"Policies to Prevent Forced Labor and Human Trafficking

We have published our commitment to safeguarding human rights in the supply chain in our Human Rights Policy."

 

"Human Rights and Working Environments in Our Supply Chain

In keeping with our mission, we perform due diligence throughout our supply chain to identify human trafficking,slave labor, or other human rights issues, and ensure that our products are manufactured ethically within the wholeprocess. To remain abreast of the latest knowledge and information related to these issues, we seek out theopinions of audit firms, consultants, and other industry experts. At the same time, we regularly review materialspublished by groups engaged in human rights issues.We created the Code of Conduct for Production Partners to reflect our commitment to ethical business activitiesand principles of respect for human rights. This Code of Conduct prohibits the use of child labor, forced labor,human trafficking, oppression, or harassment. We also require all business partners comply with related laws andstatutes. Our partner factories are obligated to honor this Code of Conduct, pledging their compliance."

• No workers pay for their jobs
