United States Department of Labour
Non-discrimination
Reebok will seek business partners that do not discriminate
in hiring and employment practices on grounds of race, color,
national origin, gender, religion, or political or other opinion.
Working
Hours/Overtime
Reebok will seek business partners who do not require more
than 60 hour work weeks on a regularly scheduled basis, except
for appropriately compensated overtime in compliance with local
laws, and we will favor business partners who use 48 hour work
weeks as their maximum normal requirement.
Forced or
Compulsory Labor
Reebok will not work with business partners that use forced
or other compulsory labor, including labor that is required as a
means of political coercion or as punishment for holding or for
peacefully expressing political views, in the manufacture of its
products. Reebok will not purchase materials that were produced
by forced prison or other compulsory labor and will terminate
business relationships with any sources found to utilize such
labor.
Fair Wages
Reebok will seek business partners who share our commitment
to the betterment of wage and benefit levels that address the
basic needs of workers and their families so far as possible and
appropriate in light of national practices and conditions. Reebok
will not select business partners that pay less than the minimum
wage required by local law or that pay less than prevailing local
industry practices (whichever is higher).
Child Labor
Reebok will not work with business partners that use child
labor. The term "child" generally refers to a person
who is less than 14 years of age, or younger than the age for
completing compulsory education if that age is higher than 14. In
countries where the law defines "child" to include
individuals who are older than 14, Reebok will apply that
definition.
Freedom of
Association
Reebok will seek business partners that share its commitment
to the right of employees to establish and join organization of
their own choosing. Reebok will seek to assure that no employee
is penalized because of his or her non-violent exercise of this
right. Reebok recognizes and respects the right of all employees
to organize and bargain collectively.
Safe and
Healthy Work Environment
Reebok will seek business partners that strive to assure
employees a safe and healthy workplace and that do not expose
workers to hazardous conditions.
Application
of Standards
Reebok will apply the Reebok Human Rights Production Standards in
our selection of business partners. Reebok will seek compliance
with these standards by our contractors, subcontractors,
suppliers and other business partners. To assure proper
implementation of this policy, Reebok will seek business partners
that allow Reebok full knowledge of the production facilities
used and will undertake affirmative measures, such as on-site
inspection of production facilities, to implement and monitor
these standards. Reebok takes strong objection to the use of
force to suppress any of these standards and will take any such
actions into account when evaluating facility compliance with
these standards.
