Tex Merge Code of Conduct for vendor selection
Our code is derived from the values and standards set by our customers, the United Nations, more particularly the Declaration of Human Rights and many of the ILO core conventions and local LAW.
- It will be our earnest endeavour to meet all the aspects of our buyers’ code of conduct. We will only work with such factories which are approved by our buyers.
- Child labor: Use of Child labor will not be tolerated. We will not work with such business partners who employ workers lesser than 15 years of age. Further, no worker shall be younger than the mandatory school going age in the respective countries of operation. If the local law stipulates a higher minimum age than 15 years, then the more stringent limit shall be applicable.
- Forced labor: We will not work with any factory or organization which engages in forced or bonded labour.
- Disciplinary practices: We expect all our business partners to establish a clear disciplinary action procedure in line with the local law. We will not work with factories whose employees use abusive language, or practice corporal punishment, in the form of mental or physical abuse or any coercive practice in any form against workers.
