Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Impinj, Inc. does not procure or trade physical commodities typically associated with fair-trade certifications, leading to an N/A score for fair_trade_cert_share.

The company requires its suppliers to utilize smelters and refineries that conform to an independent third-party responsible minerals sourcing program by completing the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) template.
2
Impinj performs due diligence and regularly requests conflict minerals reports from subcontractors using the RMI reporting template, and files a Form SD with the SEC.
3
This indicates that conflict minerals, which are high-risk, are present in the supply chain and subject to mitigation efforts. Impinj has adopted the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct as its Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits forced and child labor, and expects its entire supply chain to implement similar human rights commitments.

Impinj may ask suppliers for acknowledgment or evidence of compliance, conduct audits, or require self-audit reports, and may ask for remediation plans for noncompliance.
