FAMILY DOLLAR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY社会责任政策
At Family Dollar Stores, Inc. and our related entities and affiliates, we are committed to our Customers and the Communities where we operate, whether domestically or abroad. As part of this commitment, we seek to ensure that the sourcing of all of our products and services is performed in compliance with the highest legal and ethical standards of social responsibility. We are committed to continuing to evolve our standards and practices to insure the highest standards are being met in a rapidly changing global economy.
Business Partner Code of Conduct: Foundation for our Policy
商业伙伴行为准则：我们政策的基础
Our Business Partner Code of Conduct (“Code”) is the foundation for our sourcing efforts. Our Business Partners must agree to be bound by our Code. The Code is the foundation for our commitment to, and ongoing evaluation of, social responsibility compliance worldwide. As we operate in many different countries, we recognize and respect all the cultural and legal environments in which we and our Business Partners operate. With that being said, our policy sets forth minimum social responsibility requirements that our Business Partners must satisfy in order to conduct business with us. The Code outlines our standards in the following areas:
Work Environment
Labor Policy
Employee Discipline
Non-Discrimination
Workers’ Rights
Working Hours
Wages & Benefits
Child Labor
Country of Origin
Environmental
Anti-Corruption
A copy of the Code can be found at www.familydollar.com with the specific requirement for each standard set forth in its entirety. If the standards in our Code exceed applicable laws, our Business Partners must continue to fully comply with our standards. Our standards were derived from a number of resources, including the International Labor Organization and other global compliance resources. We continue to monitor these resources and any changes that occur in the global economy in order insure that people around the globe are treated fairly and are insured a safe and healthy working environment.
Commitment承诺
When we engage a new Business Partner, we require the new Business Partner to execute and to abide by the Code as a condition of doing business with us. Additionally, our Business Partners must sign our Supplier Agreement which contractually obligates each of our Business Partners to abide by all future updates to the Code and to require adequate training for all of its direct employees and subcontractors. Besides abiding by our Code, we further contractually obligate our Business Partners to certify their agreement to abide by all anti- bribery and foreign corrupt practices acts and laws.
Since compliance is so important, we reserve the right to terminate the Supplier Agreement in the event of a breach of our Code or the Anti- Bribery and Foreign Corrupt Practices Acts certification. By these practices, we insure that our Business Partners understand at the beginning of our relationship that all products manufactured and supplied to us should be in compliance with the highest ethical and legal standards.
