Code of Integrity
We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation during our auditor’s visit to your factory. At the same time, we would like to remind you about our Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct regarding “Gifts and Gratuities”. Everyone in our company, including our auditors/inspectors, fully understands the company policy and would appreciate your compliance to avoid any misunderstanding.
While we respect that certain practices vary between different cultures, we also ask you to understand that we cannot allow any practice that might undermine or be perceived to undermine our commitment to integrity. Under the procedures our auditors / inspectors are required to report any potential intimidation or any offers of benefits / entertainment to their local management and this in turn will be forwarded to our principals. The audit company may also take further action against any parties who offer such inducements.
We also assure you that our auditors have been fully trained on correct audit a procedure which includes the auditor not requesting any personal benefits as part of the audit process. If you have any concerns on this point, please contact the office names on this document.
Again, thank you for your support and cooperation. Please indicate your understanding by signing on the space provided below.
