Global Manufacturing & Sourcing

All work performed within the MICA Industrial supply chain must be freely chosen. We prohibit every form of forced, bonded, trafficked, or compulsory labour — including practices that restrict workers' freedom of movement or withhold their identity documents.

• Workers must be free to terminate employment with reasonable notice and without financial penalty
• No supplier may hold, retain, or confiscate passports, identity documents, or personal belongings
• Recruitment fees must never be charged to workers — all such costs are borne by the employer
• Debt bondage, wage withholding, and coercive deposit schemes are strictly prohibited
• Suppliers must conduct regular audits of sub-contractors for forced labour risk

MICA Industrial supports the Employer Pays Principle. All recruitment — whether direct or via third-party agencies — must be conducted ethically, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable law.

• All recruitment agencies used by suppliers must be vetted and approved in advance
• Workers must receive written contracts in a language they understand before commencing work
• Employment terms, wages, working hours, and benefits must be accurately disclosed at point of offer
• No worker may be recruited under false pretenses, misleading job descriptions, or deceptive contracts
• Migrant workers must receive equivalent protections to local workers under MICA's standards

MICA Industrial expects all supply chain partners to operate responsibly in relation to the environment — minimising pollution, managing waste appropriately, and continuously reducing their environmental footprint.

• Full compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations in the country of operation
• No illegal disposal of hazardous waste, chemicals, or effluent into waterways, land, or atmosphere
• Suppliers are encouraged to measure, report, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions
• Resource efficiency — energy, water, raw materials — must be actively managed and improved
• Suppliers must maintain valid environmental permits and make them available for review on request

Workers in the MICA supply chain must have access to safe, confidential, and accessible channels to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. MICA Industrial operates its own grievance mechanism for supply chain partners and workers.

• All suppliers must establish and communicate at least one accessible worker grievance channel
• Grievances must be recorded, investigated promptly, and resolved with documented outcomes
• No worker may face retaliation, demotion, dismissal, or harassment for raising a legitimate concern
• Workers must be informed about MICA Industrial's own external grievance channel
• MICA reserves the right to investigate complaints raised directly by workers in partner facilities

MICA Industrial conducts human rights and environmental due diligence across our supply chain in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and emerging mandatory due diligence legislation globally.

• Suppliers must cooperate fully with MICA's due diligence assessments, audits, and risk mapping
• High-risk suppliers and geographies are subject to enhanced scrutiny and corrective action monitoring
• MICA will identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for adverse human rights and environmental impacts
• Suppliers are expected to cascade due diligence requirements to their own sub-contractors
• MICA publishes its due diligence approach and material findings in its annual ESG Report

Every worker in the MICA supply chain has the right to a safe, healthy, and dignified working environment. Our OHS requirements apply to all production facilities, warehouses, logistics operations, and any other workplace in our supply chain.

• Suppliers must comply with all applicable occupational health and safety laws and regulations
• Adequate PPE must be provided at no cost to workers in all roles where hazards exist
• Emergency procedures, fire exits, first aid, and safety signage must be maintained at all times
• Working hours must comply with legal limits — excessive overtime must not be used as a routine practice
• All workplace accidents and near-misses must be recorded, investigated, and remediated

MICA Industrial is committed to identifying and eliminating modern slavery in all its forms — including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and servitude — across our entire supply chain. We publish an annual Modern Slavery Disclosure Statement in compliance with applicable legislation.

• MICA conducts annual modern slavery risk assessments across all supply chain tiers
• All new suppliers in high-risk categories undergo mandatory pre-qualification screening
• Staff involved in sourcing and procurement receive regular modern slavery awareness training
• Suspected incidents must be reported immediately — MICA will act swiftly on all credible reports
• Our annual disclosure statement is published on this website and filed in accordance with applicable law
