Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

Policy Brief & Purpose

Rice Lake Weighing Systems believes social responsibility is essential to the company’s long-term success.
This is reflected in Rice Lake’s relationships and actions within our workplaces and of the workplaces of those
who are authorized to directly supply our business.

Scope

This policy applies to Rice Lake Weighing Systems and all of its worldwide locations,
including subsidiaries within the Rice Lake Weighing Systems family of companies.
It may also refer to our suppliers and business partners.

Policy Elements

Rice Lake Weighing Systems strives to be a responsible business that meets high standards of ethics and professionalism.
The company’s social responsibility falls under two categories: compliance and proactiveness. Compliance refers to Rice Lake’s commitment to legality and obligation to observe community values. Proactiveness includes initiatives that go above and beyond
legal requirements. These may promote human rights, help communities and/or protect the environment.

PROACTIVENESS

Strive to protect the natural environment

Rice Lake Weighing Systems is dedicated to protecting human rights. We are a committed equal opportunity employer and will abide by all fair labor practices. Rice Lake strives to ensures that our activities do not directly or indirectly violate human rights in any country.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems considers mining activities that fuel conflict as unacceptable. As a privately held corporation, we are not subject to the Dodd-Frank rules; however, as a supplier to many publicly traded companies, Rice Lake has developed trade compliance standards requiring our vendors to verify the inclusion of any concerned minerals in products supplied to Rice Lake Weighing Systems.

  • Audits are performed to evaluate supplier compliance with company standards, and verification is periodically completed through an annual self-assessment.
  • Any discrepancies are immediately reported to our publicly traded business partners as part of their ongoing efforts for compliance.
  • Rice Lake Weighing Systems rejects the use of child and slave labor, and all forms of human trafficking. This position is communicated to our suppliers. Audits are preformed to evaluate supplier compliance with company standards for trafficking and slavery in supply chains, and verification is periodically completed through independent audits and/or self- and/or Rice Lake Weighing Systems’ assessments.
  • Our suppliers are expected to certify that they use only materials in their products that comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the country in which they are doing business.

Apart from legal obligations, Rice Lake Weighing Systems takes steps to proactively protect the environment.
Examples of relevant activities include:

Rice Lake Weighing Systems wishes to be proactive to Proposition 65 and provide information about the products we produce, distribute and use to manufacture equipment we sell. One or more chemicals included in the California Proposition 65 list may be present in Rice Lake Weighing Systems products and workplaces. Click link see Rice Lake Weighing Systems full statement.
