California Supply Chains Act
The Galpin family of auto dealerships and related businesses do not support or condone human trafficking or slavery. Galpin believes that its manufacturer partners are in the best position to audit their respective supply chains to address this important issue. Therefore, as a franchised dealer of multiple vehicle manufacturers, we rely on the efforts of our franchisor partners with respect to the supply chain for all vehicles and parts sold here in California.
Accordingly, Galpin does not independently verify or audit our manufacturers’ supply chain, require our manufacturers to certify that parts and materials comply with slavery or human trafficking laws, maintain internal accountability standards, or provide employee training on the prevention of human trafficking. For efforts taken by our manufacturers, please visit their websites at the links provided below.
