Human Rights
We believe that respect for fundamental human rights and dignity is foundational. We are committed to ensuring equal opportunity employment and will always abide by all fair labor practices. We comply with all applicable laws relating to working hours and wages, as well as child labor and human trafficking. We prohibit child or forced labor use in any of our facilities. We do not tolerate any form of unacceptable treatment of workers in our operations or facilities, including discrimination based on ethnicity, exploitation of children, and physical, verbal, or emotional abuse. We fully respect all applicable laws establishing a minimum age for employment to support the effective abolition of child labor worldwide.
