TJX供应商行为准则

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
