Code of Conduct for Production Partners
(FR集团生产合作伙伴行为准则)
At FAST RETAILING, we are committed to creating truly great clothing and bringing joy of wearing
clothes to customers all over the world. The concept of providing truly great clothing includes
maintaining integrity, respecting human rights and caring for the environment in every aspect of our
business activities. We believe in the importance of ensuring decent working environments and
sustainability throughout the manufacturing process of our products. This code sets the following
minimum standards to be met by all manufacturers involved in manufacturing FAST RETAILING
Group companies’ products, accessories of our products and items related to our products, i.e. our
production partners.
Legal Requirements 法律要求
Production partners must comply with all applicable local and national laws, legal requirements,
and applicable treaties in the country or countries in which they operate (hereinafter referred to
as “Laws”). To maintain uniform standards for decent working environments and sustainability,
FAST RETAILING may set requirements that go beyond the standards of Laws. Where there
are differences or conflicts with this document and Laws, the higher standard shall prevail.
Child Labor 童工
Production partners shall not use child labor. The term “child” is defined as a person either
younger than the age of 15 (or 14 in accordance with exceptions under ILO Convention 138), or
younger than the legal minimum working age (if such a legal standard has been set), whichever
age is higher. Production partners shall maintain documentation to verify the age of all workers.
In those countries where official documents are not available or reliable, production partners
shall establish appropriate and consistent methods to confirm the worker’s age. When
employing workers, production partners shall comply with all Laws related to workers under the
age of 18, and also Laws related to apprentices and learners. Workers under the age of 18 shall
not work under hazardous conditions or during night shifts.
Forced Labor 强迫劳工
Production partners shall not use any bonded, indentured, forced, or slave labor, labor conducted
by prisoners, labor similar to slavery, or labor engaged through human trafficking. Workers
shall not be required to submit original personal legal documents or make deposits of any kind
at any time during the recruitment and employment process. Workers’ freedom of movement
shall not be restricted in either their workplace or living quarters.
Coercion and Harassment 强制和骚扰
partners shall also maintain wage-related documentation. No monetary deductions shall be
permitted for disciplinary action.
Working Hours 工作时间
Production partners shall comply with working hour limits established by applicable Laws, but
under no circumstances shall total weekly working hours exceed 60 hours per week. Production
partners shall provide workers with at least one day off in seven. Production partners shall also
maintain accurate time-in/out records of each worker.
