Measures to combat forced or compulsory labor
Generally speaking, all of our producers in „high risk countries" are at risk for using forced or compulsory labor. This issue is included in the FWF (Fair Wear Foundation) „Code of Labour Practices" (CoLP) („Employment is freely chosen") and is monitored in all audits.
In order to determine whether forced labor exists, the FWF examines the following:
- How are workers recruited?
- Are legal regulations upheld?
- Are workers required to pay „deposits" or give their identity papers in order to commence employment?
- How often are salary payments made? Are there cases of outstanding salary payments?
- Are employees allowed to move around freely (drink breaks, use of toilets, leave factory premises)?
In 2014 there were no complaints regarding this aspect in any audits carried out.
