We are committed to compliance with all applicable employment, labor, and human rights laws of the countries in which we operate. The Human Rights Policy also addresses child labor, forced labor and human trafficking and establishes that our global vendors and suppliers are expected to share our commitment to respecting the human rights and dignity of all individuals.
