POLO RALPH LAUREN operates around the world with ethical business practices and the dignity of workers.

Salary / Benefits Our business partners must pay wages, overtime compensation, and all legally required benefits in accordance with all applicable local laws and regulations. Wage and benefit policies must be consistent with current national standards and in line with prevailing international practices to meet the basic needs of workers and their families. We will not work with a company whose wage system violates local laws or prevailing industry practices. 2.

Employees must be guaranteed at least one day off in every seven days . 3. Prohibition of child labor Our business partners must not employ child labourers under the age of 15 . 4. Health and Safety Our business partners must ensure that their workers have a safe and healthy working environment free from unsanitary or hazardous conditions. 5. Freedom to join trade unions Our operations should respect the legal rights of employees to freely join unions as they wish without interference. 6. Prohibition of the use of prisoners or forced labor Our business partners must not work with, or arrange to purchase any materials from, partners that use prisoner or forced labor in the manufacturing of their products. 7. Prohibition of corporal punishment or mental torture Our business partners must not do business in any way with companies that subject their workers to any form of physical or mental torture. 8.

Legal provisions Our business partnerships must be based on mutual respect and compliance with all legal requirements, and our business partners should comply with applicable local and international standards. 12. Professional ethics standards We believe in upholding the highest ethical standards in our business operations and we will work with partners who share our beliefs because doing so is beneficial to our company's reputation and will lead to success for both us and our chosen partners. 13. Points Bag Our business partners may not subcontract all or part of the work on our products without our written consent. Written consent will only be issued if each subcontractor meets all the standards set out herein. 14. Conflict of Interest Our business partners may not give gifts to our employees with a value exceeding $ 25 , nor may they bribe officials in various countries to benefit the company or its business. 15. Execution OK We will implement these standards in the process of selecting business partners and will implement these standards in all business activities.
