'If a supplier is rated ‘zero tolerance’, we will not engage that supplier, and/or will prepare an exit strategy to promptly cease any existing business relationship. Zero tolerance factors include: • Using child labour, prison, forced, indentured, or bonded labour; • Not granting access to all relevant records, workers, and areas of the factory to our vendor compliance evaluator; and/or• Falsifying documents (e.g. time cards in contradiction to production records). 44. If a supplier receives an ‘immediate action’ rating, we will work with the supplier to make necessary corrections in relation to the identified issue. However, if changes are not implemented within an agreed timeframe, we may upgrade the supplier rating to zero tolerance and proceed towards ending the supplier relationship. ' pg 10
