Since it mentions 'standards for working conditions and safe work', we have also considered 'suppliers respect labor rights'.

pg. 3

“All such partners are subject to strict contractual conditions, including Ted’s Ethical Code of Conduct.”

Pg. 4

“All our sourcing partners and suppliers agree to Ted’s five minimum ethical and sustainability requirements (listed below) by signing up to Ted’s Ethical Code of Conduct which outlines our standards on working conditions, business ethics, transparency, environmental stewardship, use of chemicals and animal welfare.”

Pg. 5

“Teds Ethical Code of Conduct is the cornerstone of our ethical values and sets out the minimum standards for safe, fair and decent work demanded from our suppliers. Ted’s Ethical Code of Conduct is based on international conventions such as The Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, the Core Conventions of the International Labour Organisation, and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Acts.”

“We have also published our Vulnerable Workers Policy to recognise that whilst Ted wants to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, we know that some workers are at greater risk of exploitation, and potentially of modern slavery. This policy sets the standard for protecting the most vulnerable workers in Ted’s supply chain, including;

- Migrant Workers; - Homeworkers; - Child Labour and Young Workers (including our Child Labour Remediation Process); - Temporary, Casual, Agency or Short Term Contracts; - Other Vulnerable Workers (including women, indigenous people, persons with disabilities).”
