CODE OF CONDUCT FOR
MANUFACTURERS
At The
Xxxx Disney Company, we are committed to:
|
·
|
a
standard of excellence in every aspect of our business and in every corner
of the world;
|
|
·
|
ethical
and responsible conduct in all of our
operations;
|
|
·
|
respect
for the rights of all individuals;
and
|
|
·
|
respect
for the environment.
|
We expect
these same commitments to be shared by all manufacturers of Disney merchandise.
At a minimum, we
require that all manufacturers of Disney merchandise meet the following
standards:
Child Labor Manufacturers will not use
child labor.
The term
“child” refers to a person younger than 15 (or 14 where local law allows) or, if
higher, the local legal minimum age for employment or the age for completing
compulsory education.
Manufacturers
employing young persons who do not fall within the definition of “children” will
also comply with any laws and regulations applicable to such
persons.
|
Involuntary
Labor
|
Manufacturers
will not use any forced or involuntary labor, whether prison, bonded,
indentured or otherwise.
|
|
Coercion
and
Harassment
|
Manufacturers
will treat each employee with dignity and respect, and will not use
corporal punishment, threats of violence or other forms of physical,
sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or
abuse.
|
|
Nondiscrimination
|
Manufacturers
will not discriminate in hiring and employment practices, including
salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on
the basis of race, religion, age, nationality, social or ethnic origin,
sexual orientation, gender, political opinion or
disability.
|
|
Association
|
Manufacturers
will respect the rights of employees to associate, organize and bargain
collectively in a lawful and peaceful manner, without penalty or
interference.
|
|
Health and
Safety
|
Manufacturers
will provide employees with a safe and healthy workplace in compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring at a minimum reasonable
access to potable water and sanitary facilities; fire safety; and adequate
lighting and ventilation. Manufacturers will also ensure that the same
standards of health and safety are applied in any housing that they
provide for employees.
|
|
|
14
|
|
Compensation
|
We
expect manufacturers to recognize that wages are essential to meeting
employees’ basic needs. Manufacturers will, at a minimum, comply with all
applicable wage and hour laws and regulations, including those relating to
minimum wages, overtime, maximum hours, piece rates and other elements of
compensation, and provide legally mandated benefits. Except in
extraordinary business circumstances, manufacturers will not require
employees to work more than the lesser of (a) 48 hours per week and 12
hours overtime or (b) the limits on regular and overtime hours allowed by
local law or, where local law does not limit the hours of work, the
regular work week plus 12 hours overtime. In addition, except in
extraordinary business circumstances, employees will be entitled to at
least one day off in every seven-day
period.
|
Manufacturers
will compensate employees for overtime hours at such premium rate as is legally
required or, if there is no legally prescribed premium rate, at a rate at least
equal to the regular hourly compensation rate.
Where
local industry standards are higher than applicable legal requirements, we
expect manufacturers to meet the higher standards.
Protection
of the
|
Environment
|
Manufacturers
will comply with all applicable environmental laws and
regulations.
|
|
Other
Laws
|
Manufacturers
will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those
pertaining to the manufacture, pricing, sale and distribution of
merchandise. All references to “applicable laws and regulations” in this
Code of Conduct include local and national codes, rules and regulations as
well as applicable treaties and voluntary industry
standards.
|
|
Subcontracting
|
Manufacturers
will not use subcontractors for the manufacture of Disney merchandise or
components thereof without Disney’s express written consent, and only
after the subcontractor has entered into a written commitment with Disney
to comply with this Code of
Conduct.
|
Monitoring
and
|
|
Compliance
|
Manufacturers
will authorize Disney and its designated agents (including third parties)
to engage in monitoring activities to confirm compliance with this Code of
Conduct, including unannounced on-site inspections of manufacturing
facilities and employer-provided housing; reviews of books and records
relating to employment matters; and private interviews with employees.
Manufacturers will maintain on site all documentation that may be needed
to demonstrate compliance with this Code of
Conduct.
|
|
Publication
|
Manufacturers
will take appropriate steps to ensure that the provisions of this Code of
Conduct are communicated to employees, including the prominent posting of
a copy of this Code of Conduct, in the local language and in a place
readily accessible to employees, at all
times.
