STANDARDS FOR SUPPLIERS
Wal-Mart requires its suppliers to conform to the highest standards of business practices. Its suppliers, their contractors, and subcontractors must comply with the following standards. (Wal-Mart reserves the right to make unannounced inspections of supplier's facilities to satisfy itself of supplier compliance.)
All suppliers shall comply with the legal requirements and standards of their industry under the local and national laws of the jurisdictions in which the suppliers do business, including labor and employment laws of those urisdictions and any applicable U.S.laws. If the industry standards exceed the jurisdiction’s requirements, Wal-Mart will favor suppliers who meet industry standards. All
merchandise shall be accurately marked or labeled with its country of origin in compliance with applicable laws.
EMPLOYMENT: Wal-Mart expects its suppliers to comply with the following onditions of employment.
• Compensation: Suppliers shall fairly compensate employees by providing wages and benefits which are in compliance with the local and national laws of the jurisdictions in which the suppliers are doing business, or which are consistent with the prevailing local standards in the countries, if the prevailing local standards are higher.
• Hours of Labor: Suppliers shall maintain reasonable employee work hours in compliance with local standards and applicable laws of the jurisdictions in which the Suppliers are doing business. Employees shall not work more than 72 hours per 6 days or work more than a maximum total working hours of 14 hours per calendar day (midnight to midnight). The factory should be working toward achieving a 60-hour workweek. Wal-Mart will not use Suppliers who, on a regularly scheduled basis, require employees to work in excess of the statutory requirements without proper compensation as required by applicable law.
Employees should be permitted reasonable days off (at least one day off for every seven-day period) and leave privileges.
• Forced/Prison Labor: Forced or prison labor will not be tolerated by Wal-Mart.
• Child Labor: Wal-Mart will not tolerate the use of child labor. Wal-Mart will not accept products from Suppliers who utilize, in any manner, child labor in the manufacture or in the contracting, subcontracting or other relationships for the manufacture of their products. No person shall be employed at an age younger than the law of the jurisdiction of manufacture allows. Where country laws allow children below the age of 14 years to work, Wal-Mart will only recognize the minimum working age of 14 years,regardless of the law of the jurisdiction.
• Discrimination /Rights: All conditions of employment must be based on an individual’s ability to do the job, not on the basis of personal haracteristics or beliefs. Wal-Mart favors suppliers who do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin,gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and other similar factors.
WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT: Suppliers shall furnish employees with safe and healthy working conditions. Factories shall provide adequate medical facilities, fire exits and safety equipment, well-lighted and comfortable workstations, clean rest rooms, and where necessary, adequate living quarters. Workers must be adequately trained to perform their jobs safely.
CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: We encourage suppliers to reduce excess packaging and to use recycled and non-toxic materials.
RIGHT OF INSPECTION: Wal-Mart or a third party designated by Wal-Mart will take certain actions, such as inspection of production facilities, to implement and monitor these standards.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Suppliers shall not disclose to others and will not use for its own purposes or the purpose of others any trade secrets, confidential information, knowledge, designs, data, skill,or any other information considered by Wal-Mart as "confidential".
A copy of the "Standards for Suppliers" must be posted in a location visible to all employees at all facilities that manufacture products for Wal-Mart.
