"(...) all factories must provide a recent audit done by an accredited, external third-party. Based on the findings of the audit, a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is developed and we ask our suppliers and their factories to demonstrate improvement in all identified areas. No orders can be placed without setting up a factory on our system and this is only done if it meets all our ethical requirements as laid down in our Code of Conduct.

If a critical non-compliance (NC) is found at an existing factory, we require evidence of improvement to continue our business relationship."
