One of the focus points in the CSR approach of Brands On is to create a nice place to work, not only for the people in the company but throughout the supply chain.
To start with, the basics have to apply, and for this Brands On stands by the ETI base code.
Employees in the supply chain must not be forced to work. Suppliers must not use or facilitate any type of involuntary labor, including forced, indentured, bonded, slave or human trafficked labor.
We do not tolerate child labor. Suppliers may only utilize child labor that is permitted by International Labour Organization guidelines. Hazardous work may not be done by anyone below the age of 18 and such individuals must provide documented informed consent.
Fair compensation in compliance with all applicable wage and hour laws, rules and regulations is a must. Employees are provided with reasonable working hours, including maximum work hours, overtime, vacation time, leave periods, and public holidays.
Brands On will treat all employees, including women, with respect and dignity.
We will ensure a work environment free from bullying, intimidation, coercion, corporal punishment or harassment in any form including physical, psychological, sexual or verbal.
The same is expected from our suppliers.
Brands On will make employment decisions including hiring, payment, benefits, advancement, termination and retirement based on ability, qualifications and achievements and not on any personal characteristics. Women and men with similar ability, qualifications and achievements will be afforded similar work opportunities, wages, benefits, contract terms, and facilities.
Suppliers must demonstrate that they do the same.
The rights of employees to choose or refrain from third party representation and to freely associate, organize and collectively bargain, where allowed by law, will be respected.
Employees in the company, as well as in the supply chain, will be provided with safe working conditions; including potable water, adequate sanitation, safety equipment essential for their duties (PPE’s), suitable facilities for women’s health needs, protection from exposure to toxic or harmful chemicals (both use and storage), structurally sound facilities with safe and unrestricted ingress and egress, etc.
Incidents which result in injury to an employee beyond first aid will be documented, investigated and reported to the appropriate authorities.
When living conditions are provided, they must be clean, safe, adequate, unrestricted and promote basic human dignity.
