Supply Chain Transparency

A Note About Glossier’s Supply Chain
pursuant to the
UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010

Glossier, Inc. (including its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Glossier”) is committed to doing business in an ethically responsible manner. Our company was founded and built on its community, which includes its customers and employees as well as vendors that develop, manufacture, supply, store, pack, and ship products on Glossier’s behalf (“vendors”). While Glossier does not own or operate any factories or warehouses, we seek to partner with vendors that embody Glossier’s core values in their own operations, including a commitment to human rights and worker safety, as well as to strong ethics and social and environmental responsibility.

We expect our vendors to be in full compliance with the applicable laws of the countries and regions where we and they operate, including all labor laws, and to respect the rights of their employees in accordance with internationally recognized standards. Glossier’s Partner Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”), which you can read in full below, sets out our zero-tolerance policy on any use of forced labor, prison labor, human trafficking, child labor, harassment, and abuse. We make it a point to provide the Code of Conduct and clearly communicate its requirements to our vendors. We’re committed to evolving our Code of Conduct and standards as needed to drive improved outcomes and enhanced value over time — these standards are integral to our sourcing strategies and set the foundation for determining the suppliers Glossier partners with.

Members of our supply chain and logistics teams may conduct visits to our vendors’ facilities to strengthen our relationships with our partners and see that our standards are being met. Glossier may also engage in audits of its vendors, either directly or through an independent firm, that provide the support and resources needed to help us identify, assess and manage labor issues throughout our supply chain and logistical operations. If we suspect that a vendor may be at risk of violating our Code of Conduct, we will launch an inquiry into the matter, and in the event that a potential violation of our Code of Conduct is identified, we will work with the vendor to address and correct the issue, as appropriate. We reserve the right to end our relationship with any vendor that has violated our Code of Conduct. When exploring prospective vendors, Glossier may conduct evaluations to ensure that they can comply with our Code of Conduct, which may include, without limitation, pre-engagement questionnaires and on-site visits.

Glossier aims to ensure that its employees who interact with vendors are knowledgeable of the risks related to human trafficking and slavery in the supply chain and logistical operations. To facilitate greater awareness, we provide training to educate those employees on such risks so they are better able to identify and address potential issues in the supply chain and logistical operations as appropriate. We maintain internal accountability standards and procedures for employees who fail to meet our standards of conduct, which align to the values stated in our Code of Conduct.
