COSTCO验厂:这是COSTCO供应商手册第IX部分一共九个部分 IX. ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS. Vendors and Facilities shall comply with all national and local, provincial or other applicable environmental laws and regulations of the country where the merchandise is produced that are applicable to their business practices. In addition, the following may be mandated by local laws, requiring full compliance by Vendor and Facilities. If not mandated by local laws, Vendor and Facilities are strongly encouraged to adopt the following as “Above and Beyond Goals” and as part of their management practices: A. Hazardous Materials and Manufacturing Processes: All hazardous materials and chemicals must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable local laws and must meet or exceed all wastewater treatment and recycling requirements. In the event hazardous or polluting materials are discharged improperly, Vendors and Facilities must notify the appropriate authorities and take immediate remedial actions. B. Air Quality: To improve the air quality in any work using chemicals and solvents, Vendors and Facilities will not use any ozone-depleting chemicals (ODCs). X. FACILITY AUDITS. At any time, with or without advance notice and at Vendor’s expense, Costco reserves the right to audit and/or authorize a third party to audit, without any restrictions, any or all Facilities (including any of its suppliers or subcontractors). Vendor shall require that the Facility’s management provide unfettered access to the Facility and all of its books and records to allow for a comprehensive audit to be conducted, including an opportunity for confidential and private interviews with Facility workers selected by the auditor. No retaliation of any sort shall be taken against any workers or auditors. Upon review of any unsatisfactory audit results, Costco, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate its relationship with a Vendor or Facility, cancel a purchase order, return or revoke acceptance of affected goods and/or require corrective action be taken. The Vendor shall be liable for all related damages incurred by Costco, including lost profits. XI. AUDIT RESULTS AND CONSEQUENCES. A. Categories. Non-compliance with the Vendor Code of Conduct will be divided into categories: “Zero Tolerance” and “Action Required,” with the resulting consequences below. B. Zero Tolerance. 1. Definition: Verifiable findings of illegal child labor, compulsory prison or slave labor or physical abuse. 2. Consequences: a) The violating Facility used by Vendor will be terminated immediately and will not knowingly be used by Costco or any of its other Vendors for a minimum of three (3) years. b) In the event the Vendor who used the violating Facility in a) above uses any other facility at which another Zero Tolerance violation occurs, (i) the Vendor will then be terminated for a minimum of three (3) years; and (ii) Costco or any of its other Vendors will not knowingly use any of the terminated Vendor’s facilities for a minimum of three (3) years. c) After three (3) years from termination, Costco may, at its sole discretion, resume doing business with a Vendor or Facility, if an audit satisfactory to Costco is completed prior to resuming business. C. Action Required. 1. Definition: Verifiable findings of failure to comply with national, local labor and/or environmental laws and regulations. 2. Consequences: a) The Vendor must present an Action Plan (AP) which includes a time frame for each correction. Costco will review and approve the AP and set the target re-audit dates. The time frame for any correction or audit may be extended at Costco’s sole discretion. b) If continuous improvement and eventual full compliance are not achieved within a reasonable time frame, Costco may, at its sole discretion, terminate the Vendor and/or Facility for a minimum of three (3) years. c) After three (3) years from termination, Costco may, at its sole discretion, resume doing business with a Vendor or Facility, if an audit satisfactory to Costco is completed prior to resuming business.
