"• Foot Locker’s Global Sourcing Guidelines: Foot Locker fosters responsible business practices of our branded vendors and private label suppliers with the annual distribution of the Global Sourcing Guidelines (“Guidelines”). The Guidelines contain, among other requirements, the following:
o Child Labor. Child labor is not permissible. Workers may not be younger than 15 years of age (or 14 where local law permits) or the age for completing compulsory education, if higher.
o Forced Labor. Forced labor, whether in the form of prison labor, slave labor, indentured labor, bonded labor or otherwise is not permissible. Employment must always be on a voluntary basis.
o Wages and Benefits. Foot Locker will only deal with suppliers who compensate their employees fairly by providing wages, overtime premiums and benefits that, at very least, comply with legally mandated minimum standards.
o Harassment and Abuse. Foot Locker expects all employees to be treated with respect and dignity. Thus, Foot Locker will not deal with suppliers whose employees are subjected to physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse.
Foot Locker’s Guidelines require all vendors and suppliers globally to respect certain stated standards. Foot Locker’s Guidelines:
o are distributed annually to both our branded vendors and private label suppliers.
o reflect Foot Locker’s abiding commitment to the safety and fair treatment of the workers who manufacture the products we sell. Foot Locker is paying attention to the working conditions and employment standards of manufacturing employees worldwide.
o are designed to make clear that we expect the product that we sell in our stores to be manufactured in compliance with local laws, under working conditions that meet certain standards, and without the use of child labor, prison labor, or any form of slave labor.
o make it clear that Foot Locker is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share our values regarding human rights and environmental responsibility.
o are incorporated into our Vendor Standards Manual."
"Foot Locker will only do business with suppliers whose workers are present voluntarily, compensated fairly, allowed the right of free association and who are neither put at risk of physical harm, discriminated against, nor exploited in anyway." p. 3
