"The Company discloses ' we require our owned facilities and suppliers to work no more than 48 regular hours / week plus 12 hours overtime, other than in extraordinary circumstances. We routinely audit against this at our owned and supplier facilities as part of our scored audit process. ' However, the 'extraordinary circumstances' clause shows that this is not always implemented. Furthermore, the Company has not indicated that it respects applicable international standards and national laws and regulations concerning minimum breaks and rest periods in its own operations."
