7. Compliance with our Ethical Sourcing Code Kmart/Target will monitor compliance with this Ethical Sourcing Code, and we, or our representatives, may visit a supplier’s factories to audit compliance. These visits may occur at any time and be announced or unannounced. Any breaches of our Ethical Sourcing Code will be reported to the supplier for follow up and corrective action. Suppliers are required to cooperate with the entire process. Where there are breaches and/or the supplier does not demonstrate a willingness to comply, Kmart/Target reserves the right to discontinue business with the supplier. Suppliers must make a copy of the Ethical Sourcing Code visible to workers in each factory. Supplemental Standards: • Suppliers must review the Kmart/Target ESC and fully understand the requirements. • Suppliers must also be aware of and comply with the Kmart/Target Ethical Sourcing Code procedural guidelines. The Ethical Sourcing Code procedural guidelines contain procedures relating to: o Factory registration; o Risk assessment; o The Kmart/Target audit program, including corrective action and remediation; and o Training. • Suppliers must ensure their factories are cooperative and transparent during an audit, or other form of inspection, and provide full access to workers, records and factory work areas as well as dormitories and other factory buildings. • Kmart/Target, or their representatives, will be free to conduct interviews with workers in a private setting, outside the presence of managers and supervisors. Suppliers shall not “coach” workers on how to respond during Kmart/Target interviews, e.g. to provide false, misleading, or incomplete information. • A corrective action process must be implemented for timely correction of deficiencies identified by internal or external audits, inspections, investigations and reviews. • Suppliers will not engage a sub-contractor to manufacture any Kmart/Target goods or parts thereof without the express written permission of Kmart/Target. Any contract engaging a sub-contractor must include a contractual provision requiring compliance with the Kmart/Target ESC. • A copy of the Kmart/Target ESC (in the local language) shall be prominently displayed in each factory.
