"(4) Internal accountability standards and procedures for employees or contractors failing to meet company standards regarding slavery and trafficking.

HanesBrands maintains internal accountability standards and procedures applicable to both employees and contractors who may fail to meet company standards. We work to continually develop and monitor our group policies and procedures that are aimed at enhancing integrity and ethical behavior so that they are consistent with good industry practice and properly reflect the contemporary state of applicable law and regulation.

With regard to any issues identified in compliance audits of foreign manufacturers, a formal corrective action plan is developed with specific timeframes in which to correct the problems. Our internal audit teams around the globe then visit these factories on an unannounced basis to confirm adherence to the corrective action requirements. While we will typically provide 30 to 90 days for factories to correct minor issues, we generally consider things such as forced/prison labor, slavery, human trafficking, child labor, physical/sexual abuse, and bribery of an auditor to be zero-tolerance issues requiring immediate remediation or withdrawal from the facility, depending on the circumstances.

Those facilities that are “disapproved” for zero-tolerance or other violations not remediated in a timely manner are noted on a companywide “Disapproved List” that is routed to members of our senior management and sourcing teams. Such facilities remain “disapproved” for a minimum of one year. We also closely track facilities on our internal “Alarm List” that are not progressing adequately in the corrective-action process. The “Alarm List” is also routed to appropriate members of our management team, so they can exert the appropriate influence needed to spur timely corrective action."
