'DUE DILIGENCE
AUDIT AND REMEDIATION
Myer assesses factories against a set of principles utilising the key criteria’s of the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI), which ensures at a minimum, that all Private Brand suppliers have management systems in place covering all factories. It also includes a requirement to recognise the rights of all workers and to treat them with dignity, respect and equally providing them an environment that is free from discrimination, abuse and harassment, and is considered in line by international community standards. In addition all workers must be protected against forced or child labour, be compensated fairly for their work, and be allowed freedom of association and the right to collectively bargain’ – 8
'FAIR WAGES
Myer has and will always encourage factories to pay a fair and adequate wage for the work that is being done in compliance, at minimum with local laws. This includes being paid correctly in line with entitlements and fair in relation to their position within the organisation.
Myer acknowledges that the payment of just wages and the continued improvement of wages and working conditions cannot be achieved in isolation, and places a strong emphasis on working with other retailers and non-government organisations to enact change. Myer is open to, and supports, NGO's (non-governmental organisations) and relevant parties lobbying with respective governments to ensure that wages are fair, in line with the work being conducted and is adequate to meet living standards.' - 9
