We also have a Code of Conduct that is applicable to all of the Company’s suppliers (including our third-party manufacturers and product licensees) (as amended as of May 23, 2017, the “Supplier Code”). The Supplier Code expressly prohibits the use of any form of slave, forced, bonded, indentured, or prison labor in any stage of the manufacture of our products. All work must be voluntary and workers must be free to terminate their employment at any time, without penalty. Involuntary labor includes the transportation, harboring, recruitment, transfer, receipt, or employment of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, fraud, or payments to any person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation. Our suppliers must ensure that no fees or costs have been charged, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to job-seekers and workers for their services directly related to recruitment for temporary or permanent job placement, including when using the services of private recruitment, labor broker or employment agent or performing recruitment activities directly. Workers must not be required to pay employers’ or their agents’ recruitment fees or other similar fees (such as host country fees like levies, fees for work permit, or fees for renewing work documents, or home country fees like visa fees, medical checks, or any other costs that are not the legal responsibility of the worker) to obtain their employment. We also require that our suppliers must repay such fees to the worker if such fees are found to have been paid by workers. Workers must receive a written contract in a language understood by the workers stating in a truthful, clear manner their rights and responsibilities in connection with their employment
