Anti-Slavery

Our Anti-Slavery Statement demonstrates our commitment to ensure that our suppliers respect human rights. Snap Inc. requires our suppliers to certify that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in their businesses. And as we explain below, we verify those commitments through a detailed risk assessment and auditing process.

Making Products the Right Way

At Snap Inc., we work to make products responsibly. That’s why we’re committed to safeguarding human rights, labor rights, health and safety, and the environment in our supply chain. Snap Inc. is a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and fully supports the RBA’s vision and goals. 

Audits and Remediation

We use a risk assessment methodology and, where appropriate, conduct third-party supplier audits to assess compliance with the above standards. But we do more than hold our suppliers responsible for meeting these standards; we also provide them the support they need to do so. If we think that a supplier can correct its missteps, we look to use experienced third parties to work with the supplier to develop an effective corrective action plan. Working with suppliers to improve labor and environmental conditions is fundamental to our program.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Our Supplier Code of Conduct codifies the standards we expect our suppliers to meet to ensure safe working conditions, fair worker treatment, and responsible environmental practices. It includes social-responsibility standards drawn from the RBA Code of Conduct, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other guiding principles of international law. 

Among other things, the Code requires suppliers to uphold workers’ human rights and treat workers with dignity and respect; reject any use of forced or child labor; set reasonable working hours; avoid discrimination; and conform to industry-standard health and safety practices. The Code also requires our suppliers to respect the environment by obtaining required permits, minimizing pollution, and safely managing hazardous substances. And the Code requires our suppliers to uphold the highest standards of ethics by, for example, rejecting commercial bribery and respecting third parties’ intellectual-property rights.
