As part of its commitment to comply with all laws and
regulations applicable to its operations, including those which seek to ensure
the health and well-being of its employees, Meritor will not knowingly engage in
any form of human trafficking or slavery, nor will it knowingly do business with
any supplier who does so.
Beginning on or before September 30, 2013, Meritor
will require all of its suppliers to certify their compliance with all
applicable laws against human trafficking and slavery, will require a similar
certification by all of its new suppliers and will periodically update its
supplier certifications. In addition, although Meritor does not currently
intend to routinely conduct audits of its suppliers to evaluate their compliance
with these laws, it will audit any supplier which it has reason to believe may
be engaged in any activity that would violate applicable laws against human
trafficking and slavery to ensure compliance with these laws.
Meritor has adopted a formal policy requiring that
all of its employees and suppliers be made aware of, and comply with, laws
against human trafficking and slavery, that its employees report any violation
of these laws to management and that any violation of this policy may result in
appropriate disciplinary action up to and including termination. As part of
this policy, the company’s buyers are required to be trained to comply with laws
against human trafficking and slavery, including the steps to be taken to ensure
that the company’s suppliers are aware of, and agree to comply with, this
policy.
