Verification Requirements For Suppliers
Henry Milbourne has implemented a Code of Conduct (the “Code”) and requires all suppliers (including their subcontractors involved with the manufacturing process for our merchandise) to agree to and adhere to the terms of the Code. The Code sets forth and establishes non-negotiable minimum standards for our suppliers in the areas of health and safety, labor standards, business integrity, and the environment. In addition, we may conduct supplier audits, described below, in order to verify that our suppliers are complying with the Code.
Supplier Audits
We audit and will audit suppliers based upon an analysis of the volume of the supplier’s business and the risk of abuses in the country in which the supplier is located, pose a high risk of working condition violations to ensure that its suppliers are compliant with the Code.
Certification Of Supplier Compliance
We require all suppliers to sign and to adhere to the Code.
Maintaining Accountability
In the event we become aware of any actions or conditions not in compliance with the Code, we reserve the right to demand corrective measures as well as the right to terminate an agreement with any supplier who does not comply with the Code.
