FALSE ALARM LLC is committed to conducting its retail activities responsibly and to maintaining business relationships that respect fundamental human rights. We recognize that forced labor, human trafficking, slavery, debt bondage, child labor, and other forms of exploitation can occur in complex global supply networks. These practices can affect individuals in ways that are sometimes visible and sometimes difficult to identify, particularly when workers are exposed to economic hardship, restricted freedom, coercion, threats, recruitment-related debt, or other forms of pressure.

Our approach to responsible sourcing is based on the principle that people should be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. We believe workers should be able to perform their jobs voluntarily, receive appropriate information about their employment, retain control of their personal documents, and have the ability to leave employment in accordance with applicable laws and employment arrangements. We do not support practices that deprive individuals of meaningful freedom or use threats, intimidation, violence, or coercion to obtain labor or services.

This statement describes the principles that guide FALSE ALARM LLC in addressing the risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. While our role is that of an independent retailer, we recognize that responsible business practices extend beyond our immediate operations. Products can pass through multiple stages of manufacturing, processing, transportation, packaging, and distribution before reaching customers. For that reason, understanding supply relationships and encouraging responsible practices are important elements of our broader business standards.

FALSE ALARM LLC operates as an independent retailer offering authentic products from selected brands, including Lush products. We are not the manufacturer of every product we offer, and we do not represent ourselves as the corporate owner or operator of the brands whose products may be available through our retail activities. Nevertheless, we expect the products and business relationships associated with our operations to be handled with appropriate consideration for human rights, lawful employment, workplace safety, and ethical conduct.

Our expectations include respect for workers regardless of their position within a supply network. Suppliers, manufacturers, contractors, and other business partners should not permit physical abuse, sexual harassment, threats, intimidation, degrading treatment, or other forms of inhumane conduct in the workplace. Employment should be based on freely given consent, and workers should not be forced to work through threats, confinement, withheld wages, recruitment debts, confiscation of identity documents, or other coercive arrangements.

We also recognize the particular importance of preventing child labor. Children should not be placed in employment situations that interfere with education or expose them to dangerous, harmful, or inappropriate working conditions. Business partners should follow applicable minimum-age requirements and relevant labor standards and should take appropriate corrective measures if concerns involving underage workers are identified.

Freedom of movement is another important consideration. Workers should be able to move freely and should not be physically restricted as a method of controlling their employment. Personal identification documents, passports, permits, or other important papers should not be improperly retained by employers or intermediaries. Workers should have reasonable access to their own documentation and should not be prevented from leaving a workplace through coercive practices.

Transparency is also essential to identifying and addressing supply-chain risks. We encourage business partners to maintain accurate information about their operations and to be open about the organizations involved in manufacturing, processing, packaging, and supplying goods. Where subcontractors or additional production facilities are used, appropriate disclosure and traceability can help businesses better understand where risks may exist.

FALSE ALARM LLC recognizes that supply-chain responsibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time exercise. Risks can change as suppliers, production locations, materials, transportation routes, labor markets, and economic conditions change. We therefore support continued review of business relationships and responsible purchasing practices designed to encourage transparency and ethical conduct.

Where concerns are identified, we believe that communication and corrective action can be valuable tools. Depending on the nature and seriousness of an issue, appropriate responses may include requesting additional information, seeking clarification from a business partner, encouraging corrective measures, reviewing the relevant relationship, or taking other action considered appropriate under the circumstances. Serious or unresolved concerns may result in reconsideration of a business relationship.

We also understand that modern slavery can be difficult to detect because exploitation is not always openly visible. A worker may appear to have employment while facing hidden debt, threats against family members, immigration-related pressure, withheld wages, recruitment fees, or other circumstances that make genuine freedom of choice difficult. Responsible supply-chain practices therefore require attention to both obvious violations and less visible forms of vulnerability and coercion.

The experience of global disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated how economic instability can increase vulnerabilities among workers. Factory closures, reduced production, unemployment, interrupted transportation, and restricted access to workplaces and suppliers can create additional pressure on workers and communities. These circumstances reinforce the importance of maintaining awareness of human-rights risks during periods of economic or operational uncertainty.

Our commitment to responsible retail also includes maintaining appropriate communication with customers. We aim to provide clear information about our products and our role as an independent retailer. We do not intend to misrepresent our relationship with the brands we sell, and we seek to distinguish our independent retail operations from the corporate operations of the manufacturers and brand owners whose products may be offered through our store.

We believe responsible commerce should support long-term relationships rather than focus solely on short-term commercial outcomes. Ethical expectations are most effective when businesses, suppliers, manufacturers, and other partners understand them clearly and work together to identify problems and improve practices. We encourage responsible partners to maintain systems that support lawful employment, workplace dignity, transparency, and respect for fundamental human rights.

FALSE ALARM LLC will continue to review its approach as our retail activities develop and as expectations concerning responsible sourcing and human-rights protection evolve. Our objective is to operate with care, transparency, and accountability while encouraging responsible standards throughout the business relationships connected with our retail activities.
