Code of Conduct

As well as committing to social, environmental and safety standards, all our partner factories need to sign and comply with the Stanley/Stella Code of Conduct. This Code states our commitment to fair and ethical work practices, and outlines the principles we consider essential to our business’ operation. Its standards are derived from the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and are in line with the Fair Wear Foundation’s Code of Labour Practices (CoLP). Our Code of Conduct covers seven pillars:

Continuous monitoring and reports

Prohibition of child labour

Non-discrimation

Our local teams in Bangladesh and China are in close contact with our suppliers. They visit them frequently and develop action plans with the support of various monitoring reports and tools. These include:

Prohibition of forced and compulsory labour and disciplinary measures

Freedom of association
