The company has a publicly available policy statement committing it to respect the right not to be subject to child labour, forced labour and discrimination. Further, it states that it supports international human rights principles, including the International Labour Organization’s Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights to Work. However, the term used 'supports' is too weak to be considered as a formal policy commitment. Also, no evidence found that the company has a publicly available policy statement committing it to respecting the right of freedom of association and collective bargaining.
