Ethical Trading Policy
We actively monitor all of our supply chains with a view to ensure that our suppliers are aware of and working towards applying the International Base Code to their own suppliers to provide a moral code for the treatment of workers across the World.
Within our supply chains, we pay attention to those areas we consider presenting the highest risk of non-conformity with this Base Code. These Guidelines require sites to ensure that:
- Child labor is not used
- There is no forced and bonded labor
- Ethical recruitment practices are used
- The health and safety of workers is protected
- Employment contracts are provided to all workers
- Wages meet minimum requirements or national norms as a minimum
- Working hours meet legal requirements and are not excessive
- The company respects diversity within its workforce
- Harassment and abuse are not tolerated
- There is clear and readily accessible access to remedy
- Accommodation is safe and hygienic
- Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining is respected
