“When any such violations are found, factories are required to remedy the matter immediately. If a zero-tolerance issue is found, or a serious issue is found again after a previous assessment, the matter is escalated to the Business Ethics Committee, which determines whether to terminate or modify the business relationship. This occurs in parallel with measures being discussed with the factory and close monitoring until improvement is completed.”

Pg. 6

“The conventional monitoring program was audit-centric and tended to focus on corrective actions for issues found in audits. Now, under the SLCP, factories are expected to establish a cycle of identifying issues in the working environment, then executing improvement actions through their own systems.”

Pg. 8

“Fast Retailing also found more grievances on harassment in Bangladesh. It sent warnings to factory management and encouraged factories to establish a Complaint Committee. As a result, the number of grievances on harassment drastically decreased at factories which had many grievances in the first half of fiscal 2021.”

"When a human rights violation is identified, Fast Retailing requires the garment factory or the fabric mill to make improvements and corrections in line with ILO Fundamental Conventions, local labour laws and the Code of Conduct for Production Partners and follows up the corrective action until resolved."

Pg. 11

“When terminating a business relationship with a factory, it is required to set an appropriate exit time considering the financial impact and employment situation at the factory, and to monitor and confirm there are no potential worker or human rights violations that might occur as a result of the closing business relationship.”
