Our employees are the backbone of our success, and we are committed to improving the living standards of our people and their families.
As a global business, we strictly adhere to local regulations as well as international standards such as the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and International Labor Organization’s Better Works (ILO) program. We take a zero-tolerance approach to critical issues such as child and forced labor, harassment and abuse, unsafe working conditions, corruption and bribery. Moreover, we meet and often exceed the requirements established by our brand partners to maintain transparency and build mutual trust by championing fair labor rules, competitive wages and benefits, health and nutrition, safe and comfortable working conditions, and freedom of association and grievance procedures.
In Indonesia, we partnered with our brand partner to launch a program that focuses on yoga, mindfulness and wellbeing. In recent years, we have expanded this wellness initiative to our employees and their families across our multiple factories.
In Vietnam, our employees participate in a short exercise routine twice a day to stretch out their bodies and release tension. The program has been well received by our employees and we have scaled this to some of our other facilities.
In Cambodia, we partner with Reproductive Health Association of Cambodia (RHAC) to introduce nutrition, wellness, and STD education programs to our mostly female factory employees. We are proud to be a resource to our employees and utilize our facility to empower them to be in control of their personal lives.
