p. 5 "We strictly prohibit any type of forced labour in our supply chain, regardless of the market or region."

 

"We place specific requirements on all our business partners, and they are required to sign and implement our Sustainability Commitment for Business Partners. This commitment clearly states that: “forced labour, bonded, prison or illegal labour is not accepted."

 

"Employees shall not be required to lodge ‘deposits’ or identity papers with their employer and shall be free to leave their employment after reasonable notice. The employee’s freedom of movement is not restricted. No part of their wages is withheld.”

 

"All business partners are continuously trained in or kept informed about our commitments and policies and their content."

 

"Announced our goal of no recruitment fees in our supply chain by 2025."

 

"Our Sustainability Commitment also states that child labour is not accepted."
