This document discusses the creation of a network called Made in a Free World (MIAFW) to address issues of forced labor and slavery in global supply chains. It outlines a 3-step process for companies to participate: 1) Determine their "enterprise footprint" risk level, 2) Analyze high-risk areas and next steps, and 3) Engage in partnership through assessment, remediation, and best practices sharing. The goal is to leverage collective business influence through data and knowledge sharing to identify, address and prevent forced labor vulnerabilities collaboratively.

1) What is your methodology for determining whether any 1st Tier supplier, including those who supply raw materials, obtain and employ labor under conditions that violate laws prohibiting slavery and human trafficking in the
country in which the goods enter the supply chain or which would violate laws of the United States of America relating to the importation of goods tainted by slavery and human trafficking.
Specifically how does your company:

__Honor the role and voice of the worker as the best check on abuse?
__Provide for independent, unannounced, and thorough audits?
__Provide effective whistleblower and complaint procedures?
__Provide clear guidelines for security procedures throughout their supply chains to ensure that security forces are not used to intimidate, hold, or abuse workers throughout their supply chains?

__Provide internal accountability for employees or contractors failing to meet company standards on this issue?
__Comply with local laws related to slavery and trafficking in persons as well as ILO Conventions?

__the procurement of commercial sex acts, or the use of forced labor;
