TRANSPARENCY IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

At BADBOY TENNIS, we are committed to respecting human rights wherever we operate. We do not tolerate forced labor, bonded labor, human trafficking, or any form of modern slavery in our business or supply chain.

About this statement

This statement describes the steps we take to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain for the period 2026.

This statement applies to BADBOY TENNIS LLC.

Our business and supply chain

BADBOY TENNIS is an apparel brand designed in New York City (est. 2020) and sold primarily through our ecommerce channels.

Our supply chain typically includes:

  • Apparel and trim suppliers (including blanks or cut-and-sew partners, depending on the product)

  • Decoration and finishing partners (printing, embroidery, labeling)

  • Packaging suppliers

  • Warehousing, fulfillment, and logistics providers

Our standards and expectations

We aim to work with partners who share our values and maintain lawful, safe, and respectful working conditions.

We expect our suppliers and service providers to uphold standards aligned with internationally recognized human rights and labor principles, including:

  • Freely chosen employment and no forced labor or trafficking

  • No child labor and protections for young workers

  • Legal wages and benefits, and working hours consistent with local law

  • Safe and hygienic workplaces

  • No discrimination, harassment, or abuse

  • Freedom of association and collective bargaining, where permitted by law

  • Ethical recruitment practices, including protections for migrant workers where relevant

  • No unauthorized subcontracting for BADBOY TENNIS production without disclosure and approval

Due diligence and supplier selection

We take a risk-based approach to supplier selection and oversight.

Depending on the partner and the service provided, our due diligence may include:

  • Basic onboarding questions about workforce practices and subcontracting

  • Requests for relevant certifications or audit summaries where available (for example, credible third-party social compliance programs)

  • Contract terms requiring compliance with applicable labor laws and our standards

  • Periodic review of higher-risk categories, geographies, or services

Where issues are identified, we prioritize corrective action and remediation over simply walking away, unless a partner is unwilling to address serious concerns.

Identifying and managing risk

Modern slavery risks can exist in many industries, including apparel and logistics. The risk can be higher in parts of the supply chain that involve complex subcontracting, recruitment fees, or vulnerable worker populations.

We focus our attention on practical risk controls, including:

  • Favoring partners with transparent operations and traceable subcontracting

  • Asking direct questions about labor brokers and recruitment fees where relevant

  • Watching for red flags such as unusually low pricing, unrealistic turnaround times, or reluctance to share basic workforce information

Reporting concerns and grievance mechanism

We encourage anyone with concerns about labor practices connected to BADBOY TENNIS to speak up.

Reports can be made by emailing dr@badboytennis.com with the subject line “Supply Chain Concern.”

We review reports seriously and aim to handle them promptly and discreetly. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith is not tolerated.

Training and awareness

Because modern slavery risks often hide in day-to-day decisions, we work to build awareness internally and, where appropriate, with partners involved in sourcing, production, and fulfillment.

Training may include:

  • Recognizing common indicators of forced labor and trafficking

  • Understanding higher-risk scenarios (recruitment fees, subcontracting, migrant worker vulnerability)

  • What to do if a concern or red flag is identified

Measuring effectiveness

As a growing brand, we focus on right-sized, trackable measures. Depending on the year, these may include:

  • Percentage of core suppliers that have acknowledged our standards

  • Number of supplier reviews or assessments completed

  • Number of issues identified and addressed through corrective actions

  • Progress toward clearer material and production traceability where feasible

Looking ahead

Over the next year, we plan to strengthen transparency in our supply chain by improving supplier documentation, tightening expectations around subcontracting disclosures, and expanding the consistency of our internal review process as we scale.
