The company reports overtime may not exceed legal limits, so considered it as a prohibition and provides evidence of compliance for the same.

 

Supplier code of conduct, pg. 2

"Working hours: Working hours: Our suppliers must comply with all local laws and regulations applicable with respect to working hours, which shall not in any case exceed the maximum set by internationally recognized standards such as the International Labour Organization. Our suppliers may not impose excessive overtime hours. The total number of hours worked per week including overtime may not exceed legal limits. Workers are entitled to the minimum number of days off established by applicable laws and at minimum must have at least one day off in every seven-day period."

"A STRINGENT AUDIT POLICY

The Group’s traceability policy includes making its suppliers and sub-contractors accountable. A code of conduct, translated into 20 languages and updated in 2017, urges them to strictly apply ethical, social and environmental standards and regulations, use techniques that preserve natural resources, and implement an environmental management system.

LVMH conducts compliance audits to ensure that they adopt sustainable practices. In 2019, the Group’s Maisons carried out 1,589 social and/or environmental audits of 1,261 suppliers across all its businesses—Italian Maison Acqua di Parma, for example, conducted 15 last year. Supply chain audits were also carried out, including one into South African-sourced Mohair in the summer of 2019. In addition, LVMH has developed two environmental audit checklists for its buyers and offers training in how to use them at the Environment Academy."
