ACM has a zero-tolerance policy regarding any of its associates, agents, contractors/vendors, subcontractors, or suppliers (or their employees) who engage in or support the use of slavery, forced, involuntary or coerced labor, child labor, human trafficking, or sex trafficking. Failure to comply with this Policy will result in disciplinary action up to or including termination of employment. If any agent, contractor/vendor, subcontractor, or supplier is found in violation of this policy, ACM will take prompt, remedial measures to address the violation, up to and including termination of the relationship with ACM.
