Code of Conduct

The Company is committed to uphold the human rights of workers, and to treat them with dignity and respect as understood by the international community.

The labor standards are:

Freely Chosen Employment: Involuntary, bonded (including debt bondage) or indentured labor or exploitative prison labor, slavery or trafficking of persons shall not be used. This includes transporting, harboring, recruiting, transferring, or receiving persons by means of threat, coercion, abduction or fraud for labor or services. There shall be no unreasonable restrictions on workers’ freedom of movement in the facility in addition to unreasonable restrictions on entering or exiting company-provided facilities. All work must be voluntary and workers shall be free to leave work at any time or terminate their employment. Employers and agents may not hold or otherwise destroy, conceal, confiscate or deny access by employees to their identity or immigration documents, such as government-issued identification, passports or work permits, unless such holdings are required by law. Workers shall not be required to pay employers’ or agents’ recruitment fees or other related fees for their employment. If any such fees are

Child Labor Avoidance and Compliance with Young Worker Safety: Child labor is not to be used in any stage of manufacturing. The term “child” refers to any person under the age of 15, or under the age for completing compulsory education, or under the minimum age for employment in the country, whichever is greatest. The use of legitimate workplace learning programs, which comply with all laws and regulations, is supported. Workers under the age of 18 shall not perform work that is likely to jeopardize their health or safety. The Company and its Suppliers shall ensure proper management of student workers through protection of students’ rights in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Working Hours: Studies of business practices clearly link worker strain to reduced productivity, increased turnover and increased injury and illness. Working hours are not to exceed the maximum set by local laws and regulations.

Wages and Benefits: Compensation paid to workers shall comply with all applicable wage laws, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and legally mandated benefits. In compliance with local laws, workers shall be compensated for overtime at pay rates greater than regular hourly rates. Deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure shall not be permitted. For each pay period, works shall be provided with a timely and understandable wage statement that includes sufficient information to verify its accuracy in compensation for the work performed. All use of temporary, dispatch and outsourced labor will be within the limits of the local law.

Humane Treatment: The Company’s and Supplier’s disciplinary policies and procedures shall be clearly defined and communicated to workers. There is to be no harsh and inhumane treatment, including any sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion or verbal abuse of workers, nor is there to be the threat of any such treatment. Disciplinary policies and procedures shall be clearly defined, documented, and communicated to workers.

The Company recognizes that in addition to minimizing the incidence of work-related injury and illness, a safe and healthy work environment enhances the quality of products and services, consistency of production and worker retention and morale. The Company also recognizes that ongoing worker input and education is essential to identifying and solving health and safety issues in the workplace.

The health and safety standards are:

Occupational Safety: Worker exposure to potential safety hazards (e.g., electrical and other energy sources, fire, vehicles, and fall hazards) are to be controlled through proper design, engineering and administrative controls, preventative maintenance and safe work procedures (including lockout/tagout), and ongoing safety training. Where hazards cannot be adequately controlled by these means, workers are to be provided with appropriate, well- maintained, personal protective equipment. Workers be encouraged to raise safety concerns and shall not be disciplined for raising safety concerns.

Emergency Preparedness: Emergency situations and events are to be identified and assessed, and their impact minimized by implementing emergency plans and response procedures, including emergency reporting, employee notification and evacuation procedures, worker training and drills, appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment, adequate exit facilities, and recovery plans. Such plans shall include the focus of minimizing harm to life, the environment and property.

Occupational Injury and Illness: Procedures and systems are to be in place to prevent, manage, track and report occupational injury and illness, including provisions to: a) encourage worker reporting; b) classify and record injury and illness cases; c) provide necessary medical treatment; d) investigate cases and implement corrective actions to eliminate their causes; and e) facilitate return of workers to work.

Industrial Hygiene: Worker exposure to chemical, biological, and physical agents at dangerous levels is to be identified, evaluated, and controlled according to the hierarchy of controls. Potential hazards are to be eliminated or controlled through design, engineering, and administrative controls. When hazards cannot be adequately controlled by such means, worker health is to be protected by appropriate personal protective equipment programs.

Machine Safeguarding: Production and other machinery should be evaluated for safety hazards. Physical guards, interlocks and barriers are to be provided and properly maintained where machinery presents an injury hazard to workers.

Sanitation, Food, and Housing: Workers are to be provided with ready access to clean toilet facilities, potable water and sanitary food preparation, storage, and eating facilities. Worker dormitories provided by the Company, its Suppliers, or a labor agent are to be maintained clean and safe, and provided with appropriate emergency egress, hot water for bathing and showering, and adequate lighting, heat and ventilation and reasonable personal space along with reasonable entry and exit privileges.

Health and Safety Communication: The Company and its Suppliers shall provide its workers with the appropriate workplace health and safety training in their language of the worker or in a language the worker can understand for all identified workplace hazards that workers are exposed to, including but not limited to mechanical, electrical, chemical, fire and physical hazards. Health and safety information shall be clearly posted in the work facility or placed in a location identifiable and accessible by workers, in accordance with applicable law. Workers shall be encouraged to raise safety concerns and not fear or experience any retaliation or reprisal for so doing.
