We will seek appropriate legal remedies from Business Partners who are in violation of our Code of Conduct.

We require assurances from our suppliers that they have not committed any modern slavery offences, and that they aren't aware of any investigations or prosecutions within their own supply chains.

We also include a contractual requirement for suppliers to comply with the Business Partner Code of Conduct. In addition, our suppliers are required to notify us immediately if they (or anyone within their own supply chain) has infringed any modern slavery laws. Concerns or violations relating to this Code can be raised confidentially via the Speak Up hotline at ethics@bytedance.com, without the fear of retaliation. We ensure that the reported concerns and violations are addressed in a timely manner and in an appropriate way. p. 2
