FAST RETAILING Group
Code of Conduct for Production Partners
(FR集团生产合作伙伴行为准则)
Environmental Protection
Apart from complying with all applicable environmental Laws , production partners should
strive to improve their environmental performance by meeting the requirements set by FAST
RETAILING – requirements that may go beyond applicable environmental Laws.
Documentation and Communication
Production partners shall establish and maintain management systems and internal rules that
ensure compliance with all the requirements in this code of conduct. Such rules shall be
communicated to all management and workers. The management systems may include policies
and procedures for risk assessments, training, performance measurement, accountability and
documentation.
Monitoring and Compliance
Production partners must allow FAST RETAILING and its designated agents to access all
workers, all facilities, including manufacturing and worker housing facilities, and relevant
documents to confirm compliance with the code of conduct, with or without notice provided in
advance.
Corrective Action
When violations are found, FAST RETAILING and the production partner will agree on a
corrective action plan that eliminates the problem within a reasonable timeframe. If it is found
that a production partner violates this code of conduct, FAST RETAILING will take actions,
which may include immediate cancellation of orders and/or termination of business with the
production partner.
Subcontractors and Homeworkers
When production partners subcontract production orders submitted by any FAST RETAILING
group company to subcontractors or homeworkers, such production partners shall ensure that all
the business activities by the subcontractors or homeworkers are in accordance with this code of
conduct and shall cause all of them to comply with this code of conduct on production partners’
responsibility. Any use of subcontractors or homeworkers by production partners shall be reported
to FAST RETAILING prior to their engagement.
Transparency and Integrity
FAST RETAILING expects all business with our production partners to be carried out in an
ethical and transparent manner. FAST RETAILING does not tolerate any forms of unethical
behavior, including bribery, concealment or falsification of records, or influencing workers to
mislead FAST RETAILING and its designated agents.
