Fundamental principle in our Code of Conduct.
Trainings initiated by New Wave Group as well as training within the
context of amfori BSCI and the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in
Bangladesh.
Termination of cooperation with a supplier may occur if a zero tolerance
issue reveals (child labor, serious health and safety risks, substitution
of subcontractor without prior approval and refusal to be audited) are
detected, but if we identify non-compliances, we prefer to develop an
action plan in order to bring the supplier back to an acceptable standard,
rather than to end our cooperation.
During 2018 one zero-tolerance incident has been reported. The infring-
ment relates to ”Unethical Business Behaviour” during audit at one of our
suppliers in China.
