What We’re Doing Now
We’ve set strong standards for our suppliers and offer them assistance when corrections need to be made to their business practices. Adherence to those standards informs our sourcing decisions and ensures we are working with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical sourcing. Our buyers work directly with suppliers, negotiating contracts for the products we need in our operations or sell to our customers.
In 2015 we assessed most of our suppliers factories and found that few of them failed our zero-tolerance standards. Even though our approach is to work with suppliers to correct the issues, there are times when we halt business due to the nature of the issues and until adequate resolution takes place. While we were able to implement improvement plans with almost majority of these factories, we discontinued working with couple of factories as suppliers for standards issues. Since starting the program in 2012 itself, we are committed to continue and sustain this practice.
What We’ll Do Next
This year we are highlighting the importance of building strong manufacturing practice. This manifests itself through conversations around how to address the changing needs of workers, how to better protect the safety of workers, and how to create a sense of security in factories.
