their promotional requirements does not infringe anyone’s human rights.
We proactively ensure via random inspections that the operations of our
suppliers do not counter internationally accepted human rights conventions. Propaganda will not use any supplier that does not sign up to and operate by these principles.
Child Labour
A child in this context is a person younger than 15 years of age, or 14 years of age in
accordance with the exceptions for developing countries as set out in Article 2.4 in
the ILO Convention No.138 on Minimum Age.
Propaganda bases its child labour code on the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child, article 32.1. We recognize that children have the right to be protected
from exploitation economically and from partaking in any work that is likely to be
hazardous or to interfere with their education, or to be harmful to their health and
detrimental to their physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.
Propaganda will not co-operate with any company that is involved in child
labour. All companies that deal with Propaganda are expected to respect
children’s rights and to wherever possible help children develop themselves in fields
such as education, sports and to develop into good members of society.
Supplier Monitoring and Enforcement
Propaganda regularly makes random inspections of our Chinese and Far East factories to ensure they continually comply to Propaganda ethical business practices. Any factory that is found to be in breach of their corporate and social responsibilities are given 5 days to rectify the breach and will be re inspected throughout the following six months to ensure that no further breaches occur. If they are found to be in breach again any time after the initial breach Propaganda will cease trading with them and depending on the nature and severity of the breach report them to the appropriate authorities.
A code of practice of ethical standards is to be prominently displayed in the local language in all Propaganda factories.
