Xiamen Daren Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. (“ Daren”) is committed to provide independent, objective, fair, and impartial third-party services, including inspection, factory audits and facility assessments, to clients both domestically and internationally. It accurately documents and reports various findings to its clients. To ensure that all relevant personnel adhere to professional ethics, integrity, and legality, and to guarantee Daren's independence in implementing inspection, factory audits and facility assessment processes ("verification work") and the objectivity and fairness of reporting results, Daren invites you and your factories (referred to collectively as "both Parties," individually as a "Party") to collaborate. Both Parties will mutually supervise, promptly communicate feedback, and collaboratively create a transparent working environment. Together, they make the following joint declaration:
I. Both you and Daren have zero tolerance for bribery, extortion, and bribery reception by each party's employees and personnel. Neither Party shall engage in any financial/material transactions with the other Party and/or its employees or personnel. Additionally, each Party must ensure that its employees and personnel refrain from any financial/material transactions with the other Party and/or its employees or personnel without legitimate reasons.
II. In the event that an employee or personnel of either Party directly or indirectly requests remuneration, benefits, engages in improper conduct, or commits any other actions contrary to this joint declaration, the other Party should retain evidence or records and contact the official reporting mailbox of that Party:
1. To Daren:drscm_compliance@allbrightlaw.com(external legal counsel)
2. To you:[Insert email address]
III. Each Party must ensure the smooth operation of the complaint channel, maintain the confidentiality of complaint information, and guarantee the fairness of subsequent works. Both Parties commit to provide feedback on all complaints within one week. If a complaint is substantiated, the Party in violation of this joint declaration will exclude the individuals involved from verification work and impose penalties, including termination of employment contracts/labor contracts/service contracts. In cases with severe criminal implications, they will be referred to the public security authorities.
IV. You guarantee that you and your factories will not engage in bribery and ensure that this requirement is clearly communicated to all QC, factory, and related personnel. If you and/or its factories engage in any proactive bribery towards Daren's employees or personnel (including money, red envelopes, gifts, valuable vouchers, etc.), or violate any other terms of this joint declaration, Daren's employees or personnel will promptly report to Daren. If confirmed, Daren will immediately report to the client. Daren will not be held responsible for any reassessment or cooperative impacts on you by the client. If the compensation is not sufficient to cover Daren's losses, you shall also be liable for the damages and losses Daren suffers.
V. Due to the client(s)’ requests arising from services or business cooperation, you and your factories are not obligated to provide any meals or gifts to Daren's employees or personnel.
