(“the Companies,”) do not engage in or condone the
unlawful employment or exploitation of children in the
workplace. Further, the Companies do not engage in or
condone the use of forced labor.
The Companies do
not employ persons below the age of 15, or the local
minimum employment age or mandatory schooling age,
which ever is higher. Some subsidiaries have a higher
minimum age.
The Companies are committed to
working in cooperation with their suppliers and business
partners to gain their understanding and acceptance of
responsibility for not engaging in or condoning the use
of forced labor or the unlawful use or exploitation of
children in the labor market.
The Companies are
committed to working with other stakeholders to find
practical, meaningful and culturally appropriate
responses to support the progressive elimination of the
use of forced labor and the unlawful or exploitative use
of children in the labor markets related to our business
supply chain.
The Companies endorse the need for
appropriate international and national initiatives to
establish and enforce requirements for a minimum working
age and standards against forced labor. We also support
efforts that provide access to education and adequate
safeguards and protection for children and young people
who are lawfully employed.
To implement these
commitments, the Companies will commit resources,
institute appropriate management systems,
accountabilities, monitoring processes and regular
reviews to ensure progress against our objectives and to
establish mechanisms for problem identification and
remediation where appropriate.
