Canterbury’s suppliers should apply the higher standard between legal minimum requirements within their own country and Canterbury standards.
Suppliers must observe and fully apply local laws or regulations on employment protection matters such as minimum wages, equal pay, hours of work and overtime.
Suppliers must not employ children where to do so would disadvantage their education or development. A child is defined as any person below the minimum age for completion of compulsory schooling, or 15, whichever is greater.
Workers must not have to work for any period of time against their will, or under the threat penalty and forced labour is prohibited.
Suppliers must provide a safe place of work and keep to all local laws relating to health, safety and welfare in the workplace.This requirement also applies to any accommodation provided for the workplace.
Canterbury is committed to conducting its operations to meet the needs of customers whilst ensuring at all times these operations have the least possible impact on the environment. Suppliers must manage all waste that they generate in accordance with the local laws or in such a way as to avoid harm to the environment or to the local population.
Canterbury’s staff or their representatives may make inspections of factories producing goods for Canterbury within 24 hours notice supplied.
