"(1) Verification of product supply chains to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery.

HanesBrands itself regularly performs evaluations of its supply chain to evaluate the risk of slavery, human trafficking and other human rights violations and labor issues. Further verification efforts are described in detail below."

pg. 2-3

"For all owned and finished goods contractors, an independent third-party audit team from an internationally recognized audit firm conducts an unannounced, comprehensive factory assessment before production begins. Thereafter, the audit process is repeated annually. These independent, third-party audits include an initial management interview; facility and dormitory (if applicable) tours; payroll analysis; confidential employee interviews that cover such issues as working hours, payment practices, freedom of association, forced labor, child labor and disciplinary practices; and a closing meeting with management. These audits use an objective, scored methodology and have over 260 separate questions. HanesBrands conducts over 500 audits/year using external auditors and also has a team of over a dozen internal auditors around the globe who work with facilities through the corrective action process."
