"4. Internal Accountability. Express will not work with those who are unable or unwilling to meet our standards. We maintain policies and procedures which govern the consequences of non-compliance by associates or suppliers. Suppliers are informed of these policies and procedures and the consequences of non-compliance through receipt of a compliance guidebook. If any one of our suppliers falls below the standards listed in our Supplier Code of Conduct, we attempt to bring them into compliance by supporting them in making the necessary changes through corrective action plans."
