Each assessment identifies areas for improvement and a detailed corrective action plan, including actions, responsible partiesand timelines. Regular follow-up visits are also conducted to ensure suppliers are completing their corrective action plans on a timely basis. We conduct both announced and unannounced assessments.2

Where a business partner or supplier fails to meet our standards, or comply with any of our TOE, they are given a short period to correct the problem. If, on our next inspection, certain cases of non-compliance have not been resolved within a timely manner, Levi Strauss & Co. has rights, where appropriate, to terminate the business relationship.2
