TJX供应商验厂/查厂标准

　　THE TJX COMPANIES, INC. VENDOR CODE OF CONDUCT

　　TJX requires that all products offered for sale in our stores be produced in facilities that meet

　　specific criteria, as set forth below:

　　Compliance With Applicable Laws and Regulations: Our vendors and the factories in which

　　the merchandise they sell us is manufactured (collectively, our “vendors”) must comply with all

　　applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to all environmental laws and

　　regulations, and all laws, regulations and internationally adopted restrictions concerning bribery

　　and corruption.

　　Health and Safety: Our vendors must provide their workers with a safe and healthy workplace

　　and safe working conditions.

　　Child Labor: Our vendors must not use child labor. The term “child” will be governed by the

　　national law of the country in which the production is being conducted, including laws defining

　　the age for completing compulsory education. If the laws of that country do not provide a

　　definition or if the definition includes individuals below the age of 14, we define a “child” to be

　　anyone below 14 years of age.

　　Forced Labor: Our vendors must not use forced labor, whether in the form of prison labor,

　　indentured labor, bonded labor, or otherwise.

　　Wages and Benefits: Our vendors must abide with all applicable laws relating to wages and

　　benefits, and must pay the legally prescribed minimum wage or the prevailing industry wage,

　　whichever is higher.

　　Working Hours: Our vendors must not require their employees, on a regularly-scheduled basis,

　　to work in excess of 60 hours per week (or fewer hours if prescribed by applicable laws and

　　regulations). All overtime must be voluntary and must be fully compensated in accordance with

　　the requirements of local law, and except in extraordinary circumstances, employees must be

　　entitled to at least one day of rest in every seven-day period.

　　Harassment or Abuse: Our vendors must respect the rights and dignity of their employees. We

　　will not tolerate human rights abuses, including physical, sexual, psychological or verbal

　　harassment or abuse of workers.

　　Discrimination: Workers must be employed, retained and compensated based on their ability to

　　perform their jobs, and must not be discriminated against on the basis of gender, race, color,

　　national origin, religious, ethnic or cultural beliefs, age, or any other prohibited basis.

　　Freedom of Association: Our vendors must respect the rights of their workers to choose (or

　　choose not) to freely associate and to bargain collectively where such rights are recognized by

　　law
